Just picked up a Kahr PM9 a few days back, with the stainless slide and no night sites. I put 150 rds of WWB through it, with ZERO hiccups or issues. I am impressed with this little gun. After being on the receiving end of the recoil from my Kel-tec 3AT, I was prepared for some mangled hands. I was pleasantly surprised. It was snappy, but easily controllable. After another 50 or so, I'll start in with the JHP's.
Accuracy was good, at least for me. At 7 and 15 yds I was shooting "fist sized" groups I'd say, with a few flyers here and there. It'll probably get better once I get more familiar with it and get some better ammo.
On another note, I finally found the "fix" for the 3AT's FTE issues I was having.....Speer Gold dot. Exclusively. I've put 80 rds of GD through this Kel-Tec, with zero malfunctions. Corbon=FTE's; Fed Hydrashok=FTE's; WWB=FTE's and FTF's; Remington FMJ=FTE's and FTF's. You name the ammo, I tried it in this little gun. I was going to send it back to KelTec if it didn't work with the GD's. Now that it does, I think I'll be keeping it, and just feeding it the ammo it likes now and then to make sure it's working right, and relegating it to a strictly BUG/shoot sometimes gun.
