Kahr warranty work?

[OiRadio47]

I have to send in my wife's Kahr K40, for some failure to feed issues. Had problems with it since new. Struggled to get through the 200 round break in.

How long should I expect them to have the gun before it gets sent back? Never shipped a firearm before. Somewhat nervous it will get lost, or stolen!

Check out the Kahr forum. They'll be able to tell you what to expect. Fortunately my 1st one was fine and gets carried. Haven't had a chance to shoot the second one yet. Fingers crossed!

My formerly owned CW-40 had a relatively quick turn around time...both times.

You might try calling their customer service. They are great on the phone.

I have a CW45 that I traded an Ingo member here for and had to send it in for two problems. I got it back within a month and after a proving process it is my EDC.

FYI, OP:

If you are not the first owner of this gun do NOT volunteer that information to them.

I don't advocate that you lie to them if asked, but their warranty hasn't been "lifetime" for a handful of years now.

Original owner. Bought it mostly because my wife wanted one. I really like it, but have no faith in it now.

When I get it back, if I decide to keep it, i will have to put SEVERAL hundred rounds through it to even consider carrying it. I just expect a failure to feed every time I pull the trigger!

I hear ya.

Mine came back the first time - I worked on another 200rd break-in period. Then realized the mag catch was bad. It would drop the mag (somewhat forcefully) on the next-to-last round in every mag. Very strange malfunction.

Got it back...again...and then put another flawless 250 rounds through it.

I sold it at full disclosure because *I* could no longer trust THAT gun.

I still like Kahrs. I just don't like their polymer guns in .40S&W. (And my buddy's P45 was a turd, too)

Did you check the followers? They have been known to break.

This problem was (supposedly) rectified several years ago.

Until I read this, I'd forgotten that 2/3 of my followers broke. They did send me free replacements. While on the phone with them - they told me that it was an issue with the polymer blend that their vendor was using and that it had been rectified by the time I'd called them.

That was the issue with widespread mag follower breakage anyhow.

Still - check your followers to be sure.

Turn around time is totally dependent on their workload. I've only heard good things about their customer service and warranty repairs.
