OT Kahr Kaboom with Houston Cartridge Company

Post by piller »

Today I was at the range and was shooting a Kahr CW9. It was shooting fine until we used some Houston Cartridge Company ammunition. About 3 rounds into the stuff, we had a Kaboom. The case was ruptured and the pistol will have to go back to Kahr for repairs. No one was hurt, but we were certainly shocked. Has anyone else had problems with either Kahr guns or the Houston Cartridge Company ammunition?

I am only familiar with the Glock kabooms.

Is the case head completely supported while in the chamber? If not and a HOT load is discharged.... Glad you are well. 1886.
