Kahr Serial Number History by WIG19 on GlockTalk

[flccw45]

Happy to be aboard...thank you. Just picked up my CW45 from my FFL yesterday (ordered from Cheaper than Dirt) and right away, not impressed with the build quality of the gun compared to my CM9. Serial number is SE0263. I noticed the slide didn't have the 2 dimples inside (to indicate new style sights); the rear of the trigger has jagged edges, the front tip is sharp, and the trigger itself wobbles left to right (lots of play), and the bottom of the mag well has scrapes and scrathches as if it was dropped. I called Cheaper than Dirt and asked what's up--was told all sales are final. I'm suspecting I just purchased and old stock from CTD. Please advise. Thank you.

I wouldn't think that CTD had any old stock in such a fast selling gun. Contact Kahr CS and tell them these things. They should send you a prepaid shipping label and have a look at it.

Thanks for the advise JFootin. I did email CS and informed them of the issues with my new CW45, however, being Saturday, no one to read and reply to it. Wait 'til next week I guess. I also emailed Mr. Harris but only asked him about the dimples inside the slide, and in less than 2 hours, on a Saturday, I received a reply from him!!! Outstanding CS!!! He informed me that all of Kahr 45ACPs are produced with the new dovetail cuts, thus no dimples on the slides. Good-to-know info. I'm feeling much better already, I still have to deal with the loose, jagged, and sharp trigger though.

Built in Dec 11 after Camden's I'm guessing
Purchased Jan 13.

They sure don't stick around long.

I had to go to my 3rd closest LGS. The 2 closest said "Nah...we don't stock those. We can get 'em though." Both are listed on the Kahr website as dealers.
