Neat video!
The Glock 36 really strikes me as more of an afterthought into making a single-stack gun, while Kahr doesn’t make double-stack guns, and given that they now own makers of double-stack pistols like the Baby Eagle pistols, I doubt they ever will.
Still I was surprised to see he got his CW45 to run on 1911 mags. When I first got my PM45 I put a snap-cap into one of my Wilson Combat magazines and attempted to feed the gun. The magazine seated and ejected well, but the slide went right over the head of the round. This was what I expected as the feed-system for the Kahr is the more modern take where the barrel tilts in the gun at full slide extension allowing a straighter shot into the chamber. Looking at a Kahr 7-round magazine, and a 1911 7-round magazines the two mags are VERY similar until you get to the feed-lips, where the angle the top round is presented is much more extreme in the Kahr.
I may have to test this a little bit more.
Being a poor country boy who can’t afford a zillion magazines for differing weapons, I was pleased to discover the 16 round mags for my XD fit perfectly in my S&W 13 round magwell. However, they wouldn’t catch the mag keeper without a bit of Dremel work. Had to cut a small notch in the XD mags at the proper point. Now I have a dozen interchangeable magazines for two weapons. Twice the fun at half the cost and no headache of trying to remember which mags go with which gun. Can’t be beat.
Neither Glock nor Kahr shall ever seduce me from my P7.
How about shooting 100 rounds through either, and then holding the frame.
Never had a chance to shoot a P7, but I hear the gas operation makes that gun toasty after a few mags!
If it requires 100 rounds to save my butt, I might as well pick up a nice cool shovel and dig my own grave. Yes, the P7 gets warm, but my name is Ron, not Nancy.
Ok watching this video made me give the Kahr a once over again.
And I just noticed the SN starts with “YA” so I guess it was meant to be 😉
Yup, I use Chip McCormick 7 stainless rounders in mine with a 6,560,907 follower. Welded a little bump on the follower to hit the slide stop sooner. Works great, and you get 7 rounds to boot.
