looking to sell my PM9 and PM40.. Need advice.

Not to derail,

But the SK was just one of those things, it's allure & sex appeal was way to powerful for me to resist (not to mention its buttery action).

Some times you just have to have what you want...

All joking a side, just having a little fun, I too am a stickler for details and it drives me insane when something I own has an issue, I focus on that issue for ever

You must be a hoot after buying a new Car I do not know too many vehicles that do not have orange peel or some other minor issue.

In allglock's case, apparently, he is the only one that can see the issues so we are not really sure what he is upset about.

I bought a Colt 1911 a while back. After 500 rounds, the front site fell off. When cleaning the Colt, I noticed the rifling was real shallow from end of the chamber to about halfway down the barrel. Would I have liked to see perfect rifling all the way down the barrel? Of course! However, the gun shoots so well, I do not want to change a thing. there is an old saying..... If it aint broke, don't fix it!

Anytime you would like to come over to examine it, you are more than welcome... BTW I already posted a picture of the "Botched" job the service damager did on the gun.... Do a search........
To clarify once again... I didnt buy it looking like sh*t, so why does Kahr feel they can make it look like sh*t ??, and me be accepting of it??

If it was good in the first place, why did you send it in? Just curious.

I just looked at my CW40 and .45 and they have similiar imperfections if you look close enough. Of course these are much cheaper guns, and I suppose you can expect some imperfections on those models. I've never noticed them before, I was much more interested in how they performed. I don't see what the problem is as long as the guns perform well. I got to looking at my other guns, and they all have some imperfection in the lettering somewhere. Beretta's, Kimbers, Springfield Armory.
Have you checked your Glocks that closely, I imagine you can find some imperfection if you look close enough.

Ahhh, you're 'that' guy... forgot about that thread.

I just got it back today, and all looks good! I hope I will never need to send it back again! I really like this little pocket rocket!
Thanks to all at Kahr service (Ian, Rich, Jay, Doug, and all of the Techs that worked on it), for fighting through this, and fixing it right!
I was without the gun for almost 2 months total, but the final product was worth it.

I'm really confused.

yeah i know exactly what you mean.... i'll get another hk one day, but prob a compact again in 40 or 45.

Armslist.com is a great way to sell guns. That way you can limit your buyers to a specific area and can set up a face to face transaction so you don't need to ship to a FFL, unless your laws forbid that type of thing.

At that point of the journey, all looked good... until I went out and shot it ,and found the slide stop lever was still rubbing the slide.........

Since, I will never do buisness with Kahr EVER again, I am looking to sell my PM9 and PM40. Both have night sights and have shot flawlessly. Both are like new, except for the PM40, which, Kahrs service manager screwed up the finish on the slide, and will not fix it right. Let me know what you think I should charge for both? I paid $750 OTD for each. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Dear Unhappy Kahr Owner:

The pocket 9mm market is evolving as we speak. The CM9 I believe has killed the PM9 price point. Look at this from a consumer. Why would I pay $500-$600 for a used PM9 when I can buy a brand new CM9 for $400? What is even more sobering is the new competition. I just put down $409 out the door for a new Beretta Nano. I have no idea if it is going to be reliable, but if it delivers the goods which firearm would you purchase? $600- $700 Kahr PM9 or a Beretta Nano for low $400? (The 9mm Nano I was told will have a 40 caliber conversion kit available at the end of this year. If true your 40 caliber Kahr will also soon drop in value.)

I feel your frustration, I owned a CM9 and the after market night sight Kahr installed kept breaking off. I devoted hours calling Kahr and shipping the gun back three times in three months. They could never figure out why the front sight kept breaking so they refunded my money. I earned ever dime of that refund with the hours I devoted and I am relieved I got that headache out of my life. I also feel very fortunate for the refund because I know the high end pocket 9mm market is over.

Honestly, I wish they could have fixed the sight problem. I loved how well made the CM9 was and how it concealed in my pocket. In short it was the perfect concealed gun until I fired it.

What I am hoping with the new competition is not only lower prices, but more reliable concealed firearms. I want to know that if the need arises I can trust my family and my life with the firearm I am packing. The CM9 had just enough FTF (2%) in addition to the sight breaking to leave a question mark in my mind.

Good Luck and I hope you are able to sell your firearms for what you hope to make. My only advise would be sell now if you want to maximize your return and be willing to drop the price. Knowing you can always score a Beretta in the low $400 range may make it less painful to drop the price. Russ

Sold both of them today... GOOODBYE KAHR ARMS, and Goodbye Kahrtalk!

Looks like the end of a bad chapter in the book of kahrtalk here so I'll just close this one.
