Why are kahr magazines so much $. they are just single stack. Also what makes the promags nogood? Havent used one but am afraid to after all the bad gossip. Can u make them work with a little tweaking? I would like atleast two more mags preferably tha 8rds with finger ext. but cant fork out another $80.:eek:

What's wrong with the Pro Mags? I was thinking about going that route, since the Kahr ones get such a bad wrap... I've had Pro Mags for some of my other pistols and they worked fine.

I dunno . . . I bought two and they look nice, but neither one will work in either of my PM40s. I did a little polishing, made sure the springs were in what appears to be the correct direction. No luck. Won't feed more than the top round.

By contrast, I have applied Greg's mod to all of my followers and all of my magazines, short and long work great with the two types of ammo I currently use. :)

Edited to add: My two seven round, .40 cal ProMags were purchased some time ago, before Greg published his follower modification tips. After just now applying a cautious version of his mod (the follower tops seem thinner than Kahr's) to one of the mags, it will now feed all seven rounds while hand racking! I'm guessing it will be fine for range use. :)
