Is your MK9 ammo sensitive?

[O'Dell]

Out of all the pistols I've had in the ten years or so, only two were ammo sensitive - a KT PF9 several years ago and my Detonics. That's counting all seven Kahrs including an MK40. The Detonics needs hot ammo to eject properly. I will add that I never shoot reloads or non-brass cased ammunition.

I just finished squeezing off 100 Winchester Ranger Bonded 180 gr HPs with my MK40.
Absolutely flawless function, glassy trigger and outstanding accuracy.

I know I complain about break in with my Kahr.
But now with that behind me, I must say it was worth it.
This truly is a work of art little machine
that I would trust my life on to operate properly when in harms way.

barth, and thatis the nice thing about the breaki. like it or not kahrts do need it to get even smoother. Most all guns need it, some just never valluj break in rounds, which is OK, but kahrs after a copule hundred rounds to almost all owners feel totally different that round #1, so any discontent as u stated soon goes away for one can certainly feel the difference and that is the important thing.

As Oj'Dell stated ad Ihave also for hundreds of times. Kahrs are not ammo sensitive. Noramaly during break in it might tend to be butr it seems after a few hundred rounds out of the gun the ammo that didn't work at first now runs like a duracell battery. Just sayin

back when Detonics first came out and that has to be 35+ years it seems., we sold a few of them due to their smalls size etc, and they were very very ammo sensitive to.. Just sayin

My MK9 eats anything I throw through her. But my PM9 had an out of spec slide stop that just didn't like anything but 115 gr. ball. Figured out how to file/polish the nose of the slide stop down a bit and she is now 100% reliable with any PD round I put through her.

Because I also shoot 1911s, I've learned that when a reliable gun starts having problems, springs are often the culprit. I first replace all the springs (main spring, hammer spring, firing pin spring, and magazine springs) before going further. In almost all cases, new springs fix the problems.
