PM9 Locked Slide Problem -- pics of why

[Speedy]

Thanks, thats what i was thinking. I sent back the slide stop lever to kahr so they can file it down for me. Hopefully that will fix the problem

For those of you that have your pistols functioning 100% with fmj ball ammo, but experience premature slide lock with your defense ammo (Speer Gold Dot, Remington Golden Saber etc.) AND you do NOT want to file down the slide stop or do any other tinkering, then I would suggest you consider the Hornady Critical Defense load for your carry load.

The Critical Defense ammo is almost "pointy" in profile. It will clear the slide stop with plenty of room to spare and still give you a good defense load to carry without having to file or polish anything.
