I know there is a thread on broken strikers here, but I feel the need to add a new thread. My CW 380, RH serial numbers. I would guess has about 700 rds through it. I have never dry fired the gun unless a snap cap was in place. I must have snap cap dry fired this gun about 1000 times. I fired a box of PPU yesterday. I had one round not go off and it had a light primer strike. The round went off when I rechambered the gun. Figured hard primers.
I came home and gave the gun a total strip and cleaning, ala, took the slide apart and cleaned, checked everything. I gave extra attention to the striker. I checked it, tugged on it. Looked fine. Not a lot of meat there, but otherwise looked good. Put the super clean gun back together and all was well.
I put the Azoom snap cap back in, and dry fired while watching TV. Fine for about 15 pulls of the trigger, then the gun made an odd sound. No snap, but a "Pphff". Reset, and again, "Pphff". I stripped the slide and I have a broken striker.
It seems like the striker could easily redesigned with a little more strength in the area of breakage. I have sent an email to jay.dandrea@kahr.com about it. Is that the right email? I would like this fixed. I love the gun.
