First post to KahrTalk so I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. I became a Kahr man in mid January of this year. Bought a PM45 over a LC9 because it fit like a glove in my hand (and throws a heck of a piece of lead). Took it out for the first time yesterday day and had absolutely no issues! I read on here to rack the slide 500 times before shooting and I must have done it 1000 times, and it seemed to really pay off. All I read and saw on YouTube was problems with that gun, so I became worried I got a crappy gun. Well needless to say I'm a Kahr man now, couldn't be happy with my purchase and choice of the PM45!
