Well, I decided to not give up on this pistol. After talking to a local gunsmith it was decided that the barrel was over polished and out of spec. I didn't really want to spend the money for a new barrel, but I did. Kahr had a 4" ported barrel for 129 so I ordered it and a new spring. I got the barrel yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine so we went to the range. I put a little over 100 rounds and not a single glitch with this gun. I think I'm going to like having this as a carry piece.

Thanks for all the input. I have tried just about everything list above except firing the pistol since the slide sticks. I guess it will get sent in for repairs. Just kind of defeats a $300 dollar gun if you have to spend a couple hundred in repairs and shipping. I could have just bought a new one for $50 more. Live and learn I guess. Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated.

In most cases buying a new pistol is a happy time, even if it is slightly used. I am not happy right now. I picked up a CW40 at the gun show this past weekend for a pretty decent price. I decide tonight I would run some function tests before a trip to the range this weekend. It wont cycle at all. Every time I rack the slide to chamber a round it won't go into to full battery. I had to use a dowel to tap the bullet back out just to get the slide to move again. I read a full articles and thought maybe the type of ammo is getting stuck like they suggested. Well, three different brands of ammo and still they same issue. I was wondering if anyone has ever had the same problem and what was the remedy( short of buying a new barrel) to see if it was machined wrong or something. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
