Manual

27. Only use high-quality commercially
manufactured ammunition, in excellent
condition and in the correct caliber for
your pistol.
The use of reloaded ammunition will void
the Warranty because reloads or poor
quality ammunition may not meet indus-
try specifications (SAAMI and/or NATO),
may exceed pressure limits and could be
unsafe.
28. Do not shoot the KAHR Pistol near
any part of your body as the slide will
move back sharply upon firing.
29. Always unload the firearm immedi-
ately after firing.
30. Do not allow anyone to handle or
attempt firing the KAHR Pistol until they
have read this manual.
Important Safety Information

manually about 1/4 inch and then eased
forward again. The tip of the Striker
must not project beyond the breech face
of the Slide.
Note: When easing the Striker forward, be
careful not to depress the Striker Block
which sits next to the Striker.
If it is depressed during the safety check,
it will allow the Striker to project beyond
the breech face.
Note Regarding Primer Indent and
Distorted Spent Cases
Upon examining fired cases,
you may notice that the primer
indent appears distorted or
elongated. This is normal for
the striker system design of the KAHR pis-
tols. You may also notice that the spent
case becomes slightly deformed into the
shape of a "D" instead of an "O" shape.
This is considered normal for the KAHR
pistol and is caused by the spent case
touching the bottom of the ejection port
when exiting the gun. Neither of these two
situations are a cause for concern and it
is not necessary to contact the service
department.
and cracks. Check the metal follower
pin in the Magazine Follower for correct
depth and tightness of fit (see photo
#7). Ensure that the Magazine Follower
moves freely inside the Magazine Tube.
Replace components as required.
Check the Magazine feed lips for distor-
tion, burrs or nicks, and especially for
smoothness at the magazine catch slot.
Note: Magazines should always be
handled with care. If a Magazine
becomes damaged as a result of being
dropped on a hard surface, it should be
replaced. Do not attempt to repair it.
Reassembly
After cleaning, inspection and lubrica-
tion, reassemble the Magazine in
reverse order from disassembly, again
using a pin or wire through the lowest
sight holes to contain the Magazine
Spring for ease of fitting the Magazine
Base Lock and Magazine Base.
Ensure the empty, reassembled
Magazine seats fully when inserted in
the pistol, and ejects freely from its well
when the Magazine Catch is
depressed.
Correct Wrong!
Checking Safety Devices
The following safety check is to be car-
ried out at regular intervals and before
the pistol is used:
With the Slide removed and the Barrel
dismantled, the Striker is drawn back
