Bought a P9 several months back and love it so I thought I'd try my luck with a PM9 and to say the least my experience so far has been spotchy. As soon as I puchased the PM9 I went to shoot it and found out it would not eject a live round. Try all you may but the extractor would grab the rim as it should however when the ejector engaged the back of the cases the bullet would not clear the chamber. Once you fired the round it was no problem and I never had a single hiccup in 100 rounds. Well I sent the pistol in on my own dime and when it came back I noticed they had replaced the barrel. I shot it to check funtion and two things caught my attention. First the pistol shoots approx. 6-7 inches above the point of aim. The size of the group is about 2 inches at 15 yards, which is about all I can do with my P9 under the same lighting. The difference being my P9 is spot on at 15 yards while the PM9 is high, very high. It also groups about 2-3 inches to the right. The other problem is the mag dissconect keeps engaging when I'm shootin the longer mags. I'm sure I'm hitting it and it only drops the mag with the additional force from my pinky finger on the bottom of the mag during the firing sequence. This usually will cause a light primer strike due to the bullet not being properly chambered. The rest of the time I get good primer strikes. Don't really want to send the gun back if this is a common thing that I can fix with a taller front sight, drifting the rear sight over a little, and putting in a heavier mag disconnect spring. What is y'alls experience as far as poi with the PM9 and what suggestions comments do you have? I'm really lookin for a replacement front sight that would accomplish what I need. TIA.
