Picking up my PM40 in two days. I'm not new to shooting but new to Kahrs. Any help or thoughts on the new gun. I want to make sure it gets broken in properly since if all goes well it will be my main carry weapon.

Anyway hi to everyone out there.

Welcome to the forum from North Dakota. Go to the PM Series threads under Kahr Forums and you'll find all kinds of advice on breaking in, shooting, and maintaining your Kahr. Lots of us here are, like you, not new to handguns but new to Kahrs. Their outstanding design and quality are amazing as you'll find out.

I'm not quite the newbie I was a month ago because of this forum. Followed all the advice in the forums in prepping and breaking in my mew Kahr and haven't had one problem with it. 500 rounds, perfect all the way.

Welcome to the forum, Buck.

Here's something you can use to learn more about your new pistol:

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.
Frequently asked questions: http://www.kahr.com/faq.asp?

There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!
