I bought a Khar PM9 this past week and it jammed like crazy through the brakein period. Every other mag had at least one FTF. After about 500 rounds the FTF issue has gone away on the 6 round mag, but the 7 round mag has problems. Its a mag issue not a gun issue. Called Khar and they are sending me a new 7 round mag. I love the gun. Seriously accurate and I have complete faith in it (with the 6 round mag...). I also have a full frame Glock 22 .40SW that i think is an excellent weapon, but I'm more accurate with the smaller Khar. I 100% recommend the gun, you just will need to have the expectation that its going to jam like crazy until its broken in, and then it will behave perfectly.

Check out the CM9. Same as the PM9 for a lot less money.

Concerning your choice. Everybody's got a Glock. The Kahr is a very handsome gun that conceals very well. The Glock is dual stack and blockish. I have the CM9 for several months now and couldn't be happier.

Been looking though the forums (Kahr, Glock, DefensiveCarry.com and this one) and keep reading about all the problems with the Kahr. Then there is the 200 round break-in. Maybe I am just spoiled with my G19. No break-in and has shot flawlessly for the 500 rounds I have put through her

Shoot as well????? My Kahr PM9 and my P45 are extremely accurate..............Glock is a block

also my Kahr P45 in a crossbreed is extremely comfortable and thin!!

I own and carry a Gen 4 Glock 19 and a Kahr CW45 and both are very good handguns. Neither one has ever failed me in any aspect. The Kahr is easier to conceal than the G19 just because it has a smaller profile. I usually alternate the between the two depending on the weather and attire. In the winter I tend to carry the G19 more often because it is easy to cover up with a coat or jacket. In the warmer weather, I carry the Kahr instead because it is smaller and thinner and easily concealed with just covering it with a T shirt and/or polo shirt.
