Review: Kahr PM40 Pistol with Laser

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Our pals at gunwebsites.com save the crucial bit for last: this sucker fires .40 S&W. That’s got to be one “snappy” little gun. TTAG’s calling Kahr for a T&E (Testing and Evaluation) weapon as part of our [just invented] mighty mouse gun review series.

  1. Don–I have a first generation P9, which I traded a SIG P239 for. The SIG was a flawless performer, and the Kahr has been every bit its equal.

    I’ve put thousands of rounds through it, everything from range ammo reloads to el cheapo Wolf, to Glasers, Cor-Bon, and my carry load, 115 gr. Silvertips. I’ve never had a malfunction.

    Everybody can get a lemon, but in my experience Kahr is just as good as the other major manufacturers. Of course, I bought mine when they weren’t ridiculously expensive. Now I think they’re too expensive.

  2. I’ve owned a PM9 for several years now, my daily carry. I have well over 2500 rounds through it and it is on it’s 2nd recoil spring (recommended round count before preventative replacement is 1200-1500, changed mine at 2000). In that time, I’ve had zero FTF, FTE, FTL. I did follow the 200 round break in period with regard to chambering a round with slide release only. After this period, slingshoting the slide became easier and smoother. I now have very smooth and crisp racks with personal protection hollow points, which are obviously more difficult to chamber up any ramp design. I starting inquiring about the recoil spring when the slide seemed to start hesitating to come fully into battery but, bottom line, zero failures of any kind and working on 3000 rounds. I trust it with my and my family’s life daily.
