    Default Is this normal or a problem?

    I returned from the range today shooting my CW45. I have put over 300 rounds through it without any problems.
    However, when cleaning it today, I noticed this. It doesn't feel rough and doesn't seem to affect loading at all, but I'm not sure what to think.
    Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated.

    Looks like the nickel plating is coming off. It shouldn't effect function if its still smooth. You might want to send that picture to Kahr and see what they say about it.

    In my limited experience with Kahr cs the picture being sent to them is a must. I tried to explain an issue and when I emailed a picture I got an immediate response.

    Wow, learn something new every day. I didn't know that the barrel was plated.

    I'm wondering if you polished the ramp yourself, and how it was done....

    That can be "blended" if Kahr wants to do nothing about it, or just leave it be.

    How old is the gun and how many(total) rounds went through it?

    If it is in fact a flake off the nickle I say replace the barrel. If it flaked there it could flake anywhere. The ramp takes a beating and that could become nose dive hell.

    How do you clean the barrel?

    Was that you using a dremel and flitz for routine cleanings? If not and its a bad plating job, you need a new barrel.

    Send those pics to Kahr CS and they'll surely replace that barrel.
    Very interesting...
