PM9 Durability with lots of rounds.

[EssArTee4]

So random question here, as i am newer to polymer firearms. I know alot say the PM9 is not a "Range" gun, however i enjoy it very much at the range. Ive only had it 10 days and have been to the range 3 times putting 150rnds through it.

I guess my question is, are their guys here with high round counts on their PM9's? Am i going to wear the gun out quickly?

Thanks.

u wll wear out before the PM9 does. keep shootin, ur worryin about nuttin.

Agreed.

In fact, on my job in the old days the Academy had S&W M10 heavy barrel revolvers for training. Those guns had over 100,000 rounds each through them and still worked perfectly. Since we shot lead rounds, the barrels were not shot out.
In general, guns will outlive the shooter many times over. The only part that can really wear out the the barrel from jacket rounds. And if that happens, just pop in a new barrel.
Do not worry about it at all.

And the HB was good for wacking someone if you ran out of ammo.

Those tiny rails in the front and rear of the frame don't seem like they would last forever esp with the very high forces involved. However im no engineer haha

Here's a side view from someone's "kaboom" picture(squib blockage) showing more of the front rails... they're pretty strong... a Kahr patent:

They are skeletonized with cutouts in the bottom, but very strong and embedded in the frame.

Was that English?

[JFootin]

That's jocko English. You'll get used to it after a while. :D

[wyntrout]

Some young woman was shooting her Kahr and had a squib-type malfunction without checking the barrel but went ahead and shot another round... Kaboom! She posted the pictures so others could learn. It speaks well for Kahrs that she wasn't injured.

English, kinda. You will learn how to work your way there it and understand it. Jacko's just keep'n us sharp. Imagine how brilliant he is to make his reply flow off his key board so smoothly!!

[EssArTee4]

We used to give out Jocko decoder rings at 100 post but we've been out of them for a long time. Apparent issues in the production end of things.

We tried production in Bangledesh and it made perfect sense to them and they didn't see the purpose of the decoder ring. Go figure.
