PM9 Convert - Range Report #1

[PM9 Convert]

Went to the Range Yesterday and here were my results with my Brand New PM9:

1. Remington 9mm Luger 124 Grain - 50 Rounds - Flawless;
2. Blazer Brass 9mm Luger 115 Grain - 50 Rounds - Flawless;
3. American Eagle 9mm Luger 115 Grain - 50 Rounds - Flawless;
4. Lawman 9 mm Luger 124 Grain - 50 Rounds - Flawless;
5. Speer Gold Dot 9mm (+P) 124 Grain Short Barrel - 20 Round Box - at Round 16, I had 1 Failure to Feed where the slide locked open - my hands and I were pretty tired at this point after this marathon session, so I am pretty sure that my thumb(s) rode the slide lock and I believe I inadvertently caused the failure. Pulled the clip out put it back in and resumed with no other failures.
6. Speer Gold Dot 9mm (+P) 124 Grain Short Barrel - 20 Round Box - Flawless - I even hip shot the last two rounds with one hand and did it rapid fire on the last clip - no problems whatsoever.

I plan on doing another range session with 200 more target rounds and two more boxes of Speer Gold Dots before I will start carrying this gun; although, I believe it is ready now.

nice all around round test... I like the gold dots in 124....

Great break-in of your PM9. Had a similar experience with only one round (Winchester Whitebox) where the slide failed to lock back when the mag was empty. Happened at about the 92nd round fired. Never had a repeat after that. May have been the round in the chamber that was underpowerd.

200 rounds of carry ammo - flawless and after the break-in period - before I would trust any micro Kahr with my life. No exceptions whatsoever (except maybe that thumb thingy on the 16th round if you're really sure) -- no matter what the ammo cost.
