Excellent little carry gun. Love the double action trigger. Light weight and great shooter!

Great pistol for every day carry. Small footprint and very accurate

Totally reliable and a accurate. I like the extended mag that it comes with because it allows for a three finger grip for me as I have large hands.

I love this pistol! Great for CCW. I put over 200 rounds through it so far without one hiccup, both ball and hollow point ammo. Absolutely flawless. The trigger is great for a carry gun. I have an MK40 I got in 2000 and have never been disappointed with Kahr pistols. Buds had a great price on this pistol so I had to have one. I pocket carry with an El Paso Saddlery pocketmax horsehide holster. The gun fully loaed with 124gr Gold Dots weighs 19.5 oz so it works great for pocket carry. Great gun at a great price. Very happy with this purchase. Buds was great as always. EXCELLENT!

I ordered the PM9 on Sunday and it arrived at my LGS on Wednesday...no complaints there. I gave it a cursory look before I took it home and it appeared fine [lesson learned]. However, upon closer examination after arriving home I found that the polymer grip frame was not well finished. The front of it had a long string of polymer scraped off of it that was still hanging from one corner...yeah, I missed it. The polymer rails were rough and the rear end of the the grip frame was unfinished, ragged, and thin when compared to my buddy's PM9. Finally, the polymer at the outside of rear end of the grip frame was not flush with the slide, leaving a ledge of about 16th of an inch on the left side only. Unfortunately, the grip frame on my CW380 is better finished than my PM9. I have contacted Kahr and sent pictures; am currently awaiting their response. This is only one story, so it may not be indicative of the company as a whole, but I am very disappointed in the QC on what is supposed to be a premium product.

A great value on a sub-compact 9MM semi automatic. Fit and finish could be better but not for the money. Took it to the range and it shot 200 rounds with NO malfunctions of any kind. Very long trigger pull but no stacking at all. Smooth all the way.

First day out ran 100 rounds through it with no malfunctions. It really liked the way it felt in my hand and it shot very accurate from the first round to the last. I am very happy with this pistol.

When the PM9 I ordered came into my FFL, I gave it a full inspection prior to accepting the transfer - good thing too. What I found after removing the copious amount of oil, was a scratched slide, heavy tool marks on the breech and a polymer frame that was chewed up by either rough handling at the factory, improper fit, or poor finishing (or a combination of the three). I also noticed that the recoil spring was simply snipped off at the last coil and not finished well. The inside of the pistol was covered with polymer shavings that seemed to multiply each time I racked the slide, not to mention leaving shredded polymer strings hanging off the frame. Needless to say, I refused the transfer and contacted Bud's right away. This is my first experience with Kahr and will be my last. Very poor quality control and the worst looking (condition wise) NEW pistol I think I have ever seen. Thanks to Bud's for a relatively pain-free return process thus-far. Was hoping my new Kahr would fill a particular carry niche for me. Instead the new Kahr turned out to be a lemon. I can't speak to all of them, but this one was a disaster.

I had my eye on the PM9 for quite some time. Bud's had a smoking price, so I finally placed my order. I have no regrets whatsoever. I have found most of the chatter on the internet about this gun is true... the fit is tight right out of the box, the sights are easy to pick up, and the trigger is extremely good for this type of firearm. Overall, it has a superb finish inside and out, including the mags. This thing is tiny! I can't get over just how small it is. It is slightly larger than some pocket .380s, but with all the benefits of stepping up to a 9mm. I fired 200 rounds of various ammo the first timeI took it to the range. I did not have a single failure of any kind. Accuracy was surprisingly good for such a small pistol and recoil wasn't too bad at all. This thing is comfortable in the pocket and practically disappears IWB. What else can I say? If you already like some of the other single stack 9mm pistols in this class, then you will probably love the Kahr PM9.

Kahr recommends breaking the PM9 by firing 200 rounds of ammunition. The night before I went to the range, I field stripped the gun. Did a good lubrication of it. As soon as I fired the PM9 I was very impressed with its smoothness. It has a very "big gun" feel in this small package. The trigger is so smooth, you don't know when its going to break. The sights,(non-night) are great. I fired 50 rounds. This was my plan for the first outing. All fired, no issues. After 10 rounds, either the gun or I settled down on the target, tightening the groups, getting on the bullseye. I will go back to the range next week to fire another 50 rounds. I will not clean the gun. I will clean the barrel only after the next 50 rounds. The thing about the 200 round break in period, may have been from earlier Kahr times. I say that because this gun operates so smooth and solidly. I don't think issues will arise, I have with other guns when they were new. Besides being impressed with the shooting of the PM9, I also was as soon as the case was opened. You can see the quality in this firearm. You feel it as soon as you pick it up. I have a Sig 938,Walter PPS, Ruger LC9S, Kahr P380.many more good guns to compare the PM9 too. I think maybe because this gun have been around for several years it is underrated. As far as BudGuns. They have an excellent method of ordering the gun I wanted. I was impressed that shipping only took 2 days. The gun shop/FFL dealer I wanted to use was on there list. The price was very competitive. I recieved excellent service from BudsGuns..

