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.

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?

You bet your ass. I may have gotten an extremely loose one, but it was all over the place. I tightened the slide to frame fit, put in an over-under barrel bushing, welded up and fit the top barrel tang and now it's a real shooter. It's been a long time, but I believe I changed out the link to. When I bought it I complained to colt, but they blew me off.

Nah...of course you can move them. I've done so. In a padded vice as db shows you, with a pusher, or with the right punch and technique, they can be drifted easily enough. Now, if you go at it on the kitchen counter without a solid mount for the gun, then sure, you're probably going to have problems. But that's not on Kahr. In any case, I want my sights tight as hell. That's much better than having sights that move on their own over time because the dovetail is too sloppy.

If you can't move your sight, any competent gunsmith can. It ain't brain surgery.
