I am new and this is my first post on the forum, a big thanks to all of you for your info. It helped me make an informed decision to go with a Kahn verses a KelTec for off-duty carry. I have been carrying an S&W M&P 40 compacted and look forward to carrying a slimmer, smaller, liter weapon off duty.
Last week I took ownership of a new PM9. Yesterday I finely made it out to an indoor range to begin the 200 round break-in. It fired 120 rounds flawlessly. Not one single problem. 100 rounds of Federal 115 grain FMJ and 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 147 grain hallow points. Every round chambered, fired and ejected flawlessly, which made me very happy.
+The firearm ejected the every spend casing out to the side, not one hit me in the face or my body at all for that matter.
+The recoil is what I would expect for this type of gun. I didn't feel that is what unmanageable and never hurt my hand. Today my hand feels fine.
+/- I have never shot through this particular sighting system before. The white box in the back and white dot in the front took some getting used to. Initially my rounds where low at 7 yards (lower 9 ring, man silhouette target.) So getting used to this sight system just takes some getting used to. 30 rounds in, I was hitting 10s at 7 yards.
- I am not wild about the trigger pull. I was hoping there would be some sort of break you would feel on the last bit of the pull so you know when the round was going to fire. Again, just took some getting used to and was easy to finger out with some practice. It kind of reminded me of shooting a double action revolver. This is probably another contributing factor why my rounds where a bit low. I found myself anticipating the fire.
FYI: I read in the manual that you need to charge the firearm by locking the slide back, insert the mag, and then release the slide to chamber the round. I tried manually "racking" a round in and the firearm would not fully charge. I don't think this is really a problem, just wanted to make a point that it's important to know the functions of your firearm.
Overall, I am very please with the firearm and how it performed for the first 120 rounds. I look forward to taking it out again next week.
