Victorlautreamont can you give us an update? How it is behaving now? Did you do or have any service done to it since? Thanks.

Thanks for weighing in, I appreciate it. I will do that for sure.

Good advice, I will do that thank you!

Thanks for the heads up. Kahr sent a free recoil spring that has almost fixed the issue. It feeds better and does not have the "hitch" anymore. I'm thinking one of the extra strength recoil...

What is the stock length of the recoil spring supposed to be?

Strictly in terms of power to weight ratio the CM40 is the .357 snub nose of this era compared to others.

What a novel and interesting use for a pocket pistol! Bet no one at Kahr thought of that when they were designing these.

Hey guys, so I looked around and do not have reason to believe peening is an issue at this point.

The "hitch" still remains.

It ran flawlessly last time except it would FTF when taking only the...

You really hit the nail on the head in regards to trigger control. Its the long trigger pull that most people aren't expecting, but no reason anyone cant be just as capable with it than another. I...

This is great it looks 100% better than the Kahr mags.

Ed M , the slide definitely rubs over the barrel but it does not appear to be "impacting" rather rubbing. What else might I look for in the case of peening ?
Thank Ed!

Greg, thank you very much for your suggestion and idea I will try that right away.

Greg,

I can still feel the "hitch" even when holding the slide release down. Is it possible some thing else is impacting or scraping the the follower? Or could this be the barrel touching the...

OldFatGuy how about your CM40 ? I wonder if the .40 has any issues compared to the CM9 with the reduced power spring kit. Thank you much.

Great thanks for the update, sounds pretty reliable.

Greg,

Thank you very much I really appreciate the suggestion. I will try that out asap. From the top of my head it seems that is about the point the "hitch" was happening.

This forum and its...

Hello all,
New member here and new to Kahrs.
The CM40 just outside of the break in period, and Im noticing an odd "hitch" as the slide is manually pulled back with an empty magazine in.

Funny I had more problems with the Hornday Critical Def than the cheap blazer aluminum case I found.

Can either of you guys give a long term update on the spring kit specifically in terms of reliability?

Good advice thanks for keeping us on point, also thanks for an important aftermarket part(s) !

Thanks for the tips guys this is just what I was looking for.

Big bird any other suggestions on ammo that ran well? Specifically range ammo and PD ammo? Brands and bullet weights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone have problems with Hornady Critical Defense 165 grain or Blazer Brass 180 grain?
