My LGS has a brand new Kahr PM9 all black, standard sights, 3 mags (2-six rounders, 1-seven rounder) for sale.
My question is I don't know the production date on the gun and is there any difference in early models vs late models? The price of the gun is $499.99 and they claim that they are saling it at cost to blow it out the door since no one seems to want it. Since it comes with three mags is that something the factory offered or is that something I wondered they are doing? The gun does have a long pull like a revolver and it's deffinelty not as smooth as I thought it should be. |

Older model was a blunt muzzle, newer version is tapered and longer
I have a blunt muzzle Black Diamond. It's my 4th Kahr Look here for serial info http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?207-Kahr-Serial-Number-History-by-WIG19-on-GlockTalkkahr serial |

I'm not a fan of the longer pull but my older PM9 is smooth as silk. |

As mentioned earlier the trigger pull on the PM-9 is like a smooth double-action revolver pull.
That's how they were designed and once you're used to it its perfectly fine. I really like my PM-9 and while it doesn't have a crisp 1911 trigger or a striker-fired pistol trigger pull it is what it is. That's an excellent price for a new PM-9. |

I consigned a PM9 to a LGS it was the two tone with factory night sights and two custom leather holsters. About 280 rounds through it. The factory suggests 250 round break in. I had it listed for $599 and no one wanted it. The cheaper models can be had so much cheaper most folks do not want to pony up for the PM. I finally decided to bring it home and frankly I am happy it did not sell. I intend to keep it.
I had one stove pipe within about the first 2 or 3 mags and then flawless after that. I am going to run some Gold Dot 124 grain and Federal 147 HST both standard pressure through it to see how it does. Kahr does put out quality work from what I have seen. |

Since you probably don't know for certain how many rounds were through it, these mini-guns are hard on springs, I recommend ordering a new recoil spring from Kahr and replace the one in it.
Buy ONLY a new Kahr factory spring, NO after market or extra power springs. That very often causes problems where there are none. |

I too prefer the PM9 over the G43. They're both +P rated. I carry 124gr Speer GDHP +P SB (Short Barrel) in mine. The good thing about the PM9 vs the CM9 is that it's practically guaranteed not to break due to suffering a sudden part failure, while with the CM9 that's technically possible. |
