Best Kahr and Why??

[BobR]

Heh BobR. Port that little PM40 and enjoy it alot more. ur right though that 40 cal in such a small lightweight is a hand full...Ijust never could cozy up the the 40 cals.

Hi Jocko, it isn't mine to port, but a friends. He is a larger guy than me, and it works OK for him - me, I am dead average for a 1940's era guy (born 20 years to late), height, weight when I was younger, and shoe size. I used to be able to fit in all the surplus uniforms that were too small for my other friends, which would have given me an edge in WWII reenactment.

really like my ma compliant pm9 as a daily carry. wish i could buy some of the other models but they arent "safe" enough for sale in MA.

[jocko]

the K series is just kahrs best but a few ounces compared to what. A K9 weights 25 ounces with mag. a PM9 weights 15.9 with magazine, that is a bundle. no matter how you say it..

Only have tried and own, P45 and PM40 like um both. Thinking a PM45 would keep me in the same caliber, and I am a 45APC guy. Intellectually, I believe the 40 is the best overall pocket carry, and/or BUG. Still like the 45.

I settled on the 40S&W as my caliber because I have confidence in the caliber. Simply put, NO ONE ever questions the 40S&W's ability, nor that of the 45. (I simply lacked complete confidence in the 380 auto and the 9mm...but that is just me. ) I wanted a semi auto, so I settled on the Kahr PM4044N because it is the most compact semi I could find on the market in this caliber. I picked the PM4044N with a CTL for its' size, weight and concealment qualities, trigger, night sights, color and mag selections. I find it to be great for pocket carry and great for concealment. It is a very accurate and versatile personal defense handgun. It is a very pleasant handgun to shoot. Try one for yourself. The more you shoot it, the more confidence you build and the more you will love it. You will hear others complain about the PM40 being too much for them. If you believe you fall into that category, then maybe the 9mm or 380 is right for you.
The sword you carry is not something that is to be disputed. It is a personal thing.

I can see me getting a PM9 someday....

For those days when my outfit just will not work with a bigger gun...

30K round count in a PM9. That's amazing, but surely believable
at the same time. What a test bed !

Jocko - Could you give a rough run down of the parts you've
had to replace, or anything other than standard maintenance
on this gun, along with the round count at the part change/repair ?

thanks ! Chris

problems. changed recoil springs numerous times. Mag springs a few times, kinda lost count of each, Had two cracked magazine followers that never gave an issue until I took the magazines apart to clean them and the follower fell apart. Other than that, I did put in a 5# striker spirng from the git go and have never rereplaced it. Noting else has broken, or worn either. They are built like a damn tank and it you look at the kahr slide and glock slides they are very closely made. just top quality. I never tried to shoot my PM9 for high round count, just worked out that way. It ismy favorite gun to shoot over every gun I own, due to it being my 24/7 carry peace, I want to know every damn thing about it. If it didn't like butter I would change to margarine. I want to keep it happy so it can keep me happy... Never have touched the slide lock spring, not one time, put it in properly and u will never have to go to that area for nadda... I did put xs big dots on it .. Love um, can't hit sh-t with um beyond 15 yards but I never could hit jack sh-t with um with regualr sights!!!! Guys here will attest, ol jocko is not a shooter.. He shoots alot but is not a shooter..

Since I only have one Kahr. It is the one that I like best.
PM40.

I got interested in 40 after a friend gave me 160 pounds of 40sw brass.
I probably won't get another larger one as I have those bases covered by Glock.

K9 2003 Elite. It is accurate, comfortable to shoot and has never jammed.

I second that. It is as accurate as anything I've ever fired. It's hard to ask anything more.

[jocko]

wellu certainly have the best looking and probalby the best made kahr made to.

I'll chime in now, I own a P45, dream of a K40, and heaven help us a K45. Then again, I need to look at the PM and MK series, and as long as the calibers at least start with a 4 I'm aboard.

[Catshooter]

Are you kidding!?! It has to be the one, the only PM 45! There can be no queston actually. Sorry.

A six shot .45 the size of a PPK? That also weighs less? Yikes. That's a feat of engineering, to be sure.

Mine took to some work and one trip back to the mothership to get it fully on board, but it was worth it. I wouldn't want it to be my only pistol, but it sure fills a spot in the line up.

I've owned a K9, K40, MK9, P9 Covert, (3) PM9, PM40, PM45, P45, and a P380. I currently own the third PM9 now. I know you said favorite but my personally favorites are the K40, P45, PM40, PM9, and P380
