Manual

13. Never use a firearm that fails to func-
tion properly and never force a jammed
action, as the jammed round may dis-
charge.
14. Always transport the KAHR Pistol
unloaded with the trigger untensioned
(See page 9) in a locked case.
15. Failure to fire:
Keep the firearm pointed toward the tar-
get and wait 30 seconds after it fails to
fire. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has
occurred, the round should fire within 30
seconds. If it does not fire, remove the
magazine, eject the round and check for
an obstruction. Then, examine the
primer. If the firing pin indent on the
primer is light or nonexistent, have the
firearm examined by a competent gun-
