Santa brought me a PM40 for Christmas and I promptly joined the KahrTalk cult. I have been surveilling you guys from the shadows for awhile but I didn’t feel worthy of joining until I was legit Kahr owner.
After many hours of snuggling and crooning, I walked Kahrma (yeah, I name ‘em all) through the steps of “proper prep of a new Kahr” (thanks Jacko and others). This morning, Kahrma and I rolled into the range with 200 rounds of ammo and the intent to shoot it all up. Things went well as Bawanna45cal had said they would. After reading all the reviews from naysayers and Kahr-bashers on other forums, I was anticipating the possibility of a long frustrating day attempting to force-feed ammo down Kahrma’s throat. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.
I started out with 50 rounds of PMC Bronze and had two FTB. A little love tap on the back of the slide sent it home and back into battery. We then moved on to 50 rounds of Speer Lawman with no incidents. Our third course was 50 rounds of Federal American Eagle. We had another FTB in the first magazine but zipped through the rest of the box very smoothly. After a little break and a few drops of fresh gun oil, I decided to move on to some hollow points for dessert. I fed her 50 rounds of Federal HST Tactical without a hiccup.
I gotta admit that the web / meat of my right thumb is a little tender from shooting this little pocket rocket but I’m satisfied with how the gun performed. If my next trip to the range is completed without any failures I may have a new carry gun. I’m still waiting for my new Crossbreed holster to arrive. I haven’t drank the kool-aid just yet but if this holster works half as good as most are saying, it will be Kahrma’s new ride.
Well the house smells of Hoppe’s #9 and the wife is going to be pissed when she discovers I used all the Q-tips again. It’s good to be here and I look forward to learning and sharing with all you folks.
