I've been getting some emails with questions about the KAHR going boom, and realized I needed to clarify some information.
The same reloads that I was using in the KAHR are what I put through the 1911 yesterday without a hiccup (Not to mention a good tight group)
When I said that 1 or 2 out of every five was having problems, I was referring to failure to fire, it would strike the primer but it wouldn't hit hard enough to actually fire the round, and I had the same problem firing factory ammo as well. When the gun blew up, it was the end of a very long struggle to find ammo that it would shoot well.
My husband and I had both taken it apart, cleaned it, and tried to determine what was going on just the day before this happened.
I was very disappointed about this gun blowing up, I really like shooting a .45 vs 9mm, and I was glad I had already decided to get a 1911.
Part of the problem is that when we got this gun for personal defense and home defense, we had no intention of using it as a target gun. As time went on, I learned that I love to shoot and we started reloading for them. Neither the SCCY or the KAHR are designed to be target guns or shot a lot with, and that is one reason I decided to get a 1911 was for it's durability on the range, but I truly wish I still had the KAHR. If anyone is interested in the spare parts, just let me know, I'm sure I can work something out.
I hope this clarifies some of the information
