    Default had a kahr sight break on me today

    was really strange. I have only shot a few hundred rounds through it. I took it out of the holster today and set it on the bench (shooting at classic pistol) and the front sight broke. it was rotated 45 degrees to the left. seems the plastic pin broke.

    I guess i'm going to have to send the slide back to kahr?

    hmm...maybe it really IS time to pick up that glock or walther.. :/

    Thats usually a sign from the shooting gods that it is now time to upgrade to a set of steel night sights.

    What model is it, CM9?

    could have been damaged during installation, it happens, doesnt meansa Glock or Walther will be better, i own them too, it can happen to any mass produced item.

    Kahr has one of the best Customer service in the Gun business, they will take care of you,sometimes they will even send you a free mag for all your troubles contact them asap.

    Good luck.

    Yeah the cm 9 has plastic sights. I've even heard they melt on guys who were breaking the gun in.

    it's a CW9.

    I can't upgrade the sights on this model, it's one of the 'cost saving features'


    im going to call Kahr tomorrow and see what happens. I never sent in that warranty registration, so we'll see.

    I'd like to send it in and have them fix it all, but I was already thinking about selling it. It doesn't fit my hand as nicely as my roommate's PPS, but that's another thread entirely

    Order a night sight from Kahr. It replaces your sight and uses a screw to install.

    When the CW9 first came out there were no other sites for it, however Kahr does now make a night sight kit for them.

    They will, no charge other than your cost to ship it to them, I had a trigger bar break on my CW9, but I had thousands of rounds through it, they fixed it no problem. They didn't have the night sights then, if they had I'd have gotten them to put them on.
