-1 Kahr

[sj kahr k40]

My Kahr pistol is rusting and Kahr does not stand behind their finish, I can have it refinished for $200, thanks a lot Kahr

WOW! to them! what does a new GUN cost?

I'd be quick to change my Sign in name if I were you!

 

[LLDJR]

Which model

 

[PatriotPride]

Wow! I was considering buying a 9mm Kahr for the woman. Guess I'll have to reconsider.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Yep...interested in knowing which model and what kind of finish is on it presently.

Also how it's stored and/or holstered...

K4044 stainless blackened, stored in a gun vault and carried in a Supertuck or a leather holster, I cleaned it with Gun Scrubber and used Remoil on it just like I have done a dozen times before

I've asked to change it many times, maybe after this they will

 

[Jerry]

What did they say when you inquired?
Did they try to make it as if it was your?

I know it's no remedy to Kahr, but have you tried oil and fine steel wool? It should take off light rust without killing the finish. I have done this with many guns of mine, and it helps quite a bit, seems to help keep any new rust away too.

Yeah -1 SJKahr'sK40....


Oh wait..... hehe.... Sounds like a good time to invest in a Custom Duracoat Job to me.

Stainless rusting? What part of the pistol is actually rusting. Want to know because I carry a PM9 with me virtually everywhere.

Stainless steel isn't "rust proof"... It just "stains less". Given right conditions, stainless steel will rust.

Also, not all stainless steels are equal.

Didn't there used to be a guy around here that did coating? I thought he got married and I've not hear his name mentioned after that. Anyway, you can get it refinished and still have a great gun.

Although I'm sure you have taken care of yours, it's hard for a company to know who has or hasn't properly stored or carried their guns. How long have you had it and does any company stand behind the finish for the lifetime of the gun?

Send it out to springer precision for some ion bond DLC otherwise known as black diamond.

The whole thing has rusted, frame, slide, barrel, and even the mag that was inside it is rusty, not a problem now, I broke the back plate trying to get the slide off, might be fixable, I'm to pissed right now to think about it.

Thats very weird....my pm9 gets carried almost every day as a backup, in the rain, snow, whatever with no problems......

How old is the gun, I know for awhile Kahr was using black t for a finish, Ive seen a couple of them slightly rusted....but the finish was really worn. They could have been using a different steel back then also. Kahr is a good gun man I wouldnt give up on it yet...

Thanks js kahr k40 for the response. It is hard to imagine that in this day and age a company can't control some of their processes any you wind up with a pile of rust instead of a fine firearm.

I also can't believe they don't stand behind it because it seems like they didn't finish it correctly.

As stated by others above, check around this site because there are members who would probably do a nice job refinishing it for you. Then sent the bill to Kahr. Even if they throw it out, at least you will have gotten your point across.

Good luck!

I don't want to spend another dime on this one, if only I didn't clean it it would be gone
