Been Around the Block
I put two-hundred rounds through my Kahr PM9 today with only one failure; a failure to lock the slide back on the last round. This only happened once and I am inclined to believe I interfered with the slide lock lever while firing the pistol. I do this often with my duty weapon, with how I grip the weapon.
I like this little cannon! The grip checkering is a bit aggressive, but I really don't think this thing is ment to be a comfortable range plinker. I qualified with it after the two-hundred rounds with twenty-five rounds, and that went flawlessly. It does recoil sharply, and I wouldn't recomend it for an inexperienced shooter, but its nothing horrible. I am still waiting on the pocket holster and the grip laser so I didn't get to try those out yet. I cleaned and lubed the gun up after my range trip today and everything looks great inside.
The Kahr PM9 is a DAO (double action only) "pocket pistol" in 9mm. Kahr also makes one in .40, but I opted for the easier to shoot (for this size of gun) 9mm. The gun is larger than a Ruger LCP, but smaller than a GLOCK 27. It does fit nicely in the pocket for casual carry. Its built similar to a GLOCk firearm in that it has a polymer frame and a metal (stainless) slide. It is also striker fired like the GLOCK.
Here is the Kahr PM9 (small gun with stainless steel slide) next to some other guns (Sig P220R Equinox, GLOCK 27, and GLOCK 22) for comparison:
