This gun is easily one of the best micro guns I have ever shot.period. I also think it is more accurate and points more natural for me than the Rohrbaugh. The Kahr can also handle +p ammo, which the Rohrbaugh cannot, but I will be sticking to Winchester Silvertips for self defense. It is not quite as small as my Rohrbaugh R9s but I do believe it will indeed replace it as my preferred micro 9mm pistol. You also get all milled parts instead of the MIM slide stop. It is about $200 more expensive than the CW9 but you get a smaller gun and a lot of extra feature and details such as better sights, a better barrel, and a much more polished slide. I am very glad I paid the money for this gun. That is not a flaw, it is the way it is designed so that you can get a hold of it, but it could bother some perfectionists.Īfter all is said and done, I am very impressed. The mag does not sit complete flush with the bottom of the gun either. It did not seem as bad with the PM9 as it did with the CW9, but it still helps to use a glove at the range. I had to put on a shooters glove after the first few mags. Once again, the only real issue I have with the gun is the aggressive checkering on the grip. I have no problems saying that this gun will be able to accommodate the skill level of even the best shots and maybe even help improve the aim of the more "accuracy challenged" among us. That is a real feat for a gun this size in the hands of a mediocre shot like myself. I even managed to hit about 40-50% when shooting at 6" spinners at 25 yards. With the exception of one round I pulled, the gun was right on the mark. The target below is six rounds fired off-hand at 10 yards. I did my tests at 10 yards since this is a close in defensive firearm and it was easy to get small group. I fired 100 rounds through this gun today without a single failure.Īccuracy was another category where this gun surprised me. I have said before that the Kahr guns supposedly require a lengthy break-in period, but all three of mine have been perfect out of the box.
In fact, I almost feel that the smaller PM9 is easier to handle than the larger CW9. I actually had to look and reassure myself I was not shooting the larger CW9 by mistake. I could just not believe I was shooting such a small gun. The gun was not abusive at all and always found it's way back on target with ease. It really was fun to shoot.and that is not something that can be said about many small gun. This gun was much easier to handle than I would have ever expected from a gun this size. The thing I have to mention first is recoil. I am accustomed to shooting "micro" sized guns, I have quite a love for mouse guns, but this gun blew me away. I must admit to being truly amazed at how this gun performed at the range. The gun looks every bit as good as it feels. The attention to detail really shows through. This gun is probably the most finished looking polymer firearm I have ever owned. The tolerances are tight, all the parts fit together very well, and all seams and connections are uniformed and straight. Like most Kahrs, the gun is very well put together. The PM9 is also considerably smaller than the CW9 and comes with two magazines instead of one (6 round flush mag and 7 round extended mag). the MIM slide lock of the CW9 is replace with a two piece milled slide lock.the slide has a great level of detail and finish work,.both front and rear sights are dovetailed,.the barrel is a 1:10 right hand twist polygonal rifled barrel,.The PM9 has several features that the CW9 did not. Magazine capacity: 6 rounds (7 rounds w/extension)
Weight unloaded: 14 ounces + 1.9 ounce magazine Some of the technical specifications are as follows. The gun is a simple DAO style pistol with a lock-breech design. The polymer frame is very simple and sleek. This is a very streamline polymer framed gun designed for ease of carry. The gun has a black polymer frame and a stainless steel slide. In fact it is almost small enough to be considered a 9mm pocket gun. This gun can easily disappear under almost any form of dress. The only 9mm pistol I have ever handles that is smaller is the Rohrbaugh R9s (which is twice the price). The first thing that strikes you about this gun is it's size. I made it to the range with it yesterday with hope that it would impress me as much as it's lower cost sibling. I found one at my local dealer and bought it right away. After testing the gun I was immediately bitten by the " Kahr bug." I just had to run out and buy the Kahr I really wanted.the Kahr PM9. I recently purchased a Kahr CW9 for carrying to the gym. 20 round - Winchester 115gr Silvertip JHP
