Well after going through two Kahr CW-45's, I traded it in for a Springfield XD-9. My first kahr misfired many rounds and the slide was stuck shut with a misfired round in the chamber. I could not pull the slide back, so I took it back to the gunshop and they gave me a new one. I was shooting 230gr fmj though it, and only got through 50 rounds before it screwed up.
When I got the new one the guys at the gun shop told me to clean it really well before I shot it and use lighter bullets for the first several shots. Well on Sunday my dad and I went to our cabin to shoot. The only lighter bullets I could find were personal defense rounds, that were 185gr jhp's that were $29 for a box of 20. I bought two boxes and shot them through, having many misfires, and having the slide stick shut once again. On the misfires the the striker was not hitting the primer, rather the inner rim of the case. I continued firing another 100 rounds of 230gr fmj through it, it continued to misfire and the slide was also sticking fully to the rear and I could not push it forward. I had to whack the butt of the slide on the wooden railing of the deck at my cabin to get it forward. Another problem I was having was while the slide was locked back, and I would put a clip in, it would close the slide automatically, chambering a round. This was really pissing me off, as well as my dad, as it was my Christmas gift from him.
We shot the same amount of rounds through my dad's XD-M and his Bersa .380, and P90 .45 and had absolutely no problems. After two brand new guns and over $120 ammo for it, I said the hell with it and took it back and traded it in and got a new XD-9. I got the two tone and plan to shoot it Saturday after the last day of flintlock season. The Kahr came with one clip while the XD came with two clips, a holster, daul clip holder, and a clip loader. Springfield also has an offer that gives you two clips and a clip holder for free when you buy a new xd or xd-m. So for $100 more I get 4 clips and a bunch of other junk, and a reliable gun
I am pretty positive that I will be very happy with this gun, as my dad's xd shot extremely well, and I will not be paying out the nose for .45. I will wait till I get a 1911 to do that :lol:
I really gotta say that I am extremely impressed with the customer service from this gunshop. The owner and other associates and very knowledgable and kind. The shop offers a lifetime warranty on all new guns purchased. They gave me a brand new gun, no questions asked, then traded in my other malfunctioning gun for a completely different gun, with no hassles. They are great guys.

Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent a little, as it was really pissing me off. It turned out well though.
