Fellas, I'm getting light primer strikes and failures to fire with a Kahr P45 using WLP primers. Can anyone direct me to a "softer, easier to ignite" LP primer? Tony

Tony, try Federal 150's. Hopefully, they did not change the hardness in the latest lot(s). Try one box first, then buy the same lot number if it works fine. ... felix

Thanks, I'll give the Federals a try. I have Federal LP Magnum on hand but have never used their regular LP. Tony

The Federal 150's are probably a good suggestion if you leave the gun as is, but if it were me, I'd get a stronger spring for the gun. That way, you'd KNOW the gun was going to fire if and when you HAD to have it go "boom." Shouldn't be expensive at all, so why not?
