PM9 Mag Question

[AFDoc]

Just got my PM9 today. Inspecting the weapon and note that the 6 round mag is marked "MK" with "KAHR" under that. Is this the correct mag? It also sticks when I press the mag release instead of ejecting out.
Thanks

You didn't say,so I gotta ask. Do you have bullets in it. If it's a new pistol and you haven't shot it yet I suggest you do, and then that will tell you if you have a problem or not. They just need to break in some. I'm sure you'll be fine and congrats on your new pistol.

Are your PM9 mags marked "MK"? Just want to make sure I have correct mag before i shoot. Not reporting a problem, just commenting about mag not ejecting as others have reported. Thanks.

Yes, the PM magazines are marked MK over KAHR.
There is a lot of information on the Kahr site. The MK and PM use the same magazines.

Here are the magazines:

AFDoc... flight surgeon?? I flew... or was flown... I told the pilots where to go so I could do my job.:D
Wynn:)

[AFDoc]

No, not flight surgeon. just surgeon. Did get up in a mil jet once...that's a self portrait in the air! LOL

I told the pilots where to go.:D
Wynn:)Me too, every once in a while one of them would drop the big fella 2 or 3 feet to the runway. Afer we stopped I'd go forward and tell the ac "If you break this son-of-a-***** you're gonna buy it!" many woulkd beat me to the punch saying "I'm sorry" before i could say anything. Most of them were very good aviators and they usually asked for my plane. A couple I discouraged from it with snide remarks that they "had twice as many landings as takeoffs", etc.

I always wondered why they put the driver of the bus (the pilot) in charge. As the Radar Navigator, I told them where to go. Their job was to get me and the navigator to the target so I could do my job. I never dropped bombs in combat, though. A few years after I retired, the first Gulf War happened and my buddies went over there, flying off Diego Garcia, an island in the Indian Ocean... a tiny one. I don't remember if any were in Saudi Arabia.

I never did get to fly in one of those tiny jets... the trainers or the tactical sized. Ours maxed out at 488,000 pounds or so and about 190,000 or a little less without fuel.

My wife did get to fly in a T37... the 20,000 pound dog whistle or Tweet early in her Air Force career. The pilot and whomever sat side by side and it had the noisiest, most high pitched engine... deafening! The T38 was really quiet compared to the Tweet.
My wife got an orientation ride or a bonus for doing good, and most of it was low-level which is really wild. I always wanted a ride like that.

I got ONE flight as a safety observer and got to sit between the pilots and fly one of our low-level routes... through Monument Valley... fantastic! It was great to see something for real instead of just on radar or a quick look out a window upstairs. We, the guys who had to tell the pilots where to go, sat in the lower compartment with NO windows, literally in the dark. Someone wrote and sang a song about SAC and that kind of stuff. I wish that I had a copy of the song. :)
Rambling again.

You got to be talking about the Buff right?
Loaded bombs on them 1972-1973 Utapao..Linebacker II.
I retired in 1991...:)

[wyntrout]

Yes! I didn't get into them until they returned to Dyess. I was in Nav Bomb Training at Mather during the December '73 bombing when they started losing BUFFs. The planners got lazy and used the same routes more than once. The crews revolted after they kept trying to do that.
I did hear the BUFFs bombing while at Danang in '67 and '68. I also heard the shells passing over us from the Battleships firing in support of the ground troops... interesting times. I made Staff Sergeant 1 Jan '68 and was at Danang the day before the end of the month... just in time for the first Tet offensive... very exciting for a 21-year-old newly promoted NCO! I was in the Security Service... Airborne Voice Intercept Processing Specialist. RC-130's from Cam Ranh and RC-135's from Okinawa.