Great carry 9mm! I got it for a good price here at Bud's. I really like how it came with a total of 3 magazines. I did break it in for 2-3 hundred rounds before concealed carrying it. I only had one malfunction with one brand of ammo and I think it was because of the overall length of the round did not let it feed properly. Round length was too long I believe. I don't use that ammo in this pistol and I have had no malfunctions since. Very accurate for such a small piece and conceals nicely IWB. It is also small enough to pocket carry in a cargo pocket for me. My next Kahr will be one of their compact 380's. Thanks again Bud's!

For 3 seasons of a year, I wanted a smaller and lighter 9mm for carry and this is it! Bought this version of the PM9 even though it was a CA Legal. The only difference is the loaded chamber indicator on the side that I barely notice but did notice the huge price difference. I've put about 200 rounds through it since purchase without a failure of any kind. It's a 10 out of 10 for me. I added Pearce Grip Extension on the 2 smaller mags of the 3 mags in the box. Second handgun purchase from Buds and both times all positive.

Nice gun! No problems the first 180 rounds. Bud's very competent!! Have purchased about 4 pistols thru them the past 2 years. Thanks!

Solid little gun. And I mean little, pocketable. Gone through about 400 rounds (200 break in period) without a single hiccup. Was a little tough at first getting used to shooting a small DAO, but the trigger pull is superb, just the right weight and smooth. My groups have been getting smaller and smaller. Quality built too, slide, barrel and frame are tight and smooth, no rattle at all even locked back. Now the only two draw backs I've found. Stiff recoil spring, got a bit easier, but it takes a hard pull to rack it. ...and the price, it's not cheap, but I've found most of the time, you get what you pay for.

The Bud’s purchasing process was, as usual, painless and fast. I have purchased several firearms from Bud’s over the past two years and have never been disappointed with their prices and service. The Kahr PM9 I received was a beautifully finished work of art. Before going to the range, I disassembled the pistol and lubricated it. The Kahr’s insides were machined and finished as beautifully as the pistol’s exterior. I finally got some time to go to the range and the little Kahr PM9 was truly impressive. I have been shooting for over 60 years, hunting, in competition, and for fun. Along the way, I have fired a lot of handguns and I can honestly say I have never had a small handgun shoot as well, out of the box, as the Kahr PM9. Kahr recommends firing at least 200 rounds to guarantee reliability, before carrying their guns for personal protection. At the range, I fired 300 rounds, with 100% reliability. That’s a LOT of magazine reloads, with 6-round mags (thank God for UpLula mag Loaders!). There were no problems whatsoever. I began the range session by firing several mags of FMJ rounds (Federal American Eagle 124 gr. and 115 g., Aguila 124 gr., and HPR 115 gr.). I then fired several brands of defensive hollow points, sometimes even mixing different brands in the same mags (Federal 124 gr. HydraShok, Hornady Critical Defense 115 gr. FTX, SigSauer V-Crown 115 gr., Speer Gold Dot 124 gr. and 147 gr., and Remington 124 gr. Ultimate Defense). The Kahr PM9 never missed a beat and accuracy was amazing, especially considering the size of the gun. Slow fire resulted in almost single-hole accuracy at 7 yards and cloverleaf shot groups at 10 yards, with several of the loads. The trigger, great in the beginning, got even better as the range session progressed. Trigger reset was extremely short and double taps were incredibly easy and fast. I don’t own a shot timer, but I believe double taps were as fast or faster than those I can do with my full-size Walther PPQ M2 9mm pistol. Felt recoil was negligible. I was so impressed with this pistol that I just ordered a Kahr MK9 for my shooting/concealed carry collection.

Sadly, my first Kahr PM9 was stolen. The night after I reported it to the cops, I got online and ordered a replacement. No hesitation, no question! The PM9 is a small pistol, easily fits in jeans front pocket. My first one, I got used... and it never ever failed me. Shot 100 percent for hundreds of rounds. This particular pistol, as its replacement, did have a small issue that I was able to correct at home - which was the exact placement and adjustment of the slide stop spring. The slide stop was not being held into the frame very well - the spring was not quite right. Easy fix, took five minutes with a small torx driver. Accuracy of the PM9's is outstanding. This gun had a few ejection problems at first, in the first box of WWB ammo. After that... smooth sailin' So far, about 450rounds of no issues at all. The trigger on this one is also better than my first one. This one is like an icecube sliding on a wet piece of glass. No stacking... just pull... and bang. VERY satisfied with Kahr, this is my 4th Kahr, the others being PM45s (and the stolen PM9) Buds... fantastic to deal with. Fast and good communication. No issues ever with Bud's.

