Things to do while you're waiting:
Get a box and some filler and go ahead and fill out a FedEx AirBill so that you'll be ready when FedEx comes to pick it up for the trip back to the factory.
Oh, first check for the defects and make a list. Then email
Ian.Burr@kahr.com and include pix.
Things to check for:
1. Night Sights: see if they work in the dark.
2. The
Notch: see if the notch is machined out in the recoil spring assembly receptacle at the front inside of the slide. If it ain't there, you'll have problems until the spring assembly batters its own "notch" out of the thin metal that isn't supposed to be there.
3. Lock the slide back and insert a FULL magazine slowly until it clicks into place. Did the top round stay clear of the slide lock to the left? Is there a space or
gap between the rear of the top cartridge and the lower part of the slide below the striker-pin hole... is the stripper behind the base of the cartridge? If the "stripper" is sitting on any part of the cartridge, the slide will ride over the cartridge and not go into battery, or the slide will go into battery on an empty chamber. Do this at home as well, but initially, after chambering a round at the range, when you get that far, pull the magazine out and see if a round is missing. This saves aiming and pulling the trigger on an empty chamber. Be safe! With this problem, you can pull the slide all the way to the rear and get just enough clearnce for the stripper to get behind and push a round into the chamber after you release the slide... don't ride the slide, though, let it go completely.
Disassemble the pistol and check for a bevel on the stripper. This should preclude the problem just mentioned. While the pistol is apart, look for the notch described in # 2.
This is not a complete list of things, but if you have any of these known recent problems, well, you have problems and they'll show up in firing the pistol.
Just the list the problems and take pictures to send to Ian. He'll help you and make things right.
I'm
sort of kidding, but check your new pistol out before rushing to the range.
I hope you have no problems with yours, but Kahr will make it right if you do.
Good Luck and Good Shooting with this "best of the Kahrs"
to me, anyhow.

PS: I'll try to run down some of the photos of problems and put links or pix here. I hope this helps!
PIX: 1. The notch 2. PM45 un-beveled stripper 3. Beveled stripper 4. No gap or space between stripper -- note that the stripper rests ON the rear of the cartridge, resulting in 5. Scraped and un-chambered top cartridge!
