Ok. I took my new-to-me PM9 Black to the range for the first time today. All I can say is AWESOME!!! This little beauty ate about 150 rounds of everything I fed it without issue....cheap police practice ammo, American Eagle FMJ, Wolf FMJ, UMC FMJ, and even some Black Talons. Right out of the chute I had 5 out of 7 on the 9 inch plate at about 15 yards.

I did take the time to prep and lube it per the instructions in Kahr Tech. Great write-ups. My guess is the previous owner didn't prep it properly, got unsatisfactory results, and dumped it. His loss = my gain on this one.

I had shot my buddy's LCP just prior to purchasing the Kahr. I like my PM9 better than I did his LCP.

I've already purchased a Desantis Nemesis. Now I'll be looking for an ankle rig, IWB, Pearce grip extension, and probably a couple more mags. Anybody know of a good speed loader for the PM9?

Thanks for all of the help I've found on this forum.

Most definitely!
If he had only spent time at KahrTalk!
Glad it worked out for you at the range!

Just guessin, my bet most kahrs are peddled because the owner couldn't get the hang of the looooong but soooooo smooth trigger, over any malfunctioning issue. \Just sayin

Good. Now do yourself a favor and buy another Nemesis. Why? I spent the kids inheritance trying to find comfortable IWB's for my CCW's. My sister-in-law kidded me about joining her husband in the "Holster of the Month Club". Somebody on one of the gun Forums posted an idea for a really comfortable IWB made out of a Nemesis pocket holster. It was years ago and I forgot who it was, so I can't give proper credit for it. He just bought and installed an IWB holster clip on the Nemesis.



I like to carry ‘crossdraw’, so that’s the way I rigged it, but the originator had his set up for strong-side carry. I have one for each of my CCW’s although two holsters handle all four of my CCW’s; one for the semi-autos and one for the J-frame style resolvers. I occasionally have to check to see if I’m carrying because it’s so comfortable you don’t notice you have it on … except maybe for the 1911.

It’s great for sitting, driving or while on your hind legs, too. FWIW. I've got pictures and instructions, if anyone is interested in them, since I can't seem to figure out how to insert them here. You can PM your email address to me and I'll send them to you.