I will start by saying Buds was excellent as usual with this firearm, and the price I was able to buy this gun for was unbelievable. I do have to take issue with Kahr as a company. While the gun itself arrived in excellent condition and will be a great pocket gun it only shipped with two magazines. According to Kahrs website and their email response to my email, the PM9 started shipping with three magazines in March of 2014. When I questioned why my firearm purchased in February 2015 did not come with the third magazine I was told my weapon was made in August 2013 and doesn't qualify. While I highly doubt that Buds has inventory like this sitting around for a year and half l am still disappointed that Kahr refused to make it right. So the weapon itself and Buds get 5 stars but Kahr as a company gets 2 or 3 at best.

Purchased my Kahr PM9 from Bud's on 12/29/2015. Firearm arrived at my FFL on time, no issues with shipping. ABSOLUTE BEST PRICE from Bud's, hands down. The pistol was in perfect shape. I put the recommended 200 rounds through it with no issues whatsoever (Aguila 124g ball ammo). I will say the trigger is a bit longer than my Glock 19, but this thing is a sweet shooter. Also, if you plan to put more than a few rounds through this pistol at a time, you might want to go for some Talon grips. The checkering on the grip is very aggressive and will imprint on your hand with a lot of shooting. Overall, great first experience from Bud's. I will definitely purchase from them again.

Purchased my Kahr PM9 from Bud's on 12/4 and picked it up from my FFL on 12/12. Typical good service from Bud's, especially during the Christmas season. Went to the range today (12/15) and put the recommended 200 rounds through the PM9 for break-in purposes. I used a mix of 115 grain fmj, 124 grain fmj, 115 grain Hornady Critical Defense and 124 grain Speer Gold Dots. I am happy to report not one single FTF or FTE. It ran flawlessly. The gun is quite comfortable to shoot despite the bear paws that I have for hands. Muzzle flip is manageable. I shot from about 10 yards and was able to get good groups. I can say the gun is certainly more accurate than I am. I'll need more practice as I don't have much range time with pocket sized pistols. Speaking of pockets, this little gem of a weapon slips very nicely into a coat pocket or large pant pocket.... including my DiSantis Nemesis holster. Just what I was needing for the times I do not want to go IWB with my Glock 30S or 23. This Kahr is a high quality gun. It's very slim, light in weight and handy. So far I am very pleased. If you're looking for a pocket sized pistol that is chambered in 9mm, then you should have a look at the Kahr PM9.

Great firearm. Shot first 200 rounds through it today at range. Great control over a sub compact. I was extremely surprised with how well made this firearm is. My hats off to Kahr and Buds who was great as usual. Now I just need to leave the republic of NJ so I can actually carry it..

This is not only a well made, but a great shooting gun. Well balanced and very easy to carry, you can forget you have it on. This is a must have weapon, order your today, I have absolutely no disappointments with this one at over 800 round it's flawless I hope this helps as I was a sceptic. Additionally you will get a great price and fast shipping from Buds!

Pros: Love the trigger pull. Very smooth. It is Still light weight even with a fully loaded magazine. Perfect size for CCH. Surprisingly mild recoil for a 9mm which is great because I am a woman. Not too difficult to dismantle for cleaning. Cons: TWO BIG ONES: 1. Polymer Rails. VERY little stainless and only at the place where the hammer would be if it had one. From there forward, rails are PLASTIC (polymer). 2, If the magazine is fully loaded, the first round will NOT load and it has to be removed manually. I contacted KHAR and they told me to load the magazine with one less round. This does work, but IO don't see why this should have to be done to make the handgun fire correctly. Another con, the slide if difficult to pull back to load ther chamber and seems tostick slightly half way back. definitely not a smooth action. Its ticks where the pin is located. I don't like the sights. It is difficult for me to line up the dots so my accuracy is not as good as it should be. All-in-all, I would reasearch small CCHs before I decided to buy the Kahr Pm9 9mm. If I had, I probably would not have bought it.

I bought my PM9 for CC use and I needed to break it in. I followed the prep thread over on the Kahr forums. I wasn't too concerned about accuracy. I mainly wanted to make sure it cycled flawlessly. Ammo I used was some Federal FMJ. I went through 200 rounds and all of them cycled flawlessly except one. I had a FTF and the slide locked back. When I checked the chamber the round was nose down in the magazine. I ejected the magazine and reinserted it. Released the slide and it fired every round after that without any more failures. Even though I wasn't focused on accuracy, I did check my groupings. At 7 yards I was getting groupings at about 6 inches and 7 inches at 10 yards. This gun has a fair amount of recoil and the trigger pull is long. It will take you some time to get used to it. I was aware of this potential issue before I bought the gun. The issue is that you might have a problem with the bullet catching the slide lever causing the slide to lock back and a FTF. I had checked and it looked like clearance was good on both the range FMJ and defensive JHP I have. As such when I got home from the range I broke it down and filed down the slide lever ever so slightly. Now I just need to get back to the range to test it again to see if I get another failure. Don't worry though, if you're thinking about buying the PM9 don't let this throw you off. If you experience this problem you don't need to do what I did as you can just have Kahr send you another slide lever to resolve the issue. Overall I'm VERY happy with the gun. However, I've decided I need more magazines to take to the range. Two just doesn't cut it.
