Anyone else get cut on sharp kahr mag lips when loading them? Ran 150 rounds through 2 mags (6 and 7 rounders) the other day and ended up with a bloody thumb. Ouch! JR

From mag size indicated, ya must have a PM9. Yea, mine pretty stiff, but no blood yet. They should get a little easier as more broken in. FWIW, I find it often helps to stabilize the base by putting on bench or next to belly for those last couple ...
Or ya may just have to break down and get some kind of loading tool ... I can't remember just now, but next time at range office, I'll try to get ya the mgr. of a little widget that slips on weak hand thumb and helps to take pressure off while slipping in with strong hand ... They come 3 to a package - for different thumb sizes.

Both my mags are fairly smooth though the last couple rounds are hard-ish to load. Might break down and use something like a fine ceramic rod to break any particularly sharp edges. Go easy though.

Made a quick trip out to range office feed the cat his Easter dinner. Looked this up too: www.magloader.com We keep a set in the firing room for wussies.

Guys if you think this is bad..the bloody/sore thumb thing.....
Just wait until you clean your mags.....BA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Kahr designed these mags to sell ALOT more little mag parts....kidding! It sure seems like it anyway...the mags springs in the 40 mags are longer/stronger than ANY hi cap springs Ive got...the first time I got the baseplate off of one.....I had a bruise on my forehead from the spring and plastic springplate....I never did find the springplate (Its with the socks you lose doing laundry!)
Getting them togethor is a story all by itself.....
Shoot well.

Shot a couple more boxes today and no bloody thumb, just more careful when loading.
Sounds like I don't want to take apart any Kahr mags.

The P9 is my carry gun. The mag lips can actually put deep score lines in the brass of the top round. It is important to rotate the ammo in these mags every so often.
