Hi folks
I am a new member and have been lurking for a short while. A few months back I purchased a PM9 and have really enjoyed it and it has performed perfectly. When I saw the PM45, I knew I had to get one as I like the caliber in such a compact size.
My experience with the PM45 has been less positive. First, on the good side, I really like the pistol, it is comfortable, recoil is surprisingly light for such a small frame, and it is very accurate (more accurate than me! LOL!).
I have now shot about 500-600 rounds through it. During the break-in period it would occasionally fail to feed a round and occasionally fail to eject ("stovepipe") a spent case. Over the last 100-150 rounds, it has been failing to feed a round once every 5-10 rounds (1-2 magazines).
The failure will manifest as the slide going back an locking as if the magazine was empty, but there would be one or more rounds remaining in the magazine.
The other way the failure to feed would appear is with a live round jammed at an angle as if it were going up the feed ramp.
As you might imagine, this is very frustrating as when the pistol works...it's just grand!
I have sent Kahr service an email asking for their help.
Has anybody else had a similar experience and if so, any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help!
