Premature slide lock

[Speedy]

hmmmm, looks like the pm45 and mk9 have different set ups when it comes to the slide stop spring......

[jocko]

I don't think so, both use that little sprinly on the left side of the frame by the slide stop lever.

[Speedy]

Here's the MK9

[Speedy]

Here's the PM45. They are different.

[jocko]

well in a sense ur right but my point was that little springy might need some tweeking. They both work the same way.

sorry about that..

Slightly difference configuration, same concept. The K's have the spring on the right side, totally different and stronger in my estimation.

Jocko beat me again, he wins, I lose. And history repeats itself.

I called Kahr and they said its not the problem
hmmm
*scratches head*
i mean it IS tight but not as tight as my K9 slide stop. I told the tech that and he said its not the problem. He indirectly blames the shooter. I shoot lots of other guns with no problems. Friends and LEO friends of mine have had the same problem.

Right, the K9 is VERY TIGHT. I have to tap the slide stop to dissassemble.
With the MK, i can push it out with my finger. Its not loose, just snug.

this. put a dab of great on the springhy. On the tip and also on the back side. That is what snaps into the slide stolp lever.If you look at that lever u will see a groove right by the flat peace of the slide stop. that back part of that little psringhy snaps into that groove. That is what keeps the slide stop from coming out accidently. Some are tighter than others, but nothing like the K9 slide stop spring. Mine is very tight and Ihave to give it a tap with something hard, which is OK, as it is designed to work that way. Forget how other guns work .I have never seen a slide stop set up like the polymer kahrs or the MK kahrs. If u look closedly at it that little springhy thing does two distinct functions.#1 It brings the slide stop downward and #2 It locks the slide stop in the frame also. really kindof ingenious, although I wish the polymer kahrs springhy screw went into a metal insert, like the MK series threads into. But again, they really don't give any issues unless you fokk with them..:86:
