I'm new here and this is my first thread.
I own a PM9 and CW9. Both perfectly suited for my carry needs.
The thing I like the most about them is their feel in my hand. I knew it the first time I picked up a CW9. It fit my hand like a handshake.
The problem I'm having is carrying the magazines. When carrying them in my pocket, most of the rounds will be in the bottom of my pocket by the end of the day.
The reason I picked the Kahr over a revolver was speed of loading. They both hold six rounds. But if I have to fish for reloads, the revolver is faster.
Before you tell me about your little mag holster, let me say that I own many belt holsters for my guns but hate to wear any of them. Much less one for the magazines. I either pocket or ankle carry. depending on the time of year.
I know some of you have had this issue. How do you carry you mags?

Do you want to carry your spare mags in your pocket? I could think of a couple options:

You could buy a simple pocket pouch like this (shop around online). https://www.amazon.com/Condor-Elite-Pistol-Magazine-Pouch/dp/B01F4DOAAS/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1492225807&sr=8-34&keywords=pocket+magazine+pouch

I think some have found inexpensive knife pouches that work just as well as the above.

Or you could try some Lakeline followers to see if they hold the rounds in a mag carried in your pocket naked. Mine do.

Or you could check with some holster makers to see if they make a leather mag holder for your pocket. Something like this?

Many have had success tweaking the feed lips down just a bit.
I believe it was JG Rider who had a nifty little tool for doing that. I could be mistaken on the person but I remember the tool.

I'll scout around and see if I can find that thread someplace.

I'm cancelling my ahlzeimers test. I nailed it square pilgrim.

Bought one of these specifically for pocket carry. Fairly cheap, well made, and free shipping.

Keep thinking about buying a Mitch Rosen mag carrier ($50+) to match my holster and belt that I use for carrying my MK9, but this simple mag pouch works so well, I've resisted so far.

I got the one with the belt loop, not the clip....

This (https://lakelinellc.com/shop/metal-magazine-follower-for-9mm-kahr/ ) has also worked for me, as have the old metal followers and modified factory plastic followers (http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?6943-Chambering-the-first-round-a-slingshot-modification).
I suspect the new design factory follower (http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?30032-Did-Kahr-Change-Their-Magazine-Followers-for-the-PM9-Photo-difference-attached&highlight=follower) will also mitigate the "issue".

A mag pouch from any manufacturer is a good start.

I haven't had any problems with the rounds coming out of my 7 round or 8 round mag when I carry in either my from or back pocket. Thinking about it, though, I had some concerns. What are the chances of it bending from my bony butt sitting on them?
