Hello All,
I received my P380 back from Kahr a couple weeks ago after they had replaced the recoil spring, slide pin and slide pin spring. They had originally had a PM 9 slide pin spring / screw installed and was preventing my slide to lock open on the last shot. Anyway, I'm now having a number of FTFs. I have put about 100 rds of Remington, UMC, 200 rds of Winchester white box and about 100 rounds of Magtech through it and I'm getting a FTF rate of 10 percent. I spent last weekend with some Flitz polish and polishing wheels on my dremel and polished the throat, feed ramp, slide guides and the top of the barrell. I went out today and shot 100 rounds of Magtech and had a 5 percent failure to feed. This is still too many.
I started to wonder if the springs were correctly installed. They came back from the factory with the closed ends in opposite directions. I remember we had this discussion back in June and decided that was the way they are supposed to be. I just reviewed Kahr's video and it now shows that both closed ends go against the barrell with the open ends facing out. Now I'm totally confused as to what is right. Does anybody know for sure????
