PM9 My First Kahr.... Probably Not My Last

[Ranger]

Congrats on your PM9, and welcome to the forum!

You mentioned loading with a loader... a little habit i've gotten into (with all guns that use a magazine) is to load it all up (by hand), then wack the back side of the mag (where the primers sit) against the hard meaty "palm strike" part of your hand. It'll slam all the rounds back where they should be just in case theres any wiggle room. Does it actually do anything? I have no idea. It just makes me feel better.

Thanks for the heads-up. I always do that with my AR mags. Just habit I suppose.

Welcome to the forum, Ranger. I don't know if I've already posted this for you, but here's some info:

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.

There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!
