How many Lawmen use Kahr for back up or off duty.

[green02crew]

I carry my PM9 IWB off duty and in pocket holster as a backup when on duty.

We have two officers with PM9s the DLC. They have had them probably close to 2 years now. Neither officer did any prep, not sure they even cleaned them before they took them up shot a little and did a qual.
Neither has had any mentioned issues. They are carried for on duty backup and off duty.
I'm not sure either has 300 rounds thru it yet. I sometimes worry if they have shot them enough to be reliable but apparently they are confident in them so I try to keep my worries to myself.

Sadly I failed to talk this latest officer out of the Taurus for a CM. He had it in his head thats' what he wants. He's an idiot but also a good friend. I know friends shouldn't let friends do stuff like this but I did the best I could.

Well, now I know who the LEOs are on this forum...

A little off-topic, but some of you guys might find this interesting. Even "the best" may not be. http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/02/...nreliable.html

Hmm, me thinks a little hinky pinky is going on there. Sigs used up in like 5 years? Funny the director didn't have any issues with his Kimber and many bought them even though they were unreliable. Wonder if those were from the old external extractor days that Kimber suffered thru. Might be.

[deadhead1971]

some of those exact same Kimbers (3" and 4") are at a local shop. I have held one. They are selling for $1,250 plus tax. Ouch. Too much. This particulat shop is not a Kimber dealer. They got the guns in a deal / trade. When I asked them about the history, they had no clue. Also, I asked to see one of the 3" models (ultra), and the guy behind the counter said, which ones are they. I had to point out the ultra. Red flag. I ended up with a Kimber Raptor from another shop. I'll post my review in the appropriate thread maybe later.

Since others have outed themselves.... I carry a PM9 as my covert weapon. I liked another brand for a long time but M insisted I give it a try. It proved itself when I was jumped by a battalion of hostels and held them off with the 6 round mag M had modified to grow additional rounds until I could activate the rocket pack I carried in my back pocket.

Since then I wouldn't part with my PM9, no matter how hard Moneypenny tries to seduce it away from me.

Shaken, not stirred.

My PM9 shares off duty time with my M&P 340, IWB or in a pocket, during warmer weather. Mostly carry a Glock 26 or Glock 23 during cooler weather in paddle or belt slide holsters.

I'm not a LEO, but my brother in law is.....hey that reminds me that I once slept in a Holiday Inn Suites once...
Any way, I try and carry either my PM45 or Kimber Ultra raptor as my promary withmy PM9 in my rt front pcket holster, and somtines either a BU of a Sig 238 or my little NAA "PUG" 22 magnum in my left front pocket. The only problem I have now is keeping my britches up wher they belong.....????
Sooo many fine guns and soooo little time.

[Bawanna]

Thats the sad thing, you carry one, you wanna carry em all.

I sort of have my own version of no child left behind but you reach a point where its just too much to carry.

Seeems NC ALE doesn't get it...what just a couple of years ago they suffered all kind of scorn because they had spent a bundle on SIG assualt rifles for every officer when the NC State Patrol didn't even have them.
Now who would you think needs it more...hmmm.

Well the censor got me- replace the ******* above with the common term for a dumb donkey, 7 letters
Ya'll gotta go read it especially the part about securing their weapons with their handcuffs cause they kept getting stolen out of their unlocked cars....then one shoots himself putting the cuffs on his gun, whereby they were then instructed to unload them first

[Suthrncop66]

pm 40 for off duty carry..had an xdsc but prefer the kahr....carry a sig 238 to back the kahr but thinking of going to a pm9 for a off duty back up

[mser]

PM9 and/or P380 as backup and off duty.

[JFootin]

CM9, and you'll have enough money left over to buy an IWB and a pocket holster for it. Plus, 9mm is a much more potent round than 380.
