Hello Everyone,
Ive been lurking around the forum for a couple of weeks, but didnt have anything to post until now. Ive been thinking about buying a PM9 for a month or so, but was slightly worried after reading about some of the problems some buyers were experiencing.
Anyway this weekend I went to my local Gun store and found 2 stainless steel with night sight models were available. They were the first I had seen with N-sights in a month of looking so I picked one up. I probably paid too much ($765) but I like to support my local economy.
I prepped it per the great post by Joco,racking the slide about 450 times and cleaned the heck out of it before shooting. The feed ramp looked like a mirror so I didnt polish it further.
I took it to the range and fired 100 rounds of Remington Umc. I was expecting a good bit of recoil but It wasnt bad at all. Out of 100 rounds I had one failure to feed correctly which may have been caused by me not seating the round correctly in the magazine. All in all I am very happy with my new PM9. You can feel the quality when you hold it in you hand, its shoots comfortably, and with a 99% firing success rate in the first 100 rounds iy seems destined to be very dependable!! When I fire my second 100 rounds I will update this post.
