I have this one and it does a great job of hiding the outline of the gun. It looks like a wallet in my pocket and costs less money. I have had it for three years and it works great.

That does look nice, but they don't seem to offer a left handed version, and it doesn't look ambidextrous.

Yes, it is abidextrous. The flat flap is attached by velcro so can be put on either side of the holster and can also be moved higher or lower for the best concealment.

Cool!

The K5 kydex pocket holster from Fist is much thinner than leather, and the thumb ledge makes for positive separation of the gun from the holster while still in the pocket with no struggling, catching, etc.

It's my favorite for this application.

The photos in the link do a good job of showing just how thin it is. It completely conceals the profile of the gun and is very comfortable to carry. It is also completely impervious to sweat and requires no break in.

The price is reasonable too at only $6.00 more than the leather one under discussion.

My gun already appears to have a SS guide rod. I don't know if it came in the gun or if the previous owner upgraded it.

PM series guns have always had SS recoil spring assembles as far as I know. And, they are only $24 if you have a problem with one.

Also, they have just introduced a CM9 model. Same frame as the PM9, but MIM slide stop, standard rifled barrel, less machining on the slide, only one 6 round mag, and pinned front sight to name most of the differences.

Well, I went to DPC and ran 100 rounds through my PM9 this afternoon. I really like this gun! It operated without any failures, and it was fairly accurate for such a short little pistol. I shot it both one handed and two handed. My seat of the pants impression of the recoil impulse was that it was no worse than shooting my 3" Kimber—a heavier and more powerful gun.

I was very favorably impressed with my purchase, and I will likely start carrying it.

Congrats! I am quite fond of my PM9.

Yes they do. I've been sitting in a meeting and had the rounds pop out of the mag in my pocket.

Luckily no one else was the wiser.

Make that a plus one! I have had the same issue. Kahr told me to keep one less round in the magazine than full and the angle of the top round would change so it doesn't creep forward!!! I was stunned they told me this was a solution. My response was "so basicly your telling me your six round magazine is acually a five rounder?". This same anomaly is also the reason they recommend using the slide stop to load the first round. Sure enough, when I took one round out I could load the first round by pulling the slide back and letting it go. Check it out when ya'll get a chance. It is true. The top round takes on a different angle when the magazine is fully loaded than it does when it is one round shy.

BTW... Kahr just released a 7 round magazine for their P380. I ordered two of them but have yet to give them a go at the range. It is basicly a magazine with a built in extension. It actually makes holding the grip easier. My pinky doesn't ride below the magazine with the extended mags.

Wow, I've had that same problem with the spare mag for my CW9. Maybe will try downloading it by one round. Thanks for the heads up

Just got in my PM9's little brother. Leaps and bounds better than the P3AT that it replaced. Stainless steel, real Trijicon night sights, a functioning slide catch, slide locks back on last round, and butter smooth trigger.

I've enjoyed my Pm9 except it has a nasty habit of failing to feed every so often at the range.
maybe 1-2 out of 100 rounds regardless of ammo brand or which magazine I use, I'm going to look into the follower fix which i believe also allows you to load the chamber by racking the slide back

great thing is I can throw this in a little pocket holster and head out dressed for the summer heat.

I've ordered a fix for that problem from Kahr Arms—a magazine holder, which another poster in this thread suggested as the cure. With the magazine stuffed into the holder, base upwards, that top round can't move or go anywhere. End of problem.

I've been thinking about a mag pouch as well (for the same reason mentioned), but I'd prefer an iwb mag carrier. Any thoughts on a manufacture on a quality piece?

Gunsamerica is showing actual retail by most sellers, the CM9 at around 100.00-150.00 less than the PM9.
