That said, I didn't consider the failures to feed (there were several) during the first 200 rounds "trouble" given Kahr's break-in period recommendation. Only when I had consistent jams of the first round in the magazine thereafter that I had to pry out, did I consider the weapon truly "troublesome".

I spent 15 minutes this morning on the phone listening to a recording from Kahr's technical support center telling me they were busy helping other customers before sending an email spelling out my issues. Guess what? No reply to my email today.

I'm delighted that a majority of PM9 owners are fully satisfied. I hope one day to be among those. But as of now, if I had my purchasing decision to do over, I would not buy a Kahr product.
I understand that you had a bad experience. The poll did not include the qualifiers that you decided to apply. Those that voted "yes" only voted that their Kahr gave them "trouble". Out of all the guns I've owned, only 1 has never given me "trouble."

I only meant to point out that the poll has a flaw that makes the outcome questionable. Not to question your experience.

I'm sorry your Kahr hasn't been reliable and inspired confidence.
