I recently bought a very slightly used Kahr PM40. Monday was my first range session with it and I put 30 rounds of Remington UMC 165 grain FMJs through it.
First the good stuff. I love the trigger, much better than my GLOCK 26 I am now trying to sell. Very accurate for its size, its 1/2" shorter than my GLOCK 26 and I can shoot it better. Ergonomics are great. Very concealable. Recoil stout but not really uncomfortable. And shoots the .40cal which I now am starting to like. Quality of parts in the slide seems to be very high. Ejection was positive. Field stripping very simple.
Now my concerns. During my range time I had the slide stay back after firing, while there were still rounds in the mag. Will this go away after the first 200 rds or so? Could it have been the mags or was it most likely a rough edge on the slide stop lever? Also the slide seems to only ride partially on metal frame rails. The rear 1/2 of the frame has polymer frame rails. Should I be concerned by this?
And I need help picking a pocket holster. Should I get a Grandfather Oaks pocket holster or should I look into getting a leather holster? I think a pocket holster with little to no retention would be best.
