Received a new lower for my PM45 from Kahr service this week. The upper has about 1300 rounds through it. Gun was bought new 8/09. Previously was having issues of failure to feed and casing being ejected to my forehead one in 20 rounds. Here are the results of my first range session with the new lower today - 100 rounds - 80 Blazer 230gr FMJ and 20 Federal 230gr JHP:
First 80 rounds of FMJ - one stovepipe round #6, otherwise flawless.
Next 20 rounds JHP - had one slide lockback.
All in all I am very pleased. I did not expect a nearly flawless session with a brand new lower. I am attaching my targets from today. The first 2 are 8-inch targets with FMJ at 5-7 yards. The third is a 5-inch by 9 inch oval with FMJ at 7 yards, and the last one is with the 20 rounds of Federal JHP at 5-7 yards.
I am over 60 with 2 bad hands and one bad wrist and eyesight that has seen better days... this is a real shooter for anyone. Modest recoil... very manageable. I can't find any reasons not to evry day carry this fantastic 45.
