Kahr PM9 Opinions

Any experience or opinions on the Kahr PM9?  I'm intereseted in a small pocket gun and have not really been impressed with the Kel-tecs.

I owned one of the PM9's and could never get it to run right even with FMJ's. A friend bought a CW45 and had to send it back after less than 100 rounds because the trigger wouldn't reset. Kahr wouldn't pick up the shipping and it cost him almost $50 to return it Fed Ex next day. He sold it as soon as he got it back. Stay away from them and buy a Glock. Good luck!

No doubt that the Glock is a great carry gun (that's what I carry 9 out of ten times), but I believe that I read in several articles that KAHR has a recomended break-in period before they become as reliable. Don't quote me, but I believe the company recomended 200 rounds, and malfuncitons were rare, but too frequent for a carry gun.

After the 200 round break in, the guns funcitoned flawlessly. This may be the case with the above poster's reliablitly problems. Those that I have a handled have been very nice little guns indeed. For any semi-auto to fire 200 rounds before I carried it is not much to ask. I bet a lot of us would make any semi-auto that much and more before we carried a personal defense handgun.
