Who has tried the 40sw mags in there 9mm kahr. After buying a tp40 I tried them loaded with 9mm in my cm and cw9. 9mm bullets set an average of only2 to 3ths higher but make a big difference in how they cycle when racking the slide slowly.

None of the kahr mags measure the same . Small 1 to 3 ths diffeence between the 9mm mags and the 40sw mags but the 40 mag are a few ths wider and .018ths longer. Even the opening at the top is a few ths wider but they work well. Just so tigh in my 9mm that they would never fall out on there own.

So who else has tried this.

I know in a glock the 40 mags will work in 9mms in a pinch and with conversion barrels a you can use a 40 mag.

They might work from .40 to 9mm. I did try converting some 9's to .40, but they weren't reliable. I "stretched" the top part of the mags and lips a tiny bit, but gave up on that.
