I have had two PM9s. I guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time. I know some extort its virtues and they certainly seem like the ideal pocket rockets, but that was not MY experience. I got rid of both of mine as quickly as I could and will never trust my life to a Kahr PM pistol again. I know some people have had good results with the larger Kahrs.

After the appropriate break-in period, I experienced significant problems when I put them through their paces - problems with feeding, extracting, mags, cuts from slide stop, finicky ammo selection, etc. I always alternate my carry pistols in IDPA matches and similar exercises to determine how they handle under more than normal situations. Kahr PMs look great, come in desired calibers, and become almost invissible in most pokets, but ... that is NOT the main criteria for my carry firearm. Discussions with other Kahr owners confirmed I was not alone and discussions about dismal factory service convinced me it is not the firearm for ME.

I've handled most makes of firearms and have carried, taught, and competed with many for over 40 years, so I have a fair base of experience.

YMMV, but I will never own a Kahr PM psitol again.
