With the slide off is there pretty good spring pressure keeping the lever down. Not slop or take up then.
Wonder why they would say that isn't the problem. It's very easy to hit the lever with the thumb but with multiple shooters having the same issue thats not likely the culprit.
You've done the slide off, install slide stop, insert full magazine inspection to make sure the bullets are hitting the lever?

yea, actually that was the 2nd thing i did after making sure my thumb wasnt grazing the slide stop.Originally Posted by Bawanna45cal
The bullets come VERY CLOSE but do NOT touch the slide stop. it looks like very tight tolerances and the gun is made right. so i dont know what to think

u might see if kahr would send u a new slide stop to try to trouble shoot this. a call to kahr and talking to Jay or eion and explaining exactlyh what you have done and what you have checked over to. they might send you a new slide stop in hopes thissolves the issues. after that the gun is gonna have to go back. I would also ask kahr tosend you a new slide stop spring. Yourws might look good but it could not be doing what it is designed to do. It is ano brainer i the MK's to replace. Not sure but I think that little torx screw is a #6 torx too. U can buy it at sears for about $5.
. My PM9 has over 40,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border
