Grabbed a CW9 last week. Googled it, Cleaned it, lubed it, racked it a bunch of times, cleaned a bunch of plastic out of it, lubed it. Brand new. I read the manual but there was very little in there to be honest.
Been going to the range every other day or so since i got it. I've thrown about 200 rounds down range this week and have had too many problems to count. I know they are supposed to have a break in period but this is crazy. I have used a variety of ammo, all brass FMJ. I only have one magazine at this time. I have a second "rebate" 7rd coming from Kahr and purchased a couple 8rds also Kahr but from a different vendor.
I can put the pistol in a vice and the magazine will still fall out. It doesn't happen on any particular round but it does happen on nearly every magazine. This causes a failure to feed more often than not. Obvious culprits are my thumb and not seating the magazine... but at this point there is absolutely no way that is possible, it has been empirically proven - the magazine simply falls out all on its own.
I have had failures to fire where the round has no dimple and I still got a click. I have very little idea as to why this is possible. I'm pretty sure the trigger feels different when it is about to not-fire. I have honestly never experienced the feeling that comes from a click when expecting a bang. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but this gun is doing it to me in some way with every magazine.
I really want to like the gun, and for the most part I do. I shoot well with it, certainly.
But even taking it apart is depressing. I honestly don't enjoy cleaning it because it has a bunch of burrs and is marred here and there. Black drips of plastic in the slide. I don't get it. It was supposed to be not a cheap gun. The fit and finish is really bad in my opinion. I gave it the benefit of doubt, break in period and all... But there is really no way these things are going to get smoothed out...
I want help with it so i'm holding back a rant, but honestly I don't understand how this is even acceptable lol. What kind of lazy POS doesn't wipe off excess plastic before it cures? Honestly laughable.
Are your guys' slides jagged as hell? Would you be OK with this? Why the hell is my magazine dropping out? Seems unrelated but who knows.
The polymer grip is also pretty dang jagged, i can take pictures of that but seems less important for some reason.
There are 4 pictures, I think they were too big and preventing me from posting.
