If you're looking for conceal and carry guns, check out Kahr Arms PM9 pistol. PM9 Specifications. The box says KAHR ARMS PM9, Black Diamond Stainless Steel Slide. PM9094A is the. It sticks out like a sore thumb. (More on that in a. May 13, 2004 You re-assembled it incorrectly. When re-assembling, 1) Put the slide on until it looks normal 2) Insert slide stop thu hole 3) Pull slide stop back until notch lines up. IMPORTANT - when doing this step, push down on the barrel where it ejects casings. You did not perform this step. 4) When notch is lined up.
Wondering if anyone else has a similar problem. I have a Kahr PM9 that's less than a year old. Since day one, if you load the magazine to it's max and rack the slide, the 1st round jams in the magazine and never feeds into the chamber, essentially keeping the slide open and a round stuck.
According to their manual, Kahr insists that you're supposed to chamber the 1st round by locking the slide back, insert the magazine and then release the slide lock. When following their instruction, my problem happens 50% of the time, when I chamber the 1st round like all my other guns, it's 90% of the time. Problem with hollow points is worse. Removing the 1st round (-1 in the magazine) the problem generally goes away).
Any ideas? I contacted Kahr and they sent me a new slide spring and lectured me on the type of ammo I was using, insisting the ammo must be 'US made' which all my ammo is (mostly Winchester White box stuff from Walmart and high-performance personal protection rounds that I typically don't shoot). I have a Kimber and a Sig and have never seen a problem like this. No improvement with the new slide spring BTW.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
