Howdy folks,

I purchased a PM9 in September of 2009 after doing research on a new CCW.
The PM9 was a no brainer for me, let’s just say I settled on the PM9 long before I could afford it.
My PM9 is the finest 24/7/365 CCW I’ve owned bar none.
I broke’r in with 100 rounds each of Federal and Remington UMC 115 grain.
I had 2 FTE in the first 3 mags and one of those was the first round fired… it’s been flawless since with multiple loads.
Recoil is surprising from such a small weapon and accuracy is amazing.
I’m currently at 900 rounds and it’s fired many types of commercial ammo as well as my reloads.

Current loadings……
SD primary = Gold Dot 124+p
SD secondary = WWB 147gr PP JHP (I’ve actually done a water jug test with this load, I’ll post it up in the ammo section)
Range fodder= 124 gr Berrys RNDS over 4gr. RedDot @ 1.15 OAL.

Welcome Rubb. The best kept secret in concealed carry IMO. Hard to beat.

was any of the FTE's with your reloads??? Once you get it going right, the gun just gets smoother with more rounds down range to. If u have issues with any reloads, don't get critical on kahr, you just might have to do some changing in your reloads.

they tend to shoot any factory ammo with ease, they are not ammo sensitive.

If I could reload cheap , I would not loose alot of sleep if a few of those reloads went south either, for to me reloads are still "used" brass and nothing beats new stuff out of the box. As long as I can find wwb 100 pak at Wal mart for arund $20, I probalby willnot even consider doing reloads... YOur gun seems IMO good to go..Gold dots are problaby the most popular, most used rounds in the pM9..

Howdy stranger ;) and thanks for the welcome folks!

No I didn't run any reloads until after break in +.
Never had a failure with my reloads out of 4- 9mm's.
245 of'em through the PM9....like butter.

Yeah she's good to go 2- hiccups in the first 21 rounds and flawless since.

+1 for Gold Dots...has been my load for years..tried other but, always come back to'em.
