I picked up an all black PM9 with night sights on Saturday.

My first trip to the range went better than I expected.

In the first 100 rounds I had one failure to feed/chamber on the first round in the mag. I think it was because I may have loaded the round into the mag and pushed it down flat instead of letting it sit at an an upwrad angle, not sure. However, on all other mags, I made sure the last round loaded into the mag was sitting upwards and didn't have any problems.

Used Fiochi, Gold Dot and Hornday Critical Defense all 115 grains. The Gold Dot was the most accurate, but not by enough to justify the extra cost.

The accuracy is much better than I expected for the short sight radius, light weight and small way less than a hand full grip.

I am loving it!

Welcome... I have the same pistol including night sights. Glad to hear all went well. I've owned mine for over a year now and have experienced "0" problems shooting all sorts of brass cased ammo including reloads. I mostly shoot FMJ at the range but about every 6 months I shoot off my SD HP's and buy new.
