I just got a new PM 9 Blk slide. Took it to our range today.

Blazer Al 50 rnds 100%
Blazer Br 50 rnds 100%
Rem 50 rnds 100%
Mag of Fed EFMJ carry ammo 100%

IMO it is ready to carry.

"She`s Real Fine My PM9". Are any of you old enough to recognize the song that line was stolen from?

I wanted one, but ended up with a 406 Ford instead.

seems in the past year or so that kahrs are running absolutely super. but we will continue to keep reading of the ill faults of kahrs that happened 3 to 5 years ago.:confused::confused:

My PM9 has been very impressive! It hits the central target area very well, even at 20 yards. I put a Crimson Trace on it, but have yet to test performance with the laser. I will keep all posted how I do!! ;)

I've had a PM9 for several years, it's my regular carry gun (90 percent pocket carry since it's hotter than the hinges of hell here and all I wear most days is cargo shorts and a tank top). I've got probably 1,000 rounds through it, never had a failure of any kind, it's a wonderful weapon and perfect for everyday carry ... if you have one, you know what I'm talking about .. if you just got one, welcome to a great club!

I placed my order today for a new PM 9 with Black Slide. I am told I should have it mid October. I am like a little kid, I can hardly wait! This will not be my first Kahr as I have owned a K9 and MK9 in the past. These were both really nice shooting guns albeit much to heavy. I hope that the PM 9 and it's lightweight frame perform as well. Are many Kahr owners reporting problems with these pistols? I am new to this forum and this is my first post.

I was like you.!! LOL!..... itching for a PM9....I finally found one and it has been flawless right out of the box 330 rounds so far by three different shooters with NO problems, I can't wait to shoot it this weekend... the PM9 is a very nice pistol and I think worth the price!!:)

Tony--

I have not had any problems with mine. I got it in June, and have 375 rounds through it. Mine seems to be a little sensitive to Federal 115 grain fmj and Speer Gold Dots 124 grain hollow points. I have had a ftf with each--only 2 ftf out of 375 rds. These ftf occured after the first 200 rounds. I have had 0 problems with these:

Bronze PMC 115 fmj
Remington 115 fmj
Winchester 147 hollow points

Bought my used PM9 last October from a local gun store. Can't say enough good about it. 1900 rounds of mostly Winchester white box 115 FMJ and not the first failure. I run a hundred rounds at a time through her and besides the operator error its great. No clue how many rounds before I bought it but I don't think it was too many. Couldn't be happier.

Seem like you are ready to go. The firearm has proven reliable with over 150+ rounds with no glitches. I had only one failure to lock back after the mag was emptied. That was after 95 rounds of Winchester Whitebox. I never had any similar problem or any other failure and I have well over 450 rounds shot. My one failure may have been due to a weak Winchester load. One suggestion. Field strip, clean and reassemble the PM9 and take it out again. With another 50-100 rounds through the weapon you should rest assured that the firearm is fine and that you actually can reassemble the slide lock/release properly.

Great to hear that your PM9s are functioning well. I've yet to receive mine and I am really lusting for it. In addition to the PM9 i've an order for a P9 and P45. I know it seems like I am losing my mind but indeed the fact is that I am swapping out a Glock G19 and Colt Defender. I think with these new Kahrs bring CCW firearms into the 21st Century where as as fine as the Colt and Glock are considered good weapons of course but time I believe is passing them by. Speaking of time I wish my new guns would arrive!

1244 rounds through my PM9 and not a single malfunction.

You're not losing your mind. I have the same issue. I view my PM9 as the 442/J-frame of today. And the guns are only a part of the cost...break-in/practice ammo and new leather. Expensive but necessary.

I totally agree. It is mandatory and the benefits of the new arms exceed by a long shot the capabilities of yesterdays guns.

With the possible exception of the skinny lady. She's pretty but I prefer some shape.
But I like my skinny Kahrs cause they go sooooo good in my pocket
I let my work buddy shoot my pm9 and mk40 and now he has a pm 40 and I haven't been able to shoot it yet.(:: But he said it has quite a kick I knew that, that's why I went to so much trouble to find the steel frame .40
