Manual
Safety Rules:
1. Always handle any firearm as if it
were loaded to avoid unintended dis-
charges.
2. Never point any firearm at anything
you do not intend to shoot.
3. Never take anyone’s word that any
firearm is unloaded. Check for yourself,
with fingers off the trigger, and the
firearm pointed in a safe direction.
4. Always be sure barrel and action are
clear of obstructions. First remove the
magazine and unload the pistol, then
clear obstructions immediately so that
the firearm will function correctly and
safely.
5. Never squeeze the trigger or put your
finger in the trigger guard until you are
aiming at the target you intend to shoot.
CA
UTION: THE PISTOL WILL NOW FIRE
IF THE TRIGGER IS PULLED.
After the last round has been fired and
ejected, the Slide is held open by the
Slide Release Lever.
NOTE REGARDING SLIDE RELEASE
OPERATION: When the Slide is held
open on an empty Magazine, the Slide
Release Lever is very hard to depress.
This warns the shooter that the
Magazine is empty.
To easily release the Slide, either remove
the empty Magazine or replace it with a
loaded Magazine. Depressing the Slide
Release Lever will then be much easier.
Safety Devices
The KAHR Pistol has no conventional,
externally-located safety lever.
Therefore, the Trigger should only be
touched when you intend to discharge
the pistol.
STRIKER BLOCK:
In the pre-tensioned position, a spring-
loaded Striker Block projects into a
recess in the Striker, preventing it from
moving forward. The Striker Block is
only released when the Trigger is fully to
the rear.
SAFETY FUNCTION OF THE COCKING
CAM DESIGN AND POSITION:
The forward movement of the Striker is
blocked by the Cocking Cam. Due to the
design and positioning of the Cocking
Cam, there is no way for the Striker to
move forward past the Cocking Cam
under normal use unless the Trigger is
pulled.
Sights & Sight Adjustment
These consist of a Rear Sight which has
a white bar insert under the sighting
notch and a Front Sight which has a
white dot insert.
Windage adjustments are normally
made with the Rear Sight Only.
Both the Front and Rear Sights are held
in place by the tight fit of the Sight to the
dovetail. Windage (side to side) adjust-
ments are made by pressing the Rear
Sight in the direction that you want the
bullet placement to move. For example, if
the pistol groups to the left of your aim-
ing point, move the Rear Sight to the
right. This will move the bullet placement
to the right.
Note: Sight adjustments should be made
with a sight adjustment tool that is
designed to move the Sight without dam-
aging the Slide, dovetail cut or the Sight
itself. When pressing the Sights to make
an adjustment, use a non-marring mater-
ial against the Sight and the Slide to
avoid damage.
