Glad it helped!

I'm honored, I see this was made a sticky!

1911's are an engineering masterpiece, especially considering they were designed and built in the late 1800's on early manufacturing equipment! Wish I could have met John Browning

You are not shortening the pin, you are removing some of the diameter allowing the extractor more space on the breech face.

the problem is the clearance between the breech face and extractor hook...

If you still have the Kahr please try the mod, all Kahr needs to realize is they need just a tad more clearance between the breech face and the extractor hook to get reliable feeding. If you are up...

220 grit sandpaper will work, go slow and check your progress often to prevent removal of too much material. Any course knife sharpening stone will work but must be thin enough to fit between the...

I just used a course stone to remove the material, if you do not have a set of stones you could put sandpaper on a hard surface, would just have to move to a fresh spot frequently as the sandpaper...

Where in the cycle is it stopping? Is it hanging up as the round is angled going into the chamber?

I like my defensive guns to eat anything.

a radius will not solve the problem, the failure to return to battery is caused by extractor to breech face being so tight it does not allow the round...

I apologize for my lack of attendance, looks like you guys are getting along nicely without me anyway :-)

I hesitate to use looks as the deciding factor as to weather or not you have a problem...

I spent the time to document this fix hoping it would help others. I just dug this thread up to update it to say I have also repaired a friends CW 380 and its worked beautifully on that firearm as...

I agree, you only hear about the "bad" ones on the forums, that said, I have a large group of shooting/gun buddies, out of the 4 Kahrs we own all of them have needed some tweaking to get them to...

It seems like this forum is littered with guys tinkering with their Kahrs to make them more reliable! Many guys send them in 2 or 3 times to have them fixed! I think Kahr is really on to something...

Anything is possible, but I can't imagine incorporating striker interference into a design, just asking for trouble IMHO.

It may contact less but it is still contacting, this may be some of the issues with the broken strikers, the striker is designed to stop when it hits the primer, by meeting resistance on the back...

Anyone ever notice the "smear" or elongation of the dimple that is left behind from the primer strike? The barrel is unlocking before the striker is retracted, this lateral pressure could be...

I am calling this a 100% fix for the FTF, extraction and out of battery stuff that was affecting my CW380. I have a couple hundred more rounds through it with ZERO failures of any kind.

here is a...

The striker indeed catches the top round in the magazine, drop your mag and clear the gun, insert a mag loaded with a dummy round and pull the trigger. Now before racking the slide try to remove the...

I have a CW380 that has erratic ejection, I worked on and solved a FTF issue and now intend to focus on trying to get the ejection a little more consistent. I bought a Glock 34 that suffered from the...

and to think I thought taptalk was just an annoying pop up, here is the pic, it's my first time posting with taptalk so if something goes haywire please be gentle!

I have some diamond coated...

I knew I was going to get spanked for not including a picture, lets just say I am better at trouble shooting mechanical things than navigating forums. I will post up some pictures when I figure out...

Yes, you remove material from the front side of the round lug. This allows the extractor to move forward creating more space between the hook and breech face

Bought a CW 380 in December, I shot 200 rounds through it in the first couple outings, 100 rounds of Remington and 100 of Fiocchi. The Fiocchi was terrible, it fell short of battery about 90% of the...
