    Here's my post on the Kahr 9mm mags. The lower right photo shows how long those springs are. That's two mags end-to-end under the springs.

      No I don't have 8rd mags, but I know someone who does and has success with them as well as others here.

      I wish I had a pair of 8rd instead of the 7's which have been perfect over several hundreds of rounds after I modded them. My carry method can handle 8rd as easily as 7rd. But alas I don't and It's not worth it to me to spend the money to buy them.

        I've been thinking about getting a couple 8rd mags for my cm9, glad to hear that they're reliable.

        99% of all pistols produced today are more accurate than 99% of the people using them.

          Put 120 rounds through an eight rounder (PM-9) today, 100 rounds of Federal FMJ and 20 rounds of Federal Personal Defense (PD). They have flat noses, so I wasn't optimistic, but had been kicking around ther house for a while so I figured I'd test them out. Put 96 rounds of FMJ (always a fullly loaded mag) with zero issues, then 16 rounds of the PD with zero issues. Took the last 4 of each and alternated them in the mag. The PD was on top and it nose dived. I cleared it, loaded it back in the mag, and fired them all through without an issue. Not happy with my first nosedive, but not terribly surprised either. I wouldn't carry that flat nosed PD anyway.

            Put several hundred through my 8 rounders Friday. All worked great. When using JHP I could make the bullet hang up on the feed ramp with every single by riding the slide slowly. But when operating the pistol as expected, with over hand powerstroke or slide release, then everything was perfect.

            Before using them I did take them apart and clean the goo.
