So I got my PM9 (9094N) Tuesday night. Prepped it and got to know it per the sticky here. I couldn't hit the range last night, so I went out in the back yard and shot two mags worth just before it got dark. Such a sweet shooting little pistol. I did have one FTF on the second or third round with the 7-round mag.

Cleaned it a little bit again and got to the range for a short shoot tonight. I finished off the box of 100 rounds. I had a few more FTF - 1 with the 6-round mag and 3 or 4 with the 7-round mag. Hopefully I can get through another 100 rounds this weekend and get past these failures.

I know "limp wristing" can be a cause of failures. Would it cause this kind of problem with the feeding (bullet nose down) or does limp wristing cause a different kind of failure? I certainly don't think I am doing anything different, but you never know.

Here is a picture of 79 rounds at 7 yards. For being new to this kind of small handgun, I am definitely enjoying myself.

It definitely does look like you're having fun!! Keep at it and report back after 200, I'm hoping it gets past the failures too.

A lot of folks who are experienced shooters and never limp wrist may have one with this gun. Basically you gotta "strangle that puppy" until you are past all that. However, it still could just be the break-in blues. It looks to me like it really delivers so that's good.
