I just took my new P9 to the range for the first time today.
My worked flawlessly.

A total of 159 rounds with 34 of those being JHP.

Everything fed, fired, and extracted perfectly.

I was looking for a small but not too small, light but not too light, easy to shoot, 9mm pistol.
I guess I found it.

You are correct. The Kahr polymers are known for needing a break-in period.

Mine required none.

Three FTE's in first 50 rounds, then perfection. Now about 350 through it. Love it. It does like to be well lubed. I personally use Mobil One synthetic ao all the guns and they seem to love it.

+1!!

And I'll add to this by saying that I will propably never be able to part with my P9. When I'm sitting at home, and decide to run out for a minute... its the go to gun! So slim and light, it conceals effortlessly. Yet its large framed enough to be a very controllable and accurate pistol. It's gotta be the best conceal carry 9mm, ounce for ounce. Sure, I shoot all of my pistols a little better than my Kahr, but at less than 16 ounces, it weighs half of the lightest of them. It won't replace my 1911 or p228 for EDC, but when I have to have something unnoticeable, its definitely the Kahr.

Spend a few minutes with it at the range, and you wouldn't guess that you could make that small DAO poly 9mm shoot the way it does!

My PM9 ran fine right out of the box..... 330 rounds so far with no prblems at all!

Its a good thing you didn't just cash it in riight away because someone else would have had a great gun and you would have had a bad taste concerning Kahrs. I love my Kahr carry it every day. It is the one gun I handle every single day. I have a lot of shot through it too. Cant carry a gun you arent fimiliar with.

I think what gave me the patience to work it out was the fact that my wife had one with no issues. The other reason is that I am more accurate with the PM9 than any of my Glocks.

My favorite gunshop has two Rohrbaugh 9mm's in stock, and I'm in a quandry as to what to do. I own 3 Kahr's, a K9, MK9, and a PM9. The PM 9 is a handfull to shoot, but the Rohrbaugh is 3 oz. lighter, and must be like grabbing onto an electric fence to shoot. I don't think it would conceal any better than the PM9, and has a better track record for problems.

I've been hearing a lot of this, I gotta try it.

I've been using RemOil but I can't tell a different anyway from one with another anyway. I am loaded with M1 0W40 in the garage.. should that work, too, in your opinion? Thanks in advance.
