I normally use 9mm 124gr HPs in my PM9 but decided to try 147s for fun. I has some 147gr HST and loaded them into my mag. It was a very tight fit and seemed to scrape at times when loading rounds. Also, when I closed the slide on a full mag the rounds seemed to get hung up on the Feed ramp. This only happened when I didn't use the slide release and instead used my hand and eased it closed kind of. Does anyone else have the same findings with 147gr HPs and do they function fine in your SUbcompact Kahrs?? |

Just because they work in one doesn't necessarily mean they will work in another. As far as loading goes, I'm not surprised they are getting hung up when you ease the slide closed because that's not how the weapon is supposed to be operated. Use the slide release, or if your kahr doesn't mind slingshot it. |

Quoted: Slingshot works just fine. I was concerned becasue with my HK I could ease the slide closed as slow as possible and they still would chamber.

But no I haven't shot them yet. until you shoot them, which IMO they will do fine, but if your just messing around with them and have no intentions of using 147 grain, then why worry about it. You stated it worked fine when you used the slide stop release to load that first round, so if that is the case, then you are not yet properly racking the slide correctly. Kahrs are very hard to hand rack, can't compare it to a HK or a Glock, every gun maker has his own way of doing things. Karh recommends using the slide lock release to load that first round. I have thousands of rounds out of my PM9 and to this day the gun is still tight as hell and if I just ride that slide back alittle during a manual reload it will ftf. Not the guns fault IMO. |
