Kahr PM9 Redesign ???

[Seahawk60]

I predict this is going to be a real pain in the ass on these recoil springs for the PM9, bieng now that kahr has two different length slides etc.

What a cluster fook!!!!

Yup...and it very well may not only be the outer recoil spring, either, as I just discovered. I hope that actually WAS an incorrect part and for another pistol, but it's still something to keep an eye out for...and ask Kahr when ordering a replacement.

This goes both ways, too. New PM9 owners will have to make sure they don't end up with shorter springs and/or guide rods when theirs need replacing down the road...

I also feel I should not have to shorten recoil springs when I order them for my PM9. I expect the right length and not a "kit" type spring.

Exactly. Being told to "cut it down" is as about as retarded as ordering two 1911 recoil springs and being sent one long spring. Then being told to cut it in half when you contact "whomever" and ask about it.

Naw, that's not Kahr's MO. I've heard of customers who had magazine problems and Kahr just sent them new ones. The customers asked 'where do I send my old mags to?' and Kahr just told them to keep them for parts, use them for plinking or dump them. Just part of their good customer service...trying to make up for customers who have to repeatedly return these firearms.

Good on Kahr. It really isn't good "relations" for a company to expect customers to send incorrect/malfunctioning parts back, on their own time...and especially on their own dime... Just easier to "let it go" with the parts (unless they're obviously mucho expensive or something), which is exactly what they seem to do...

Okay, I think this thread has stopped being useful. I posted correct price and parts change information. Anyone having issues with Kahr service needs to contact Kahr. They will take care of it, as has been proven/reported on this forum time and time again. Thread closed.
