New Old PM9 Blunt

[Tpepper70]

Well Jocko, can I join the blunt nose club now? Traded my TriStar C100 for it. Gonna pick it up Monday. 1 owner, less than 500 rounds thru it and owner said it has sat in the safe for at least 5 years. I think I did good.

I'd say you done real good.

You are killing me. Been scanning for one of those for a long, long time. Found a couple at a LGS recently and they wanted a lot of $$$ for them. I think they understood how rare they are around here. Enjoy it.

Thanks guys. What are the values elsewhere? I've seen PM9's going for around $500 here in Texas, but haven't paid much attention to the slide. I got lucky.

The two I saw were north of that. You got real lucky.

[Tpepper70]

Good deal. Wasn't sure. This is the 1st blunt I've seen, and 1st PM9 with a laser. I pick it up Monday. Thanks guys, and thanks for a wonderful forum. I've learned so much here.

I went back to the LGS today expecting to see both of those PMJ9's still in the used gun case. But both were gone. I guess they were worth it. You done real good!

Dang it the bad luck. I made the trade for mine today and have to say I'm happy. I didn't have any snap caps so used a pencil to test the striker. It didn't launch the pistol near as hard as my CM9, but still pushed it out if the barrel. Plus the laser was way off according to the iron sights. Got home, cleaned it real good mainly the striker channel because it was real dirty, lubed it up good, and checked pencil again. It launched it better but not as good as my CM9. I chalk that up to many more rounds thru the PM9. I couldn't shoot because neighbors cattle were behind my berm so I tried some primered cases and all fired good. I use S&B primers which are supposedly harder. I installed a new battery in the CT laser, mounted and adjusted it. Seems real close to the iron sights but won't know for sure till I shoot it. Overall, very happy. Can't wait to shoot it. I'll try to get some good pics for you guys.

Glad to see the previous owner is a law abiding citizen and put the laser labels on the gun as required. I always wondered how the heck the bad guys were supposed to read those warnings though.

[Tpepper70]

Yeah. Not knowing much about lasers, when I looked at the pic he sent me, I asked what the label was. Then I felt like a dumb butt. Haha. Now I know.

Well, got home today and was able to fire some rounds thru it. Shot 14 rounds of 147gr HST and 100 rounds of my reloads. I went thru about 30 rounds trying to figure out the laser. Not a fan. I'd get it zeroed, it would hold for about 3 shots then go way off. I tightened stuff, adjusted and just no luck. I changed targets and took the laser off. All these were from 7-10 yards with my reloads. I'm still not a crack shot, but I'm getting better. No issues at all. Just a smooth shooter. Here's a few pics.
