    Check post #77 this is for a CW45 but the same exact issues plague the CW9: http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.p...745#post354745
    I second this. I've never gotten the Kahr's I've owned to stop and just gave up on them. I posted the trouble I was having and got a number of replies and suggestions but nothing worked. CW45's, K-9, MK-9 etc..All the same.

    I have used a dab of J-B Paste on paper patched boolits to smooth out a couple of "rough" barrels, Mosin-Nagants to be specific. It worked OK. The barrel got VERY hot after 5 rounds...
