Still a bear to rack.....but perfection in performance

[Mike_usn_ret]

Installed new springs and took the CW380 out for a shoot today. another 50 rds thru it....almost 1000 rds now. Loading, firing, ejection and accuracy is one perfect marvel. Still need a boy scout troop, circus strongman and a Seal team to rack it. Is better though...do not need to use the additional 20 mule team with the other members of the gang anymore.

I do agree Kahr’s can be a tight...but really?! My P9 isn’t that bad. Always a good day going to the range.

And my CM9 is a breeze to rack also.....along with every other semi auto handgun I own.

I'll bet every time you change springs your CW380 will be a bear to rack despite break-in.

This is an ongoing thing with my gun. I have changed springs with another CW380 a friend has....his gun was still the same with my springs as it was with his gun's springs, and my gun was still a bear with his springs.????? Trip to Kahr accomplished nothing as they say they replaced a mag spring....which THEY DID NOT, and some other crazy thing I forget what it was, that would also have nothing to do with the problem....obviously because it never corrected the program. As stated in another thread...no EDC with it, a hidden away at home gun for one mag of emergency fire power.

glad you have a CM9 that works well; my CM9 is my EDC/BUG DIV. gun; have about 10K+ rounds down range on original recoil springs and shows no signs of weakning. not a bear by any means, but needs a firm hand to rack and lock back.

My Kahr's are harder to rack than some other makes that I own. I always have to use a very firm grip on the Kahrs. I never carry the CM9 or MX9 without one in the chamber for fear on not being able to rack one into the chamber in emergencies. Some of the others I can leave unloaded in the chamber without worry because of the difference in ease of loading..
