The CW45 I got last janaury was a problem child. On paper, it was everything I wanted in a CC hand gun, but it had every type of jam with no apparent reason.
First I thought I had a problem with the slide stop. Kahr sent me a new one gratis. Still had problems
Then I figured out that the front frame rails were short thanks to marcnstl. Kahr replaced the frame and that put a stop to all the random jams.
Got the gun back with the new frame and started having to futz with the slide stop spring. I got the slide top spring adjusted properly, then the darn trigger bar broke. This happened at about the 1200 round mark.
Went back to Kahr and they fixed it in about two weeks. Then it sat in the safe because I kinda lost faith in it.
Last weekend I put a hundred rounds reloads through it, then twenty rounds of hornady "zombie" ammo through it with no real problems except having to bump the mag to nudge it in to battery twice with the reloads.
Today I gave it a "torture test" of 300 rounds of 230 grain xtreme plated over 6.0 grains of unique, aka "flaming dirt." By the end of the session the front of the gun looked like it had a custom bronze fade finish because of the powder residue. Then I put another twenty rounds of hornady zombie ammo through it. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM ALL DAY Not even a hint of an issue.
I finally trust this gun as much as my CM9, and I'm looking forward to using it for CC. Probably gonna use Hornady Critical Duty ammo since the bullet profile matches the bullet profile of the zombie ammo, which seems to function well even when the gun is pretty dirty and short on lube.
It finally seems to be living up to it's promise. I'm pretty pumped.
Just sharing.
