Kahr PM9 Shooting Improving - May Keep It (Pics)

[StrikeFire83]

Hello, all.

I've been having trouble getting acceptable accuracy from my Kahr PM9, my fault, not the gun's. Well, it seems that things are getting better as I've adjusted my grip and have practiced dryfiring at the TV for quite some time.

Here's a picture of my Kahr PM9 target at 7 yards, fired quickly offhand from low ready.



For comparison, here are the targets for my CZ-75b and Glock 17 fired from 7 yards under the same conditions.

Just post those on your front door, to keep the burglars away.

You're right handed, right?

Looks like you use too much trigger finger on the little PM9...

I hate to speculate, but darn it, I just did.

Yep, right handed. You got it. Believe me, if you'd seen my earlier targets it's a major improvemnt. It's just such a tiny gun.

The Kahr is a wonderful little pistol. I shoot mine fine but it's not as easy as aiming a full sized or even mid sized model. I shoot compact (what i'd call mid-sized pistols) pretty much better than even full sized ones. I carry my PM9 almost full time and love it's trigger and overall feel. it handles the 9mm recoil very well.

I think you'll get used to yours. It's a terrific pistol.

Basically, I just gave up trying to get used to the extended 7 round mag. My first two fingers barely fit on grip, but I can get a good grasp on the gun with a two handed hold and my pinky dangling.

But with the 7 rounder my pinky and hand seem to transfer the recoil to the bottom of the mag extension, causing the gun to flip a whole lot more.

Add to that the fact that the only failures I've ever had with the Kahr have occured when using the extended mag.

Anyone want to trade a 7 round kahr mag for one of the flush fit 6 rounders??
