This looks to be on its way to a fix but just for kicks and giggles, maybe you should take a careful look at the bottom rear of the slide. That disconnector tab is actuated by a radiused slot at the...

The closed end of both springs goes against the flange of the guide rod which fits into the recess at the front of the barrel lug. Open end of springs toward muzzle; don't let them into the guide rod...

Sir, would you need to reinforce the head end before installing grommets? Perhaps inserting several layers of nylon into the sleeve and having a shoe repair stitch it in then set the grommets.

I did my first Win-10 upgrade on a tablet yesterday. I did the upgrade then left it plugged in and running so it can catch up on the updates for a day. I'll get back to it in a few days, run the...

Muggsy,

Very saddened to hear of your brother Greg's passing. I lost a long time and continuous friend of 43 years a while back. We teasingly called him by the name his mom's used most frequently,...

Hoppe's Elite

Cleans very quickly and I can use it in the house without..., well, you know.

eViking, no, this one is a late 2006 assembly. Read the OP and supplement, the malfunction is not with the springs. I bought it used fully expecting it had problems for the price paid. As I said...

The sight sounds interesting. Early on, Kahr had some Miniature Machine Co. (MMC) fixed and adjustable sets; I don't remember if they ever offered their tritium options. They look Bo-Mar(ish) and...

Their leather is very well constructed and everything was very tight at arrival. It took quite while to break it in but has turned out to be a great rig. I have been meaning to talk to them about a...

Turn your recoil spring around. The closed end goes against the flat end of the guide rod.

Oops, that should be SPRINGS on a x380... both closed ends against the flat.



MarcinStL, sorry,...

Gentlemen, wow, I really appreciate the help coming here.

Greg, thank you, I'm gonna have to owe ya one for stripping that slide; didn't mean to be a PITA. I don't see the .001" difference 'tip to...

Thanks for reading, Muggsy. The pencil test can be an indicator of the striker spring condition but the malfunction here is the short protrusion beyond the breach face (damm, they warned me this...

Can anyone check the length of a P9 Striker for me?

I picked up a P9 a short time ago. At initial cleaning and inspection, I noted some roughness on the striker and in the channel as well as an...

GB, I am honored to be quoted by you, cowboy. I have read and re-read many of your posts and stickies over the years, even copied a few to my notebook while learning the subtleties of surgery on Kahr...

Gene, did you find any metal chips, shavings, etc. in the striker channel when it was disassembled? Not that it would be all that unusual in this CNC age all of it need to be cleaned out. Larger...

If you are not in immediate need, try MidwayUSA dot com. The six round CM/PM/MK 9mm mags are out of stock tonight but my experience is they will send them out in about a week. $28.79 and a little...

Caen1944,
That raised my batting average...

I saw a post here recently that someone put a set of P9 (?) sights on a P380; apparently the dovetail cuts are the same or closely similar. His...

Dang it! WHY did I LOOK??

I want some for my K40...

A lot of years ago, I had my loading bench in the basement and stored the ammo in boxes on the floor and shelves under the bench. Came home one day and all the windows on the main level had moisture...

You're getting off easy, Shadetree. ICE in Mid-TN, sleet and ice pellets all day, about 1 1/2" of it on the drive and deck; 18 at the moment, headed for 10. It's gonna be nasty in the morning......

There will be a slight space visible between the blade and slide on a dovetailed sight. It keeps the blade from marring the top of the slide on the way to center.
Measure your sight heights. The...

The gold flakes are likely fine chips of the brass case from extraction/ejection; nothing to to worry about. They will mostly disappear as the sharp edges of the parts wear down.

The sights...

TonyK,
Would you mind putting up some photos of Kahr's work? I, for one, would be interested in seeing what they relieved on the barrel.

Then use M193. How many helmets do you need to penetrate, anyway?

It looks like the spring was dislodged during reassembly and crushed by the block. Try dipping the bottom of the spring (end that goes into the block) in a slight bit of gun oil, CLP, etc when...
