I own two models, MK9 and K40 - the latter just obtained in the last one month. Both firearms have had the screws in the grips loosen and I have had a screw fall out while shooting, which is not a good thing!! The tech. folks at Kahr have recommended Loctite (blue). anybody have a similiar problem and if so what was your solution? Dennis |

Hmmm, first I've heard of that. I shoot my K9 a lot and with +P and +P+ loads and haven't had the screws loosen so far, although I do remove and replace the grips with each cleaning, so maybe I'm putting a screw driver to mine more often, don't know. Are you using the hogue rubber grips or wood replacements? A couple of solutions, besides loctite blue to consider. Simple clear nail polish on the threads or replace with a set of hex head SS screws, I think they're available from Brownell's. Have you mic'd or used a screw thread and pitch guide to check yours? How about on the threaded holes of the grip frame? Edited to add - A check of the Kahr catalog shows replacement grip screws to $1.00 each, for a price comparison. |
