Kahr PM9 Barrel Recall

duke3k · March 7, 2005, 12:10 PM

FYI,

I was doing research on the Kahr PM9's and PM40's and came across this. Don't know if this is old news or not but anyway - If you've got a PM9 check your serial numbers to see if your affected. It's good to see they are taking care of it.

I really like the specs and size of the PM'9s for a CCW and will probably end up getting one (with the new barrel) - would like to get a PM40 but have not heard much about them and what I have heard says this kick like a SOB and have a problem going back into battery - any comments??
