I'm want to purchase a new Kahr PM9 with the Crimson Trace Laser model PM9093L. Can anyone provide me with the serial number range that I should be looking for to ensure that I get a 2011 manufactured PM9? Thanks.

look for the first two alpha letter to be either IC OR ID and u willhave the lastest made this year..

u moight want to do some research on the ctc laser for the PM9,/CM9 as their laser is not matching up very nicely. the two halves are not mating up right and looking at the gun from the frontj, the laser seems cockeyed. this is a problem that ctc is presently not addressing and just basicaly telling the onwers. JUST LIVE WITH IT.

If u go to my ALERT thread, there is alot more detail and a nice photo showing what I am telling you. If it fits no better than that, I think u willbe sadly dissapointed in the laser, . It works OK it seems being cockeyed, just looks like sh-t ..

HERE U GO;

I find it odd that the two halves don't quite match up from the topview either (note how the problematic right half juts out a couple millimeters mmore than the left, almost as though they are based off of different generations of molds...that's pure speculation on my part, since I have nothing to compare it with, just seems visually odd to me):

I just saw this thread. It has a lot of good info on page 1, thanks to those who put it together.
My recent PM9 purchase is a PM9094NA serial # 1D17XX.
As I'm sure many of you are aware, the manual indicates that the A is for inventory management and currently has NO meaning and is no longer applicable. So, I guess mine was made before they dropped the A but I would like to know when.
I have an e-mail into Kahr service asking when my pistol was made but when or if I might hear from them is anyone's guess.
FWIW, tomorrow will be the first time out for me and the little pistol.

Jim C are u sure that serial number u posted is not an I instead of a 1. If it is an ID17xx u got one of the latest models out. I don't think other than the model on the box that the serial numbers change from a dlc finish PJM9 over a stainless finished gun. Go to glock talk.com and hit on the kahr section and hit on the serial history. It is far mor updated that the one on this site, I would venture to guess ur pm9 is Mid 2011 vintage,

jocko;

Your are correct, it is an I instead of a 1.
My old eyes can't even tell with worn out glasses on! :31:
It is ID17XX and it is a model PM9094NA.

[jocko]

it is this years model for sure and I amsafe insaying probalbly May or later... Hell it might have still felt warm out of the box asit is so new..

[JimC]

I just checked GT and the Kahr Club.
There are no IDXXXX listings as of yet. The closest serial # is IC95XX which was purchased 7/2011.
I guess the ink was still wet on mine when it was shipped.
Interesting what Kahr may tell me if they get back to me.

[JimC]

I just added my PM9 to the list on GT.
Possibly someone will respond with added info.
It's been many years since I posted over there.
I'm surprised that my login info is still valid. I signed up there in 1999!

they would never accept me over there..

[JimC]

Well, I wore out my welcome a long time ago over the GSSF stuff and the AH's from GA that run them. Nuff said...

[JimC]

I received an e-mail from Kahr earlier today advising me that the DOB of my PM9 is 6/22/2011.
