High Round Count Kahrs?

[DAinTX]

Fellas, I have a P9 with approximately 1,000 rounds through it. Not a particularly high round count, but I looked the gun over very carefully today to see if I could find any obvious signs of undue wear...and I could not. Clean, it still looks new. It's never been in for service and has been reliable and accurate from Day 1.

Now I'm curious about the experiences of others, and how many rounds they might have through their Kahr pistol(s)? I'd appreciate hearing some numbers from members here on the topic. Thanks.

I only own steel framed Kahrs.. No high round count on any of mine that I've personally put on them, but just about all but one of my Kahrs have been purchased used. One that was manufactered in 2014 was a T&E gun or a range gun from what I could tell by the stickers on the box it came it. It still looked new, but very dirty when I purchased it.

I have four others two of which were manufactured in 2000 and 2013 respectively. Both still look brand new with little wear.

Anybody remember the last round count ole Jocko had on his PM9. It was upwards of 30,000 wasn't it? Have to look back.

This video looks at a PM9 with over 30K rounds through it. "The Firearm Guy" I think there was another video where Jocko or another member examine there high round count Kahr.

Thanks Topgun. The older PM9 in the video allegedly has 43K to 45K rounds through it! Pretty darned impressive for a pocket pistol, IMO.

I believe that is jocko’s actual pm9 in that video. Long ago he posted a picture of his and it was exactly like that.

Pretty sure there are quite a few out there with more than my 1,000 rounds (+/-) through their Kahr pistol.

Wife and I each have a K9 Elite and a PM9. We got the K9's back about 1997. And the Pm9's about 2001. We have our own shooting range and these toys were shot about 3x per week and about 100 rnds. each, each session. Now with old age setting in they get shot 1X per week. I sure we've far surpassed 40,000 through each
In all this time I can't remember ever having a malfunction. We had misfires due to bad primers but that's all. They get cleaned twice a year

Oh! We shoot my cast 124 gr. lead truncated bullets through them. 10 mags. Five have a jacketed rnd. as the last rnd. to be shot. Very little barrel leading.

4 Kahrs x 40,000+ each! That's amazing, jg! Thanks for the response.

The gun the Firearms guy is shooting is in fact Jocko's gun. Pretty impressive.

Love the comments on the video. "40k ??? Dude must be some old rich guy. Jeez." "yeah that's like $7K in ammo alone."

$7k over 8 years $73/month. Jocko must have really sacrificed for that. Oh, and The Firearm Guy called him a "gentleman." ;)

[Bawanna]

He is old, he is rich and he's a die hard Harley rider. Most importantly he is a gentleman, used to post here daily.
He can't spell to save his life but with the proper decoder ring most of us could figure out what he was trying to say.

Like JG and his wife, shooting on a regular basis weekly those rounds add up. Wish I could do the same. Love to have a range out my back door.

[JohnR]

And I miss the rich old Harley-driving, Kahr-shootin’ gentleman!

[topgun1953]

I miss his comments too. My decoder ring is collecting dust. :)

Looks like I have a lot of rounds to go before I get close to wearing any of mine out! ;)
