Kahr P45 Point of Impact

[Rayco3]

I recently picked up one of these and put almost 200 rounds through it the other day without a flaw.  The only problem was that at 7 yards my shots were consistently grouping 6-8 inches below point of aim (and a little to the left, but not enough to be concerned with).  Anyone had similar results and if so, what did you do?  I was thinking of sending it to Kahr and having the V rear and dot front tritium sights installed, but didn't know if that would just make things worse.  Any thoughts would be helpful.  Thanks.

I would be concerned,  If it is off that much at seven yards, think where you shot placement will be a 25 yards.  In a SHTF situation that could make the difference in taking out a bad guy or hitting the child standing next to him.

In my opinion, it it won't hit point of aim, then you don't have an effective weapon for personal protection. :roll:

You didn't say what load you are using. If its a light bullet that can explain the low hits. Try several types of ammo and weights befre doing any thing rash. It may just be that particular ammo.   KN

I'd try a few different loads of factory self-defense ammo and see where it patterns. If you consistantly get groups that are that low, I'd be worried.

Had an automatic once (.40 EAA Witness) that shot 7 in. high, 6 in. right at 7.5 yards. Needless to say, you couldn't hit the target at 25 yards. Took it back to my dealer and traded it in (at a big $ loss) on a S&W 19. Now that's a fine shootin' gun!

Are you sure it's not you anticipating the shot and pulling low and to the left
give it to someone else and let them shoot it
or, slip a dunmy round in the middle of the mag and see what happens when you pull the trigger on the dummy round (without knowing which one it is)
