Let me get this straight.

You give $1000 for a gun, and the factory tells you to start buying replacement parts for it after shooting 6 boxes of ammo?

This is a very good incentive for someone to spend $700 for a Kahr that is only slightly larger and is just starting to get broken in at 300 rounds.

I will take replacing a $3 spring (which requires no addition effort over a regular cleaning) in a reliable performer which also happens to be the world's smallest and lightest 9mm carry pistol over the unreliable performance of Kahr's polymer pistols any day of the week.

Plus, if you actually talk to the people at Kahr they will also recommend replacing your recoil spring every 500 rounds to prevent excessive frame fatigue.

I looked at the Rohrbaugh before I bought my first Kahr, and elected to buy something with sights so I could shoot accurately out to 15 yards if I wanted. I bought a lot of ammo with the money I saved.

I've had three of them, all very accurate and dependable, and have yet to replace anything, after hundreds of rounds through each of them.

But I don't mean to demean your gun. I have no experience with Rohrbaugh, so I'm interested to see how your test comes out.

It just struck me as funny...but I'll admit to having a warped sense of humor.

Put another 100 rounds through it today. That brings the total to 350 rounds on this new spring. I am checking the springs resistance during each cleaning and so far here is no change in the strength of the spring. It is not showing any wear yet.

I did break down and buy a gel-padded shooting glove. This gun is not bad to shoot but after a bout 50 rounds or more these micro guns start to wear on you.
