If anyone has any further definitive info to pass along on this issue, please PM me so that I can keep the straighest info available. The main purpose of the thread being to track age & service info, non-sequential SN's are a curiosity only, as long as the age/status of the gun can be established with whatever SN it carries. Bottom line is that the case-collection date is still the best "born-on" date if the gun was pulled back for a quality check/repair before hitting the street that's great.
It is certain to be sold "out of sequence." Great procedure for us (the production checks), bad for applying logic to SN sequences. The other is that, as Kahr runs a monthly quantity with a SN group being applied to one model or another, there could be a situation where a gun or guns don't pass one of their "audit gates" and are held back as a production repair. The case-collection date is the best indicator. This would cause a gun to come into the public domain seemingly out of sequence. The first is the obvious situation where dealers sometimes don't rotate their guns (or orders) on a FIFO basis, for a variety of reasons. The first 4 are needed because production can be split within less than a thousand from month to month.įollowing my query to Dottie Herold at Kahr, she advises there can be several reasons why SN's may sometimes be out of sequence. When posting, please post in the following format as it will simply save the amount of time I spend in cutting, pasting & collating, leaving more time for shooting: ^cġst 4 characters of SN – Model – born-on date (or “date unknown”). If you don’t know the born-on date, please say “date unknown” – if someone comes along later who does know it, then I’ll update that SN’s information. It is extremely valuable if you know or can use the date on the case-collection envelope, often called the “born-on” date. Less for you to scroll through in determing whether a given SN-range has been posted or not. As I’m able to update the overall listing from individual posts, Patricia will assist me in removing them.
I’m going to attempt to keep this a bit cleaner than the Gen’l Glocking project (hats off to that 10mm guy, ‘cause that’s a handful). Following this, users can post their individual Kahr SN’s. I’m going to start this with 3 posts, the first for Kahr model information and any SN-related bulletins, the other two for 9mm and 40 S&W serial numbers respectively. Patricia has graciously acceded to place a sticky on this thread so that Kahr owners (and prospective owners) will have a place to check serial number history and any product service information (such as the limited July 2004 PM9 barrel recall/refinish).
