Hi, just joined this board a couple of days ago. This is a wonderful place to find out info. I wish I had found it earlier. I just purchased a Kahr Arms 1927 A-1 deluxe and am having some reliability issues. I have searched the board and found some similar posts & fixes. Just a couple of questions.
The issues are reliability related.
1. Misfeads - factory L drum and mag.
2. FTF - appears to be out of battery.
3. Drum doesn't function worth a hoot.... 2-3 rounds and stoppages. I followed instructions diligently.
4. As indicated in the manual - used brass case Win 230 ball ammo. Tried some other factory ammo of same weight and had the same problems. Approx 500 rounds fired.
5. When installing their drum it slides all the way thru unless you line it up with the catch just right.
I have lusted after the semi for quite sometime and expected good quality out of Kahr arms. The finish is great as is the wood, but for $1K expect it to run.
How many rounds do I need to fire to wring any bugs out ......I've never deal with anything that didn't work out of the box (maybe I'm just lucky). I bought this wholesale thru my club (we have an FFL) and the wholesaler says "we are not a warranty station....contact the manufacturer". I've only had it for a week. It has been cleaned and oiled per the factory instructions.
I know people have had differing experiences with these.
What remedies could I expect thru the factory. I don't want to wait 6+ weeks for it to be worked on, only to have additional problems?
Are the forthright fixing their problems?
Has anyone had any luck in obtaining a refund?
I have the dated invoice from the wholesaler (Bill Hicks)?
I believe it is a 2004 production run.
Another member just purchased an identical model and doesn't want to shoot until I find out about these issues.
Sorry if I'm asking something that has been asked before?
I don't know where to turn on this one..... they will not even provide postage for return shipping.
Thanks for any advice!
