Does anyone use a laser on their PM9 pr PM40?

I've used this Armalaser (http://www.armalaser.com/Products-Kahr.html) with my PM9 for over a year and love it. Once sighted in it's never varied, cuts down on printing and does not interfere with an already minimal grip. :)

I have the CT 437 on my PM9 and I love It! It is dead on an allow the old eyes to aquire the target much faster. Fits like a glove

The CT does not get in the way of the fingers on the grip?

That was my first concern when I saw the design of this laser but it really fits and functions well, I do not even notice it being there. The button to activate the laser is just part of the natural grip of the gun. If I could change anything at all, I would add a on/off switch so I could disable the laser when shooting and using the regular sights. But If it quit tomorrow I would be get it replaced ASAP as it is a great addition to a great little gun. :yo:

Cool. Thanks for the pic. I've been toying with the idea of putting one on my pm9. Maybe if I start being good now, I can get one for next Christmas!

I put a CT laser on my PM9, you do not even notice that its on there. DeSantis makes a pocket holster that accomodates the laser, works great. Best prices are found on e-bay for this laser.

+1 on the CT laser, well made and not as bulky - it does cost more than the other one, but worth it.

I have CT lasers on my PM9, my Glock, my M&P, and my Kel-Tec. Put another 200 rounds each through the PM9, P45, Glock & M&P with my son. The one thing my son said was the PM9 was the most accurate shooter for him. I have found the same results. My PM9 is awesome! :D

Found the CT LG-437 for $152 on www.getgear.us (http://www.getgear.us) . Have to purchase a daily membership to their club for $2.50 to order.

I just ordered one.

What distances are you all sighting it in for? How much variation is there? For example, if you sight it in at 10 yards, will it be ok for 15 yards or does it point high?

The best answer I can provide for your question is that I zeroed my PM9 and CT laser at 7 yards with a DPX 115gr round and according the ballistics info I can find on this round out of a 4" barrel a 3"' barrel is not listed so it will be off somewhat. At feet the round should be about 1/2 high at 15 yards it should be almost dead on target again at 25 yards and at 50 yards it still should only be about 1 inch high With the laser being mounted below the barrel by almost 2 inches the angle and drop rate of the round keeps it nice and flat out to 50 yards

no doubt the CT makes the PM9 a target gun. The accuracy with the Ct on the PM9 is outstanding over just sights.

None in stock. How much is shipping with them BTW? If anyone is interested in selling theirs let me know. I've got a bunch of holsters I can trade also since they probably won't work if I stick with the laser.

For those that have the LG 437, how often do you have to clean the lens while shooting?

I got a LG 437. I have not shot it yet. I installed it. The red dot was fine. I pulled the gun out of a nylon holster last night to play with the laser, and the dot was blurred and spread. I cleaned it with windex and fixed it. But I am concerned that the lens will be high maintenance. If the laser spreads from just being in a holster due to dust or lint..etc, I can only imagine what it will look like after shooting a few rounds and the powder getting on the lens.

How often do you have to clean the lens? It seems high maintenance.

I have the same LG 437 on my CW worth every penny it is a very quality piece and works like a charm. I recomend it to anyone who asks.

Personally....I'm not a big fan of lasers. After all these years I'm pretty good at point shooting even from odd positions, esp with night sights, on a usual and customary firearm as necessary, added bulk often screws up my holster arrangement, and don't care for the source traceability.

The laser comes with a tiny qtippy looking thing. I have had my laser on for 8 months and have cleaned it one time. I have not noticed it to be high maintanance. As a matter of fact I clean my gun a lot more often then my laser. I may just make cleaning it part of my gun cleaning routine.

I'd buy one if they had an off switch.

They do not have an off switch but you do not have to turn it on when you grab it. It has an on switch Don't touch it, it won't go on. I shoot mine every week without activating the laser so I can accustom myself to the sites as well.
