127+p+ For The PM9

[DonB]

I know it sounds kind of trivial but I don't want to deal with the hassle of two kinds of ammo for my G19 and the PM9. I like the 127+p+ for the Glock but will the PM9 handle 50-100 rounds of this to insure reliability. Or, should I just go with the GD 124+p for both. I know the GD is a great round too.

two kinds of ammo is a hassle? i must have at least a dozen for just my one 9mm handgun. go with an p9hst4. :)

IMHO:
The 124 +P is more than enough for the PM9, and great for the G19.

- Shoot 100 rounds through that Kahr, in one session, and you'll know what I mean. ;)

I'm too lazy to dig mine out, but what does the owner's manual say about +P+ ammo? If it doesn't answer your question, I'd contact Kahr and ask them directly.

Kahr does not recommend nor will they stand behind their PM series using +P+ ammo.

yep, that's why i recommend +p ammo. not many of the manufacturers will endourse the +p+ ammo and while i wouldn't shoot it regularly, i don't exclude it either.

Kahr does not recommend +p ammo. Their pistols are good for only 5,000
rounds +/-. I sold my P9 Covert, it started getting picky with Win. SilverTips.
Get a G26. I shoot it just as well as my G19, and it will take just about anything.


Semper Fi!!

I hadn't heard that. Source?

Only pistol with an expected lifespan I've ever heard of was the old Sigma .380 from the early 90's.

[kensteele]

when you hear those lifespan numbers, you can probably get double that in the real world.

Go with the Gold Dot 124-grain +P JHP if it's a only a choice between the two rounds. Much better than Winchester ammo of any kind.

That 5000 round Kahr lifespan rumor originated from an erroneous magazine article about a year and half ago. It's just a myth.

I use Speer 124 gr +P Gold Dot in both my G19 and PM9.
