I put about 200 rounds thru my new PM9 with out any malfunction.
No special prep, just oiled well.
This is the fourth Kahr pistol (100% I own/ owned) with out pistol caused problem.
I had problem with one mag that came with used MK9 (after I smoothed out follower it works perfectly in both MK9 and PM9) and after market night sights that were loose (previes owner removed little too much metal from the rear sight to fit in dovetail, but some red loctite took care of that).
Best I took MK9 and PM9 to the shooting range with out any bag.
One was in the IWB holster and the other in the pocket holster in front pocket and I could hardly feel that they were there.

Of my seven Kahrs, three had malfunctions; two .45acp pistols and a CW9. The other four have been fault free. That's around 2500 rounds without a problem. So far so good.

I picked up a new CM9 about a week ago...So far have close to 500 rounds thru it,FMJ's and HP's....I did Jockos' prep and lube in the tech section...Not a hiccup...

I am very impressed with my PM9. Stainless finish, with CT laser.

Not only has it not malfunctioned in 600+ rounds, carrying it pretty much every day, for 15 months now, it looks like the day it came out of the box. Pocket carry in a Desantis Superfly probably does help protect it some.

It bumps into stuff and stays in there when I'm on the shop floor under something. It gets banged around at the range and taken apart every month or less for cleaning. You would think it has only been sitting in a safe by they way it is holding up.

I own other firearms that are also perfectly reliable, but none that shrug off normal wear and tear as well as the Kahr.

u know one has to give his gun a break every once in awhile. If u get tired and limp the gun and it acts up, don't call that an issue, just call it a nothing. The gun can grab ur hand and make it do what it should every time. People are alot like guns. they do fokk up at times.

I was curios if the magazine from my cw9 would work on the pm9 and I had no problems what so ever, I wont be carrien the pm with it but I wont have to buy a mag either since i like to carrie 2 spare mags just in case and i have 3 for the cw...also the 7 round on the pm works flawlessly. 21 round all together it's comforting, IMO

Well put me in this club, my two (yes one is technically the wife's) are flawless unless I get stupid/careless and don't check things (slide stop and the spring). If it's me, then it can't be the gun, so mine are perfect.

I'll join this club, I'm at about 750 rounds through my PM9 and not once has it failed to fire, failed to eject, or failed to put a happy smile on my face.

For my wife and I, 200 rounds in an un-prepped, unfired PM9 with no failures of any kind. Stunning accuracy, easy and fun to shoot. Can't wait to shoot it some more!

properly prepped my pm9, polished the feed ramp and shaved the slide stop a bit (was rubbing rounds in the mag) when it was new, and haven't had any malfunctions in around 2000 rounds. a good portion of that was rapid fire, double and triple taps.

been shooting 115gr remington umc FMJ and 124gr speer gold dots.

CW9, enough rounds and I lost count, no problem with the gun. Only malfunction was operator error either not inserting the mag all the way or hitting the release with my thumb when shooting. Didn't feed the next round.

No offense TAKEN, U GOT A DANDY My PM9 was good to go out of the box, I did do my pre pep though, as I have with every new gun I have bought. I also do not trust the gun makers to have everything toghether correctly to. I tend to error on the side of caution. YMMV

I also check all the fluids in my new car when I buy it also. WHY not??

Guess I can't join the club. I had a few FTF's early - mainly with the hi-cap mag. But it's running like a champ now. No probs in at least the last 350 rounds.

I'll have two new 6-round mags this weekend, so the proving period will start anew.

No worries, Mate!

u can enter the no malfunctions club. If it was during the break in and it has stopped, then u paid your dues and enjoy the gun. I would hate to think that if I bought a new gun and did nothing to it and took it from the gun shop to the range and had one or two issues, that I would boix it back up and take it back tot he gun shop or peddle it, but some people do just that..

Try that with yournew kahr and see if they give ur money back:laser:

PM9 and T9

Lost track of round count but both have been running perfectly.

Have shot ball and several self defense rounds all ran perfectly.

About the only thing I have not tried are the 147's

I'm an old guy and remember when the 147's were first introduced and they did not have too good of a track record back then......I know the newer 147's are much better but just can't bring myself to try them.

I really like the 124 Gold Dots for carry.
