kahr does not do that.. it willhave a different number. my understanding from kahr is that a serial numberon a gun lives and dies with that gun. I know kel tek used to restamp a new frame with the old number, so u have two different stories, but for kahr it will be a new number. and there fore have to be sent to a ffl dealer.. whcih then should be rereigestered..

. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

Been there, done that... new frame=new registration, new fee... depending on your FFL. You can shop around for FFL. Most online sites like Gunbroker.com have search engines that can find closest FFLs by zip code and list other info like hours and fees.

I didn't take any pictures before I sent my everyday carry gun off to the good people at Kahr.
Scratches don't open and close when I grip my gun.

My first post and I know this is a relatively dinosaur thread. But I wanted to give my thoughts to the development of the MK frame cracks that used to occur. I have a MK-40 elite98, as well as an early PM-9, both of which I've had for over ten years. My thoughts way back when on this matter is that the crack possibly developed on some examples when using the extended mags that go past the well. Upon firing, the recoil and specifically the muzzle flip is counteracted by the pinky of the shooting hand (aided by the support hand) firmly countering the flip, in an area past the bottom of the frame. At this critical moment, a lot of leveraged stress is violently being pressed against the back of the well for each and every shot. It is a weak point back there and if for any reason the fatigue of multiple shots is too much in this area, a crack can form at the weak point. It obviously doesn't happen to every example, but if it is going to happen, the above scenario will certainly expedite its occurrence and progress.
So one can just use flush mags, or they can do their best to avoid placing counter force on the bottom leading edge of the extended mags. One way to do this is to slip your shooting hand pinky over your support hand knuckles. This will create a two finger hold, rather than a three - the third no longer touching the protruding bottom portion of the mag.
Just an idea. Even if your gun does not display the crack developing, it might be a good idea to avoid possibly encouraging one to develop.Comment
