I just took ownership of the Kahr PM9 and it’s my first polymer frame pistol.  I have found it to be a sheer joy to carry and extremely accurate and fun to shoot.

My Kahr PM9 came packed in a heavy coating of “goop” from the factory.  After cleaning it thoroughly it was very challenging to reassemble.  It took several attempts, but I finally got it back together.  After firing the mandatory test rounds and performing the subsequent cleaning and lubrication, the reassembly took only a few minutes.

The sight picture is excellent and the double action only firing system was a pleasure and the trigger slack was taken up easily and then broke crisply without any effort at all.  Much lighter than any revolver I’ve ever owned or fired before and this eliminated the need for safeties which can slow one down in a crisis situation.

Well, I got my 200 break-in shots fired today.  Fired 135 rds and it got brutal towards the end, my hand was sore and my head felt like it had silly putty inside rather than a brain!  I used plugs and should have worn muffs.
 
I went to the gun shop and was unable to obtain the Speer Gold Dots.  He had a bunch of 147grn stuff, some 115 which may have been acceptable, but I opted for his three types of 124grn stuff – Remington Golden Saber (fired high and left, hard recoil), MagTech (soft recoil but high left also) and Federal Hydra-Shok (shot in the 3.5 inch bullseye, 4 of 5 rounds).
 
The first two brands were close enough to kill someone but the Hydra-Shoks were “between the eyes” tight.  All fired from between 30 – 35 feet.  Mostly 35 ft shots since an old brick smokehouse stands at the 30ft mark and by backing up, the muzzle blast was less deafening.
 
The 115 grn ball WWB is very accurate as well, but no expansion.  Home reloading for many years tells me that a 115 grn may lower the point of impact, since the bullet exits a micro-second before any muzzle rise can affect shot placement, so I’ll be trying some of those too.
 
No hitches at all, and I have surpassed my 200 rds and then some change to boot.  Only wear I see is a small smudge of rub on the top of the barrel (when looking directly down – on the barrel through the open top of the ejection port) right in front of the slide.  No peening just a small rub where the square top of the bbl,  narrows down, right at the bbl-meets-slide area.  That was normal, I was told by the gunsmith that owns the gun shop where I bought the bullets and not to worry about it.  Sounds right!
 
I’m going to clean that cannon and try to forget about it for a few days!  I don’t see how guys can rip off a couple of hundred rds with one at a time without getting their hands beat up a little bit.  My right hand was sore for awhile!
