I just got a call from Kahr (at 2/8/07 10:40AM, caller ID showed SAEILO 5086351440).
This call is from Dotti informing me that a previously promised prepaid shipping label (from Randy at Kahr) will not be honored because the pistol is not brand new, right after purchase! Personally, I have no problems with this because the issue here involves just a slide and barrel (i.e. not expensive or difficult to ship), but I'm amazed that they'll call back and change such a trivial arrangement (at my time and money expense of course, well not really my time/expense but long story).
This is very different than the Kahr I dealt with years ago. I think anybody who's considering a Kahr pistol should know that, from what Dotti told me on the phone, only new pistols gets free shipping back to Kahr.
Dotti was friendly, but I'll have to take Kahr's customer service quality and satisfaction level down a bit.

My experience with the Kahr PM9 is that it is susceptible to limp wristing because of their small size. I initially had many of the problems others have listed, but once I got used to it (and hold it firmly), I’ve not had any issues.
I’ve owned 2 PM9 (just sold one) and shot 3 more (1 extensively), and I have not had any problems/failures with any of them. I’ve run various ball and HP ammo without any problems. (Interestingly, 2 of the 3 PM9s I was asked to shoot by their owners because they were getting some failures… So hold it tighter and see if you still experience issues).
You probably already know this, but you can check:
1. You can test slide lock by manually cycling.
2. It will jam on the first round unless you slingshot it correct or use the slide release.
3. Test failure to battery by holding it pointing up and ride the slide close slowly. When it is about to close completely let it go. It should close completely on its own.
4. If you are getting problems w/ the 7rnd mag, try not to touch the pinky extension and see if you are still having issues.
Good luck. If you can make them work, they are very convenient to carry.
