Success with my pm9

[drewski115]

I rented a PM9 prior to purchasing to see if I liked the way it shot....I loved it. Such a small pistol that shot so well. So I bought one.

First trip to the range I had ran about 100 rounds through the new pistol and had several issues, slide not locking back, nose dives and slide not going into battery. Took it home and found the sticky on this forum about how to prep a Kahr. Took it out for another 50 round and it ran sooooo much better but still had the nose dives. I was starting to get a little concerned about spending alot of money on a lemon then I found the sticky on the magazine prep. I eagerly followed the directions closely then unfortunately had to wait over a month before getting back to the range to see if it was going to run 100% or not.

Got to the range yesterday and it was pure joy. It ran perfectly just like the one I had rented. All the way home I had perma grin.

This members on this forum are awesome. Great information. Thanks to all.

Did you sand the follower just slightly changing the feed angle? That is what did it for me.

340PD: Yep I did that and followed JOCKO'S informative sticky.

JOCKO: I know but thankfully all I had to do was follow your instructions. Thanks again.

I did the mag fluff including shining the mag walls under the lips. Took it to the range and 300 rounds of mixed weight, power, brand and bullet shape later not one failure. I love the way this gun shoots +p
