Why is it the Kahr manual says not to sling shot the PM9 or the MK9? What is it about the design which necessitates use of the slide lock release?
My guess is that because the slide is so small (although better shaped, with deep serrations, than most guns of its size), people unaccustomed to it may tend to "ride" or "short-stroke" it.
I chose my PM9 because I wanted to pocket carry it. It performs quite well in that role provided your pocket is large enough. I felt the MK9 would tug at my pocket and waistband and be less comfortable, based on experienced with steel small-frame revolvers, which are roughly the same weight.Which would you choose the PW9 or the MK9? I am partial to metal guns myself but for something this small weight matters if I want to pocket carry.
I've found that slingshotting causes the first shot to stray from the group an inch or so, which doesn't happen with a slide-release load. I have an mk9 elite, others may chime in.
Please explain this stray bullet phenomenon
If you can!
