You may have noticed this is a Custom Carry Package that includes more than just a pistol. This was early on when the gun was still tight and did not recur.
The XS sights are designed for speed, not precision, With a little attention, I had no trouble shooting quarter-size groups at 7 yards! After some 300 rounds, I experienced only one malfunction, a failure to feed a 147-grain Hydra Shok. I was happy to find the standard-velocity 124-grain loads still broke 1000 fps, ensuring reliable expansion and penetration. While recoil was snappy with the hotter loads, I found it considerably easier to shoot than a Smith J-frame with +P ammo. Remington 115-grain Silver Tips, Speer Gold Dot 124-grain +P+, and Federal 124-grain +P+ Hydra Shok were all represented. These ranged from standard 124-grain ball to a variety of self-defense loads. I was able to run over 15 different 9mm loads though the pistol. On the range, the PM9 ran as good as it looked. The result is a pistol that speaks to the good taste and seriousness of the owner. As a final touch, the shop name and the famous mustache logo are etched on the slide. The bright polish on the slide cocking serrations, trigger and slide stop enhances the appearance of the pistol. Since this is a self-defense package, the majority of the work is focused toward maximum reliability - but, aesthetics haven’t been overlooked either. This past year, Bill decided to build a complete self-defense package based on the PM9 with the emphasis on “package.” The Cylinder & Slide crew has taken the PM9 to an entirely different level as only a custom shop can do. Several years ago, Bill took an MK9 and performed an astounding custom package. Bill is mostly known for his work on 1911s and Browning Hi Powers, however, he does undertake other projects from time to time.
Enter Bill Laughridge and Cylinder & Slide. However, the stock PM9, just like any stock production pistol, can be improved with the right touch. I have found them reliable, comfortable and accurate. My experience with the stock Kahr pistols has been very positive over the years. It’s very close to the perfect 9mm pocket rocket. It’s striker fired with a long DAO-type trigger and, with the exception of the slide release and magazine release, is devoid of any protrusions. More importantly, the PM9 weighs in at 14 ounces. To get the stats out of the way, the PM9 has an overall length of 5.3″, a height of 4″, and the slide is just. The P9 is the full-size version while the PM9 is the polymer frame version of the MK9.

For a small pistol, they weighed a lot! Now In PolymerĪfter several years of research, Kahr developed the “P” series of pistols featuring a polymer frame. The only problem with both of these pistols was they were constructed of all stainless steel. In the minds of many, the K9 and MK9 rendered most, if not all. It’s slightly longer than 5″ with a height of only 4″ - just the right size for ankle or pocket carry. While the K9 is compact, about the size of a Walther PP, Kahr went a step further when they introduced the MK9 Micro. In 1998, NYPD authorized the K9 9mm for officer carry. Their first line of all stainless steel pistols set the market on fire due to their size and great shooting characteristics. Kahr Firearms has been producing quality compact pistols for more than 12 years. Well, times have changed and there’s a new king of the hill. In my early days of working the roads, the choices were a small frame revolver such as a Chief’s Special or a. Finally, it should be in a caliber as large as the platform can accommodate. It must be easy to shoot, allowing you to make solid hits at a reasonable distance. It should be lightweight but still controllable.
The debate on what makes a great backup or off-duty carry gun has gone on for years.
