I went with a couple of guys to the US Shooting Academy. http://www.usshootingacademy.com/index.html
My freaking Kahr K9 9mm broke another striker!!!! Last time I shot it, three or four months ago, it was fine. I dry fired it 15 times last night getting ready, and I guess that's what did it. The tip of the pin broke off and lodged in the front of the channel, such that I couldn't move the striker all the way forward. After fiddling with it a bit, the tip must've shifted places, because I was able to run the striker all the way forward by hand, but the firing pin didn't protrude through the breech face.
I have two spare strikers. This tip breaking is new to me. I've had three of them fracture on the top edge, but it's never seemed to affect function. Of the two spares I have, one is clearly fractured, but I think it works ok. The other one is nearly new, and I can't remember the history of it. Either it caused the gun to jam, or it came out of the poly Kahr I used to have, and I put the jamming striker in it and sold it. Either way, I'm shelving the Kahr until I get yet another striker from Kahr, and some springs too.
