Gunsmith Woes
Talk about problems with gunsmiths...
I purchased a new Kahr MK9 about 3 months ago. At the time of the purchase I elected to have night sites installed, which the dealer informed me could be put on by his smith. Well, I had my wife pick up the gun a few days later. When I inspected it, both the front and rear sight "channels" were gouged out to fit the new sights. The work was so sloppy you would think the smith would be embarassed to present it. On top of that I touched (literally touched) the front site and it fell off. I could not believe the gun had been returned to me in that manner. Of course I brought it back to the shop, and do you know what the gunsmith told me. "Well, those sights weren't really made to fit that gun." I won't even comment on what ran through my head when I heard that.
So the pistol was sent back and I acquired a new pistol with night sights from my dealers "supplier." When I got this pistol home I found that the slide wasn't working properly, it would hang open after each shot (I blame Kahr for this one), and once again the front site fell off (I blame the smith for this one)!! I thought by then that just maybe I wasn't supposed to own this gun, at least with night sights!
Since then the gun has been sent to Kahr, and I'm starting to lose my patience. They have made no response in about 6 weeks, seems like long enough. I really like the pistol, but if it doesn't go well this time I might just have to give up!!
Happy holidays all!
