Picked up a new PM9 today....LOVE IT!! I've shot it about 30 times in the backyard, not one hiccup! I did my routine 1911 break-in on this one, which is basically to strip it down, clean it, lube it and rack the slide about 500 times to loosen it up a bit.
Put some 115gr FMJ's through it, 124gr Starfires, 147 Golden Sabres and 147gr Ranger T's through it and it shot like a dream. I think it recoils less than my LCP!! Oh, and it has night sights!!! I'm really liking the trigger too!
Very happy with this purchase!
Here it is with my first ever shots through it

Welcome SD! Seeing the shot placement, are you by chance shooting left handed? Seems a lot of righties shoot low and left, so I just figured.... antway, good shooting for sure.

I bet ur dead right old lincoln, my groups look alot like that but certainly not near as tight of groupls but low right is sure an indication of a lefty..
Nice shootin', Tex!
Congrats on the PM9... outrageously nice carry item.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome.

Well I am right handed...BUT the target in the picture is actually turned on it's side. Basically it needs to be rotated right, so in reality I was shooting low and to the left. Those were my first shots and I was trying to get a feel for the trigger so I could group my shots better. Afterwards I practiced dry firing for a bit, you know to get used to the trigger break and afterwards my shots were more precise and not as far to the left. Thanks for the input though!

May I ask why you paid more for the PM9 when you could of bought a CM9 for much less? I love my PM9 and have my reasons for buying mine. What are yours?

Well I have nothing against the CM series whatsoever, but I wanted night sights for one. I know the CM series is less expensive and I may give one of those a try, maybe in .40 cal since I have a lot of .40 ammo. I'm all about saving money, but I guess you could say I just wanted a PM9.

Night sights aren't available on the CM9? I did not know that. I went with the PM9 because I wanted the thumb safety. And I also got the night sights on mine. My first Kahr I wanted to go big or stay home, so I opted for the PM9193N.

TRIGICON NIGHT SIGHTS shown on the kahr web site.. many just buy the set and install only the front sight, might take 15 minutes, a no brainer..
