Totally agree.I know it's not. Basically saying don't let them convince you to try and shoot it more. None of that should be happening, let alone all of it happening.

I really, REALLY like my Keltec P32. Over 1,000 rounds and never a mishap. I disassemble, and lube it monthly. No such thing as a stiff recoil spring on a .32! The Kahr CM9 spring is very stiff, though.This is NOT a bashing! (Bassat: Pun attended) lol
This is one reason I’m not a Kahr fan. I’m not a 6-7 shot pocket gun fan either. In my experience, yours may varry: The smaller the pistol, the more potential for problems. Stiffer recoil springs to absorb the recoil because of less slide mass….kinda stuff! I’m a “Compact" pistol kinda guy. I like full size pistols (G17/Sig P320 Full/M&P 1.0 Full) best but, the older I get, the less I tolerate the extra weight. Again, just me.
I hope this works out for you though.
I would start with a complete slide dismantle and cleaning. Use no oil on the striker. Needs to be completely dry. I’d also disassemble the mags, giving them a complete cleaning too. Compare the spring length in them as well.
Any rhyme or reason as to which round in the magazine where the issues arose? First one? Middle one? Second to last? Just curious.
No. The tab on the trigger is the drop safety.striker block is a drop safety, isn't it?
Biggest thing you could do to solve your issues is to realize that you are chasing a hardware solution to a software problem.Just wondering... Anyone think there is any chance that properly setting the slide stop tensioner will solve all my problems?
I disagree... at this point. There are way too many excellent reviews of this gun for it to be a design problem. I hope. We'll see. I've already spent the $399.99, the damage is done. May as well try to fix it.Biggest thing you could do to solve your issues is to realize that you are chasing a hardware solution to a software problem.
The software problem is in your head. The hardware is the DAO trigger. That's what I meant. Thousands of people safely pocket carry striker fired guns like the P365, Shield, Hellcat, Glock 43, etc. in pocket holsters that cover the trigger.I disagree... at this point.

I vehemently disagree that the DAO is the problem. DAO is an action type. Nothing more. Nothing less.The software problem is in your head. The hardware is the DAO trigger. That's what I meant.

If you are relying on hardware to keep you safe, you are doing it wrong. Safety is a constant mindset.
Your insistence that a pocket gun must be DAO is absurd. It’s the very reason you are going through what you are going through right now, because you’ve artificially limited your options to mostly crap (Kahr).I vehemently disagree that the DAO is the problem.

I couldn’t agree more. This fixation on the “safety of the DAO" means nothing if someone isn’t safe first between the ears. The fixation on needing something other than striker fired for pocket carry is silly. If you pocket carry without a holster, regardless of the type of action, your safety problem is….you.Your insistence that a pocket gun must be DAO is absurd. It’s the very reason you are going through what you are going through right now, because you’ve artificially limited your options to mostly crap (Kahr).
I look forward to reading your J Frame adventures in the near future.
If you can't reholster without snagging a shirt, regardless how many years you carried a 1911, you need to do your homework. Your clothing, carry method, and/or skillset need looked at.I vehemently disagree that the DAO is the problem. DAO is an action type. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Not that I want this, but just curious where this was?Saw this today in my travels and thought of this thread…

You get what you pay for. If this is what they have it listed for, imagine what they gave some poor sap for it in trade.
Range USA Greenwood. They had a used Arex Delta M that looked kind of interesting, I think it was $359 or so. They also have an M&P Compact 2.0 40 marked "Shield" on the tag, so there's that.Not that I want this, but just curious where this was?
See anything good there?
