I have a first generation PM9. I've never had a single issue with it. Ever. Its been through several years worth of qualifications and a few pocket pistol combat classes, and even a SWAT class I took for fun. I've carried it daily for 6 years now. Before that, I had a P9 covert, and a K9. No problems with them either.
I have a couple of points to make;
First, the other guy in the other thread wasnt blasted for saying he had a problem with the Kahr. He was blasted for stating that he did exactly what the owners book says not to, and then complained that the gun was unreliable.
Second, the Kahr is not a rookie's gun. You do have to know what you are doing to run them, this is true of any light weight pistol out there. The Kahrs are very much a light weight pistol chambered in a heavy cartridge... this isnt a good mix when given to a newer shooter or one that doesnt want to follow directions.
Third, almost every issue I've read about on forums or seen myself has been a result of operator error or junky ammo. I know the reply to ammo issues is that it should run on any ammo or with any operator its given; I say this... It's not a Glock. Its a high quality pocket pistol with tight tolerances designed for a very specific task or mission. It should'nt have to run on junk ammo or with a poor operator. To get what makes a Kahr a Kahr, some things have to be that way. If you can't supply the proper elements to make the gun work for you, perhaps you should stick with a platform that you can. Blasting what is an excellent gun in most cases only shows ignorance about the topic at hand, because to those who know better, 90% of the complaints read here are clearly operator error.
Fourth, I like to see a different poll between the PM40 and 9.
I guess I make an open ended offer, If anybody wants to unload their "broken" Kahr. Let me know. I have cash.
