I have a PM40, and I've always had trouble with hand/grip fatigue after 40-50 rounds from the recoil. This week I put an A-grip on it, and the difference is amazing. It essentially reduced the pressure your hand has to apply to the small grip in order to control the recoil. The gun is far more controllable and more enjoyable to shoot.
I would have fired another 100 rounds after the first 100 if my pistol hadn't shot itself loose. 1/8" play in the muzzle end of the slide up/down/sideways and 8 fail to return to complete battery in 100 rounds due to hang up on the slide. Pistol will be making its 2nd trip back to Kahr. So far, in 600-700 total rds fired since new, my PM40 has yet to shoot 50rds in a row without at least 2 malfunctions. To Kahr's credit the person I spoke with was very friendly and understood my frustration with the problems I've experienced.
I love the way the PM40 carries, and I love the way it shoots...when/if it cycles reliably. I can't say that I can recommend the PM40 due to reliability problems, but if yours works fine, give the A-grip a try, it's an outstanding product.
