I just recieved some 124g HST ammo but have not been able to go out to shoot yet.

Does anyone have experience using this ammo in a CM9? I am a tiny bit concerned because even though Kahr does not reccomend that you rack the slide to load a round, I have always been able to do so without issue using FMJ. The first time I tried to do so with the HST, it hung on the feed ramp. The second time it hung for a second and then slammed shut unexpectidly. The third time it chambered just fine.

I am really hoping these feed well in the CM9.

I use Federal Hydra Shok in my PM9 and they run perfectly. I always use the slide release to close the slide on all my guns, tho.

I use the HST 147 gr. in my MK9............I polished my feed ramp before I started using it, but have had no problems................

HST is a terrific defense round. It will tend to nose the ramp so polish the ramp will help. I went further and bought stronger recoil and mag springs and that ended all concerns about it as it chambered and shot like all others.

I've used both the 147 gr HST and HydraShok rounds in my CM9 with no problems.

I use the HST 147 gr. never a problem, but I did polish my feed ramp.

I ran two clips through it tonight and had no issues. This gun has been perfect for me since day one!

I use them in my PM9 along with GS's w/o a problem. I did shoot a couple hundred rounds of ball before I started shooting the HP's.
