Proper prep of a new kahr

[getsome]

I thought there was a picture on here somewhere but it you have the slide off turn it upside down, sights facing down with the muzzle pointing away and you will see a center ridge on the striker end and the little clean out hole will be on the right side about 1/4 inch back from the muzzle end of the ridge...A red plastic spray can tube will fit that hole tightly so push it in until it is snug and spray the gun scrubber and you will see the spray coming out the striker hole and if you can take your thumb and push back and forth on the striker where the spring is while spraying that will clean it out good...Wear SAFETY GLASSES!....Gun scrubber or non chlorinated brake cleaner in the eye will make you start speaking in tongues, don't ask how I know this....Hope that's somewhat clear so spray away and don't put any lube on the striker itself but lube up everything good and go shooting....Good luck and if you need any other help let us know...Hopefully somebody has a picture they can post, kinda hard to describe with words but the little hole is there and if a spray tube fits in there, you found it..

Thanks, getsome.
Hole in front of that #9 arrow point?

Yep, that would be it, just stick the tube in there real good and go at it....and if you can push back and forth on #7 it will help clean out the channel....I knew there was a picture somewhere which makes things much easier to describe....

One last thing about Gun Scrubber or Non Chlorinated Brake cleaner, it's very strong stuff and WILL take the white paint stripe off the rear sight on standard pistols without night sights...I much prefer to use Electronic Cleaner to clean guns with because it works fine and dries almost instantly and won't harm painted surfaces....

Great tips.
I am waiting for Gunscrubber from Amazon Saturday.
I have a few handguns with night sights and some without. Great info on the paint issue on non night sights.
