First time here. I gotta say, I have handled Kahrs at the shops but it took my a while to come around. After years of fighting with a G33 that never fit my hand well and a 1911 that didn't conceal well, I finally took a friends advice and picked up a CW9. Man am I in love with that trigger. Much easier to conceal, fits my hand better, and I am much more accurate with a Kahr than I am with a Glock.

6 months later and a lonely PM9 came home for the new year.

Range Report:

PM9 is just as accurate as my CW9. The PM9 does seem to be a little smoother in operation and the trigger is shorter. (I suppose my CW9 doesn't have the Elite Trigger.) There is a bit more recoil and less muzzle flip with the PM9 but 100% manageable. Both fed every ammo brand I had on hand including 147gr. Golden Saber. I shot a total of 200 rounds.


Now for the question:

While cleaning my PM9 I noticed that just below the forward frame rail on the right side of the frame, there was exposed metal. My guess is it is a part of the rail. MY CW9 does not show this and has polymer up to the rail as I would imagine it should. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks!

I wold say it is OK, the rail is a one peace of steel and then when it is molded the polymer molds around it. I would say u got a light spotted area where the polymer did not flow. It will hurt nadda, zero,. Kahr will probably tellyouw hat I am saying also but u can forward the photos to them and let them give u an affirmative answer. I am more than sure if you ever had an issue related in that area, they would take care of it, but that rail is not going anywhere.

IMO, just shoot it like u stole it.
