Greetings everyone - I have been shooting for quite a few years but just picked up my first Kahr early this week. I won't be able to shoot it until this coming weekend. So far, I like it - I am impressed at the quality of the machine-work inside the slide. I had heard that the Kahr's don't pre-cock (poor term) the striker, but I shined a light up the magwell and sure enough the striker is pre-tensioned as much as a Glock as far as I can tell.
But, I have to ask a newbie question: has anyone ever experienced, or heard of, a slam-fire with a Kahr? The recoil spring tension is SO heavy that it just makes me nervous. It's too heavy for me to carry it with an empty chamber the way I do with my Glock 42.
Understand that I may be chastised for carrying a Glock with an empty chamber - fortunately I live in a low-threat environment and don't go out at night!! Info will be greatly appreciated - I won't move it over to carry mode until after I have at least 50-rounds through it...
