I've fired a couple thousand rounds of ammo specifically for the purpose of getting this problem figured out. And why have I bothered? Because when it actually shoots this pistol is phenomenal. Easy to carry and accurate. And I know there are others out there with guns that run nearly 100%.
By the way I purposely did not clean this pistol after the last range outing, because I know the issues start happening as soon as it gets dirty. I was just shocked to see it stumble so badly this trip, especially after everything I've done with it. I would pay Kahr to solve the issue if it wasn't for the fact that they'd likely just replace the recoil spring, fire off one mag and hand it back to me.
I'd contact them and let them know exactly what you've gone through. When you send it, I'd write down everything you've experienced, what you did to try and resolve it and let them have a shot at making it correct.
I think often times there's a loss in translation between the end user, the guy on the phone and the guy on the bench.
Although sometimes the guy on the phone is also on the bench which is a good thing.
No need for frustration. It's disappointing to have to send a new guy back or any gun ever for that matter but sometimes it just needs to happen.
