There have been many anecdotal reports of for instance, the 6-rd PM9 magazines as relatively trouble-free, but if one has a feeding or other problem, it seems to occur almost without exception with the extended 7-rd magazines.
And the problem appears to be universal throughout the lines and calibers of Kahr.
What the heck is going on?
In the meantime, I've done the magazine test and magazine fix pursuant to the 'Proper Prep of a Kahr' Sticky...I had but one FTfeed out of 257 rounds fired about equally between two 6-rd and one 7-rd magazines in two range sessions. That FTfeed occurred with the 7-rd magazine with round #51 of the 150 rounds shot at that first range session. Since that initial range session have not had a problem after further sanding the follower a bit and as gun further breaks in.
What is the general concensus as to cause? Is there more than one cause? It really makes little sense as the 7-rd magazines do not seem to differ design-wise in any material respect from the 6-rd magazines.
What say you?
I know this is not an issue of first impression but keeping on topic here might be beneficial to all those interested in this occurrence and might consolidate some of the comments made elsewhere.
Does it persist for YOU well after break-in? If so, do you find yourself avoiding the use of those magazines?
This little 'mystery' has persisted throughout the years. It needs to be 'solved' once and for all. Not only Kahr customers are affected, those who are considering a Kahr may be sufficiently turned off from purchasing a Kahr firearm.
An example (sort of a 'turn-on' if you get my drift, with a corresponding 'turn-off' re Kahr pistols) follows. Range test is at 7:20:
