PM9 Odd Malfunction

[nhathaitrieu]

I am still breaking in my new PM9.I went back to the range this afternoon to put another 50 through.Had 100 through it so far and no malfunctions.
What happend is i inserted a full 7 round mag with slide closed.I slingshot the slide back to chamber a round and the round did not chamber.I looked down in the slide and saw the round just barely moved from the mag, not even up on ramp yet.What was strange was the slide stop take down had come out of the kidney hole slightly.I removed the mag, pushed the slide stop back in and it worked ok from then on.Before the malfunction i had put 4 mags through it but was doing it with slide back and locked and releasing the slide with the stop.What ya think?

Hard to say for sure but I suspect you short stroked it when you tried the sling shot. One reason Kahr recommends the slide release method.

Didn't quite get the slide back far enough for the pick up bar to catch the next round. These things are tight and not a lot of extra room so it's easy to not quite get it.

With more rounds and practice they will sling shot just fine, just a little unforgiving especially at first.

Hard to say on the slide stop lever, the spring might be just a tad out of adjustment or you might have just hit it just right with your finger.
