Hello from central WI

[Abraxxas]

I was in the GS last week looking at a P250 Subcompact for the 3rd time, wanting a "less bulky" 45 than my others to add to the EDC rotation. I was scratching my chin wondering if I should buy it this trip when curiosity got the best of me and I asked to see the CW45 right next to it in the case. I had seen the Kahr's many times but never handled one and I needed to waste some time while I pondered the Sig. As soon as I picked it up, it just felt right. It felt great in my hand. It pointed natural. Although I've never been much on two tone, it actually struck me as looking quite nice with the matching trigger and mag release. I went home and spent the rest of the evening online reading reviews. I came back the next day and bought it, it just seemed like the right thing to do :)

I've run through the prep and mod threads and done all that apply. Hopefully weather will permit an outing this weekend, I'm looking forward to running some ammo through this little guy.

Welcome to the forum. Be sure and watch the take down video for particular instructions on proper re-assembly. Anyone can get a Kahr apart, but you can easily break one or cause malfunctions in several areas when putting it back together! Here's the blanket boiler plate for new members that I threw together.

If everyone read the manual and watched the take down video for their pistol, and read the F.A.Q.'s at kahr.com, we would have a lot less "malfunctions" and newby questions. I'm not trying to be a smarta$$... just trying to really help!:)

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.

There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!
