Going to the Range Tomorrow...

My friend wasn't having such a good day. His Berreta in .40 S&W kept failing to feed,so he switched to his Kahr PM9 which broke after about 3 magazines of ammo. He was just using standard 9mm ball ammo when the recoil spring guide broke. It looks as though it was getting ready to go for quite some time and just let loose that day. This is not good as this is his main carry piece and he was really bummed, BUT... better it happened at the range and not in a situation where his life was on the line.

If any of you own one of these, I'd inspect that guide rod with a magnifying glass and look for stress cracks. It appears they made these out of stamped steel.
