SHOVELHEADRIDER Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 You would think the A/O would concern themselves with product quality instead of dubious fluff. Sorry to be so negative but......and yes, I still own mine despite repairs for one failure that ran 25% of what the gun sold for. In total I've dropped about 33% in repairs to it to run maybe 300 rounds through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In total I've dropped about 33% in repairs to it to run maybe 300 rounds through it. The fact that a competent Thompson smith can make the guns run reliably is proof that AO/Kahr could produce a quality arm if they would choose to. Of course that would probably put the guns in a price range similar to the OOW 1918 SLR. They're more concerned with moving lesser quality guns out the door ... Quantity VS Quality Of course this is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantity VS Quality Of course this is just my opiniI agree with your first line. On the second line, how much more does it cost to do the job a second time? And how much in future business does it cost them when potential customers go elsewhere to purchase a firearm? I assume that they do not believe in the 10:1 ratio theory, that while a happy customer will tell one person an unhappy customer will tell 10.

shadycon Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Smart marketing on their part! Make a commemorative,"It' to nice to shoot", no shoot,no problem, no send back, no need to repair, no problem ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOVELHEADRIDER Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Similar to what we used to say in the hot rod world,"If it don't go chrome it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haenelistklasse Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Wow! Those are really cool! I don't think the Tommy gun is $2000 cool but that would be a gun that would be neat to have but it would be too nice to shoot. I give it two thumbs up!!!

SHOVELHEADRIDER Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, at least on the bright side of things if nobody shoots it Kahr can truthfully say that they cut their warranty claim rate to zero on that particular model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
