Pro-Mag Kahr P9 magazines worked!

[wally]

Given I've had more Pro-Mags that didn't work than did over the years, I felt I might be making a mistake, but I tried one 8-round and one 7-round Kahr P9 on my last Midway order. At less than half the price of what Kahr wants, I figured I'd take a chance as Midway is pretty good about returns.

I'm happy to report both worked 100%, fed from slide lock and n+1 loadings and locked back on the last shot everytime in my CW9. Three times for each mag. Not an exhaustive test, but my other bad experiences with Pro-Mags never got this far and the few that worked have been fine. I used Monach steel cased FMJ, these are basically the same as the old lacquer coated Wolf. My P9 does well with them (first failure was last time out somewhere in the 500-600 round range which I took to mean time to takedown for a complete cleaning, whcih I did before todays outing). Since they have significently more friction in the mags than brass cased ammo, I figured this would be a good test as if they work with this ammo they'll probably work with anything.

wow i didn't know that they were making kahr magazines, but it is definetly a welcome, kahr mag prices are crazy high, which makes no since to me, considering that they are single stack non hi-cap magazines. i had two pro-mag's for my ruger p95 and they worked fine for me, so i might have to look into getting a few for my kahr k40. i love the pistol but it gets tiresome reloading the 6 rd magazines so often, and it dosen't help that i only have two of them. thanks for the review and inlighting me that they were making them, glad they worked out for you. thanks again.

Haven't seen any .40 Kahr mags in the Pro-Mag listings. If my two were not a fluke, I'd like to see them make some. Crazy high is on the money for Kahr magazine prices, occasionally I see them for about $30 at gun shows but even this is pretty ridiculous for single stack.

As I said I've had more bad Pro-Mags than good over the years, but I'd love to find out they've turned it around as pretty much all factory magazine prices are a gouge! I like to have enough mags to load up at least 50-100 rounds in air-conditioned comfort before heading to the range so I don't have to stand in the heat and sweat while stuffing mags after every string of fire.
