Some reliability or other issues. Test fire a lot. 5 12.82%

Sounds about right for the cross section of opinion here.

Once I broke in my PM9, I have had almost no problems at all. I use good quality ammo, and stay away from light loads, like 115g bullets. I use 124g bullets for practice and carry.

I'll vote when I get mine back from Kahr. Right now, would not be a good time for me to cast an opinion..

Got my PM9 used. I call it the JPM9.... J being for the Jocko preferred .125" shorter model.

Eats everything I've put into the magazine... works (for me) with any six round or the one seven round mag I own.

My only complaint about any of the PM's I've got is that @#$@# knife edge cut they leave on the ejection port. A few minutes of work fixes it.... but... you'd think they'd give it a quick swipe at the factory to take the edge off. A pittance of a trivial complaint really...hardly eliciting thoughts of deal breaking condemnation.

I can't help but wonder how many in these type of "polls" have real world experience with them, or are they just going on second hand information? You know, "I heard they suck because my friends brother had one that blah, blah, blah".

I'm sure that happens, but, there's some of that static in each voting category. We are left with 82% clearly giving a positive rating.

Which is precisely why I bought one last week.

And you know a lot of people who have no problems with the PM9 wont respond I would think. My CM9 (economy version of the PM9) has 650+ no problem rounds with everything I have shot.

Well..., I have had zero problems with my PM9 right from the beginning. I did not cast a vote

Same here, but since that's been the story for all my Kahrs [and just about all my pistols], it's not remarkable. Satisfied owners of any product are like Nixon's "silent Majority".
