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.

Cleaning & Lubrication
Before the initial shooting of the new
KAHR Pistol, the pistol should be
disassembled following the instruc-
tions in this manual and cleaned
with a commercial gun cleaning sol-
vent. After each shooting session,
the cleaning process should be
repeated to remove firing residue
from the inside and outside of the
Barrel, Slide, Frame and Magazine.
Once cleaned, all parts should be
lightly lubricated with a commercial
gun lubricant. Follow solvent and
lubricant manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
The handgun should be kept clean
and properly lubricated at all times.
Lubricants can evaporate over time.
Therefore, lightly lubricate the hand-
gun once a month whether or not it
has been fired. Be sure your hand-
gun is FULLY UNLOADED
(Magazine removed and chamber
empty) before performing any clean-
ing or maintenance.
Note Regarding Lead Bullets:
Lead (unjacketed) bullets can cause
excessive bore fouling. Extra atten-
tion to cleaning the bore is recom-
mended after firing lead bullets.
Notes on Reliability
If this firearm is to be used in lawful
self-defense, the user must under-
stand that overall reliability is based
upon the interaction of four factors:
handgun, magazine, ammunition
and user.
A handgun is only a mechanical
device. It can fail to function proper-
ly despite the use of the finest mate-
rials and the greatest possible care
in its design and manufacture. To
ensure the highest level of reliability,
we suggest that you adhere to the
following guidelines:
1. Obtain the guidance of a quali-
fied or accredited firearms instructor
before using the handgun.
2. Use only the highest quality facto-
ry ammunition. Avoid reloads, sur-
plus and budget priced ammunition
as well as any ammunition
designed by its manufacturer for use
in carbines or other shoulder-fired
firearms. At times, a particular
model of handgun will not reliably
function with a specific brand or
loading of ammunition. Selected
ammunition should be test fired (100
rounds minimum) to ensure reliabili-
ty. Also, ammunition manufacturers
can make changes to their ammuni-
