PM45 slide and recoil spring changes?

[Kahrfan78]

Hi all I was wondering when kahr made the slide and recoil spring changes to the PM45? What I mean is what year where these changes started?
I'm looking at a used PM45 with the black DLC finish I was just told by Khar customer service that this particular PM45 was made in January 2014.

So is this gun after the they made the changes to the slide and recoil spring changes? Thanks for any help on this.

Is it square on the front of the slide or tapered? The tapered nose is the new style with a fraction of an inch longer recoil spring assembly.
I wasn't even sure they did that to the PM45. Now I need to look at mine, pretty sure it's square or what many call the blunt nose. Many preferred it over the newer style, not sure why.

Bawanna it has a believed looking front part of the slide.

So that's the new style with the slightly longer recoil assembly. I don't know the dates of that change but it was several years ago. I still need to go look at mine, I'm sure it's the blunt nose.

If you zoom in (on my browser hover your mouse over the picture) the front of the slide looks tapered. You can compare it to the picture on the Kahr website of the older squared off style: https://shopkahrfirearmsgroup.com/pistol-parts/kahr-005pm45-recoil-assembly-new-style-005pm45.asp

It would be my guess that the one in your link is the newer style.
