Anybody have a PM9 with a high round count?

I love to shoot my guns, so I am hoping the new PM9 I just bought holds up to quite a bit of shooting.

I had a Kel Tec PF9 that after 2500 rounds started to become problematic. I think it just started to wear out. Became very loose.

I have 1700 rounds through my PM9 with no problems.Jocko has over 30,000 rounds through his and if I`m not mistaken,his PM9 has been trouble free too.All I have done as far as maintenance goes [other than regular cleaning and lube] was to change the recoil spring at 1200 rounds.I had not had any issues,I just did it for maintenance reasons.

Jocko will respond, I hope. Not enough count here to matter. Most you would have to do is change some springs, especially in the magazines. I don't think round count is an issue on a PM9. I don't expect it to be an issue on my CM9 or PM40 either.

Over 2900 rounds through my PM9 runs perfect, never a failure of any type. No wear can be seen.

32,000 rounds and counting on my PM9, replaced two magazine followers and recoil springs as needed. other than that this POS gun just goes bang every tme. I thiunk I will send it back to kahr and let them fokk it up so I can come on here and bit-h about my PM9.

trust me ricklee, u won't live long enough to shoot out a kahr . for me over 50 years of owning and shooting and selling guns for a living, I have never seen a SHOT OUT GUN. I think that is why most gun makers enclose a parts list..

Now thats a good endorsement!

Kahr should think about paying you as a spokesman for the company. Testimony like yours and with the knowledge you bring to these forums, I cant think of a better way to educate people as to the value of owning a Kahr.

Thanks for your input!
