I'm not really sure what the round count on my CM9 is, I know it's more than 500 and probably less than 700. So let's say 600 rounds. It's broken in, and I have never ever had any malfunctions or issues with it.
So, I bought a new Glock 19 Gen 4 and took it to the range to 'break in'. It went as expected (Very well... It's a Glock, afterall), I want to do more testing with this as I'm going to start carrying it eventually. I went to the range with some cheap target ammo for it but also some Hornady Critical Defense that I carry in my CM9.
Anyhow, since I had a lot of Hornady Critical Defense with me since I was testing the Glock, I figured I'd go ahead and empty the magazine on my carry piece (CM9) while I was there. Why not? Good to practice with your carry piece.
Pull the trigger, bang. Pull the trigger, bang. Pull the trigger... Nothing. Oh no! A round jammed into the feed ramp! This is my carry gun, can't be having jams. I'm not carrying toast.
I'm not sure what could have caused this, as I have mentioned I have put a lot of rounds through it. Is it possible this was caused by the Kahr 7 round magazine? I have read on here (I believe) someone mentioning something about those. I'm now only carrying it with the original 6 round magazine. I keep the gun clean. Have never once had a jam before, not even during the break in period. Just sort of scary that this happened on a carry piece.
Anyhow, just curious if anyone has had this happen to them and what advice they'd offer. I've never had a pistol jam on me before (minus an old 1972~ Ruger Standard) so I am wondering if there is anything I can do to my Kahr to ensure that this never ever happens again. I'm just going to say it was probably the 7 round magazine because if you grip the extension it may move the top of the magazine inside the pistol a little forward and down which may make it harder to feed from. I don't know. I just don't want it to ever happen again so am rocking only the original 6 rounder and may take my other 6 round magazine and remove the Pierce grip extension as well.
Thoughts?
