Vise trick did not work. Still have to pull mag out. I have no clue! 7 rnd drops with out a hitch. I don't remember this happening until about the 200 rnd break in. During break in not a single malfunction. The slide just doesn't fall.
. My PM9 has over 40,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

I found that because of the steep angle the rnds. need to be at, to feed, the lips will spread open after a time
I made a mag lip adjusting tool out of square 1/4" aluminum that grips the lips without scratching them.
I used a dremel cut off wheel to cut the slots. A fine tooth hacksaw blade will work also.
Then:
For safety sake completely strip the slide
I take the recoil spring out of the gun so that I can manually move the slide forward.
Then I load the mag with my carry ammo, insert it and slowly work the slide to see where the rounds hit the feed ramp
I adjust the feed lips to where I think they need to be for that type of ammo.
Here's the pics. But ! The rounds can still sip out. The mag pouch I use is a Don Hume. The rounded bottom one worked great to keep the rounds in place. Then they changed the design to a square bottom. What I did with that one is wet it and then form it to a round bottom.
I hope this helps
Any chance a moderator will sticky this? Great PM/CM 9 info.
Looks like we're packing 147 HST.
Difference of 100 fps from the pm9 between the fed and win. Any speculation why?
I fired 3 rnds. for each test. The velocity deviation between between the Win. stuff. big. But that doesn't matter to me.
It's follow up shots recovery, penetration then expansion. in that order that matter to us
The wife was the test subject to find what was the mildest felt recoil for follow up shots. She fired lots of double taps. We carry the 147 HST in our K9s and in her Glock 17. And we carry the Win 147 RA9T in our PM9s. They had the most control for follow up shots.
We tried lots of ammo brands I had lots pics, but they're locked in Photo Bucket. Here's some. We also tested Speer Gold Dot, Remington Golden Saber, Win. Bonded and others.
This is what works for us
