Just curious, how often to you change out recoil springs? Three barrels? What is going on with that? Does the Kahr CW barrel have the same issues? How was the lifetime warranty service with Kahr. So Kahr tried to blame the broken extractors on steel case ammo. I went through a lot of LCP's for a long time and during the ammo shortage ran steel case ammo through them like crazy. I would get a lot of cracked frames, split rails, broken take down pins etc with or without steel case ammo, but never once in thousands of rounds had a broken extractor. Did Kahr replace the barrels? For all my firearms, I keep a supply of spare parts. Already have the spares you mentioned for the CW, but if a barrel wears out that fast, then this could be my last Kahr at least the P series. If so, I will stick with the Beretta Pico, which truly is built tough. I enjoy shooting the Kahr, nice smooth shooting pistol in all respects, but obviously will not use the New P380 for much other than carry, and shoot the CW as a range gun and try and keep a good maintenance schedule. I am a big believer in changing out recoil springs on small Pocket guns early, so that is not a issue for me.
I will say one thing for Ruger, they would replace my LCP;s, which they did a number of times. I will be very interested to see how long my CW380 will last and as Kahr only has a three year warranty will not buy another one if it falls apart and cannot even make it to 3,000 rds without some kind of failure. (other than recoil springs). Hope my CM9's hold up, as I love that gun as well.
Thanks for the info. Will keep all this in mind.
