And what parts have you had to replace in it over the years?
Also, what's it look like? Pics?

recoil springs, a few mag springs, one slide lock spring (because I fokked it up once putting the slide stop lever back in. If u go on this forum and hit on jocko's custom PM9, u will find the photos of my PMJ9. It is still my 24/7 carry. I will be going out to the range here in about a couple of weeks to do some shooting, as I have not shot it since last winter. I likie mopst gun nuts bought jore spare parts than I will ever need, but I do keep springs around, reecoil springs are cheap to buy, so normally ur gun will tellyou when they need tobe changed. I have replaced one broken follower also and since then modified my followers so that they do not grab on the magazine release lever. Tis can cause feed issues, and there is a nice tutorial in jockos PROPPER PREPPING OF UR KAHR. I shoot my PMJ 9 poorly compared to what I read from many on ths forum. ain't the gun I always knew that, they long trigger travel is my enemy but I am confident at 7 yards (very)..I would not have it in my pocket 24/7 if did not feel it was the best gun for me. Nothing else exzcept a 380 fits in my pocket like this PMJ9 does and I do like 9mm. There is a fella on here that carves nice grips etc who thinks 1911 are the only way to go, but he refinsihed a pair of grips for my Model 60 and tey came back ***** pink, soI take his comments now like a grain of sale. It slips my mind who that guy is to. (thank God)
I do think today that all kahrs are coming to owners in much better reliability than 5 years ago, when we had to tinker and fokk around to make them run right. It seems today that they work greatout of the box, which is what it should be. I also feel that some of the upgrades that we see today came from owners on this forum to. Busted magazine was never the fault of bad magazines, it was always the ramps that was businting the magazine. Once kahr learned of this, altough it took some time and they willnever tellyou either, this busted magazine stuff just kinda went away, sure there are still some out there thaty need to go back to kahr for some ramp work but the new stuff is pretty great now. Shooters just done realize what kahr really has done here, they make the smalles 9mm on the market and it is top quality and when ever a new 9 comes out by anutter maker it is normally an inch or so bigger ad for them they call it a compact, for me compared to my PMJ9 it is a tank like the 1911's. The new Glock 43 that I do think is gonna be a winner for glock and tey are tooting their horn about how small ity is. it sitll an inch longer than the cm or pm9 kahrs. Now an inch more hangin somewhere off my body is sumpin to toot ur horn about but as nice as the G43 I thinkis gonna be it won't rinde in my jeans pocket, maybe cvargo pants but myPMJ9 loaded with powerball weight as much as the G43 EMPTY.
Those who have hung around kahr through some of what we might think some ruff times are now being rewarded.. oops forgot, my PMJ9 is also magna ported.

There you go, Kahrmine. Straight from the horses mouth, or possibly the other end. Jocko has run more rounds through his PMJ9 than any other dozen Kahr owners put together. He's famous for his one hole groups. There's one thing to beware of. If you read enough of his posts you may actually be able to decipher them. He types better than he shoots. :) Aren't you glad to be home, Jocko?
What the Hon. Muggsy failed to mention, is them one hole groups was also one shot groups!

I always thought those groups are from a whole mag, just 1 shot hits the paper?:confused::tongue:

Hey jocko. Do you happen to remember when (rough round count) you replaced your recoil spring? Just curious. I'm now at 1200+ rounds through mine with one FTE at about the 500 point... so I cleaned it for the second time. Lol. She's still going strong. Been cleaned three times now.
Hey Jocko, glad to see you back on line. I also just came back from a brief respite. Hopefully, the snow has melted at your house! ;-)
