Wish i never bought a kahr. sight dont adjust and wasnt factory sighted

[danm55]

I just got off the phone with the gunsmith at kahr. after trying every method to move my rear sight including penetrating oil heat and a sight adjustment tool i still couldnt get the thing to move at all. The gunsmith told me theyre just normal dovetails and they move em all the time. this is a lie. after doing more research i found that the kahr sights dont move unless you build a custom sight tool. This is an outrage. i could have bought any other gun and not had this problem. I wish i never bought a kahr. what good is a pistol that you can shoot? Im not gonna shoot a gun that cant be sighted in and shoots way off target. i cant wait to find someone to buy this piece of crap. but it looks lijke you cant even give the things away on gunbroker right now. I dont recomend anyone ever buy a kahr until they fix the sight problem. you shouldnt need a gunsmith to adjust a sight.

I moved mine with a punch and hammer. Tight dovetail but it works.

Breath with me. In with the good,.......out with the bad.......in with the good, ......out with the bad. Hari Krishna, hari krishna.
I know I now feel better, how about you?

Pic of the top of the slide showing both sights would be helpful.
1. At what distance are you shooting?
2. Where do your shots impact the target?
3. Where do the shots impact the target when some other competent shoots the offending gun?

If # 2 and #3 produce dramatically different results, I will give you $50 for that obviously defective firearm.

It's normally the shooter and not the sights. Even more so pronounced when you have a long DA like trigger. I'd wager money that's the case here.

Sometimes the thing to do when you just don't fit your pistol is to trade it for something else that does...I thought I wanted a NAA .22 revolver so I bought one and liked it fine until I tried shooting it and found out I couldn't hit earth with it so I gave up on that and traded it for a Ruger LCP thinking that would work without losing too much money but that thing gave me fits, FTF anything I tried even after much effort at fluff and buff to make it work so gave up and traded for a Beretta Pico .380 which is a great little very slim, carry all day and forget it's in the pocket pistol...Great gun, super small and very accurate for it's size.....If something doesn't work for you don't try a bigger hammer, find another gun that does...

Why not ask Kahr for a prepaid return sticker and send it in? I have a PM9 and a CW380 and love them both. Out of the box they were both more accurate than a Colt GoldCup National Match Series 70 that I bought new many years ago. If you are serious about selling why not list it here?

Are you serious? More accurate than a Gold Cup?
