    Likely your magazines are back at Kahr now but when you get them back, load a few rounds into each one and strip them off like the slide would do using your thumb. The rounds should strip out like a greased pig then examine the cartridge cases for scratches. If you see scratches, the interior feed lips of the magazine has burrs. These can create enough drag to prevent your Kahr from chambering. I had burrs in my new P9 magazines causing failures to chamber. Take something like a wood dowel, toothbrush, etc. and push the magazine follower down, then lock it in place by putting a nail through the inspection holes. Take a hardened steel rod, like the shank of a drill bit, and burnish the interior magazine lips to rub off the burrs. This should eliminate any feed problems if this is caused by your magazines.

    Thanks for your replies. I'm sure it will work out with some persistence on my part and the good advice you all have shared. I am really impressed with how the CW40 feels and shoots and I'm determined to make it a reliable CCW.

    Nothing to do with feeding, have you tried a rubber grip on it? It makes a big difference in handling. I use a Pachmyr on mine and it adds much more comfort and control.

    You need to be able to describe the problem accurately. Don't confuse the issue by calling a failure to feed a failure to fire. The least you can do is to point the tech people in the right direction. Was it a failure to feed or a failure to go into full battery. All of those are very different issues.
    Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

    Got CW40 back today. Kahr replaced the barrel. Hope to visit the range in the next few days.
