I purchased a brand new CW9 based on the glowing reviews and recommendation of a local dealer.
Beatiful piece if you are wanting one to look at.
However, after running 20 rounds of new 115grain Winchester White box, the overload panel blew out. Upon close examination a shell did not enter the chamber completely and blew out just ahead of the cap.
Contacted Kahr, spent many weeks without my gun. Received the repaired unit and took it to qualifying for my CCW. 12 rounds into qualifying it once again blew out the side.
Sent back to Kahr, they replaced it.
Went to the range with new ammo, this one shot well through about 40 rounds, and guess what? another blowout.
Is this a common expectation.
In a personal defense situation I don't like to have an undependable weapon.
Is this to be expected?
