    Kahr PM9 Redesign ???

    Hi, after much research I decided I'm going to buy a pm9. Pouring over various info across the web and found this - "Be informed that a new version of the Kahr PM9 was released 3 weeks ago - October 1. This version is said to have resolved many of the current issues being experienced by PM9 owners. You can identify the new Kahr, PM-9093 by it's new design - with a beveled front end. Manufacturer's cost to dealers has gone up $15 to $20, depending on volume, so this will be reflected in your purchase price. Online, the new Kahr's should be available in the $630 range for low, and at your local gunshop, it will be closer to $780 plus tax. Good luck and happy shooting."

    Is this true, a new design? I planned on purchasing in the next couple days. I guess I'll have to make sure I get a beveled front end?

    Welcome to the forums!
    I haven't heard or read of a new version of the PM9093 being released (other than the MA compliant version).
    Here's the contact page for Kahr: Kahr Arms | Contact us ; they should be able to give you a definitive answer.

    Personally, I think riccardo is blowing smoke during the entirety of his first and (currently) only post on the forum you linked to.

    Regards,

      New version???Hunn, sure sounds like alot of B. S. to me, wonder what all the "current" issues were that is now resolved also.

      someone is pulling your leg stinger.
      that tap[ered side has been seen or other model kahrs months and months ago. If there is a new model I would think they would have a new model number,as fas as cosmetic changes, gun companies do that all the time. Some like the tapered look, some also like the other style..

      Lets see now, isn't glock on their 3rd generation model but yet same model number??? these companies including gun companies do this stuff all the time...

      . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

        "There was a cosmetic change to the slide. There is no difference in the functionality. They made the slide a hair longer to add a more defined beveling to the front of the slide. You would have to order from a dealer who then would order through their distributor.

            remember my thread on the spring? The PM9s have longer recoil springs now.

              Good Lord, someone needs to school Miss Melanie on spelling if she's going to be interacting with the public as a customer rep...

              So, they made the PM9 BIGGER (even if it's just a "hair") purely for cosmetics and NOT functionality?

                Glock is on their 4th gen with some models...with the same model numbers. And, if you know anything about Glocks, the changes go far beyond simple cosmetics.

                Also, a model number is, sometimes, not the same thing as a "model number". How many different "model numbers" are there for the SAME PM9? There's several...

                  Apparently the one I picked up about a month ago was the redesigned version. Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture.

                    The problem with Glock is lately they keep making their guns worse with each subsequent generation. The Gen 2 guns were an improvement functionally over the gen 1, but the third, RTF1, RTF2, and Gen 4 are not an improvement. The Gen 3 finger grooves are too close together and ruined a great grip feel, the RTF guns are horrid, both in look and feel, and the Gen 4 dual recoil spring setup makes the gun slower to return to battery than the previous models while adding a very lame backstrap system.
                    Kahr PM9, P380, T9, CW9, and a crapload of Glocks.

                      can anyone conferm how much longer the slide is ( the pictures look like 1/8-1/4 of an inch)? Does the new version use the same barrel?

                        Comparing mine to the picture it looks like maybe 1/8" longer. Hopefully it won't be enough to effect how it fits in a holster. Looking at the new compared to my old sexy DLC one I'm not sure I care for their improvement.

                            I can't say I'm too fond of the new look, either. It makes it look like the cheaper CW9 with the beveled front of the slide.

                            I got my new "factory cut down" PM9 recoil spring. Looks like they cut on 2.5 coils instead of the one the Kahr factory rep said I should do via email. If anyone cares, I can post pics comparing it next to a brand new "new" PM9 recoil spring/guide rod assembly.

                              gonna guess, probalby a 1/4" longer and yes it would have to have a different length barrel. I personally do not like the new style on the pM9. I would guess were gonna see that also on the PM40. I just don't understand why you made a ultra compact PM9 FOOKING BIGGER!!!!
