Hello. Here is my story:
Actually, I will be picking up my PM9 today. It was sitting in the gun store case for only a few weeks. I was going for the P380, but there were none in stock. I traded in my Kel Tec P3AT pistol for this gun. I don't have a problem with the .380 caliber, but after owning this Kel Tec for about 8 months, I can't get past the fact that it feels like I am carrying a toy. Plus, after putting 200 rounds through it, I had 2 FTF and 1 FTE (not bad), but the recoil springs were bent after that, and I had to replace them. I also had an issue with a wear issue on the frame that is caused by ejected cases hitting the frame. Kel Tec said this is normal and present on all their guns. What is normal for some is not acceptable to me. I wanted a more solidly built weapon - even if that means paying more money. You can't put a price on your life or the lives of loved ones. Mentally, I just don't feel safe and secure with the Kel Tec (to each their own), so it is better for me to part with it for something that is, hopefully, much much better. I read through many of these forums and posts, and was secretly hoping that the PM9 would be in stock and not the P380, and I am fortunate.
I needed to be reminded how small the PM9 is - it actually fits in the palm of my hand, and I don't have huge hands just average size.
I will be reading through these forums - again and welcome any tips and recommendations. I will post a range report once I get to one and can try this out. Getting very excited with anticipation.
Thank you.
