Manual

22. Always wear protective shooting
glasses for eye protection. Do not hold
an autoloading pistol near your eye or
face as the slide will move back sharply
upon firing.
23. Always make sure that any firearm is
unloaded before cleaning, storing or
transporting. When handing the KAHR
Pistol to another person, be sure that the
slide is locked open with the magazine
removed.
24. Always keep clear and keep others
clear of the ejection port, as spent car-
tridges are ejected with enough force to
cause injury.
25. Never place fingers in the ejection
port; they could be injured by the slide
moving forward unintentionally.
26. Never place fingers on a hot slide
or barrel during or after firing, as they
could be burned by the hot metal.
With the Slide removed and the Barrel
dismantled, the Striker is drawn back
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 sys-
tem design of the KAHR pistols. You may
also notice that the spent case becomes
slightly deformed into the shape of a "D"
instead of an "O" shape. This is consid-
ered 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 nec-
essary to contact the service department.

Important Safety Information
metal follower pin in the Magazine
Follower for correct depth and tightness
of fit (on the
7-round extended grip Magazine, only).
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.
Replace any Magazine components as
needed.
Note: Magazines should always be han-
dled 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:
