I had a PM9 and it was a great gun. As others mentioned, long DA-ish trigger pull, but super smooth and not too heavy. Very nice gun, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Kahr's.
I did trade it in for Shield 9mm with the full Apex job and I like it just as much.

Had one. Sold One. Gun was 100% reliable for me but my only complaint was that the stippling on the grip was really sharp. Had to wear a glove at the range. Good carry piece though. Top notch quality. This was mine
Best thing to do is put them on photobucket, google drive, etc, and use the image button and insert the URLs from there. (sometimes theres a share function that shows the URL of the pic after you upload it).

First pics don't make it look so bad, but post #39 you can see the light through there... that looks a little ree ree. On a lot of pistols its kinda normal to see a gap on the back end but not the front.

Does your PM9 have the steel rails along the inner sides of the dust cover? The slide rides along those rails.
(not my pic, top frame is a Kahr)
The dust shield on my PM9 could be described as wavy, but it's also symmetrical. So I think it's supposed to be that way.
They all are.

Are they all like this or is it it just mine?
my p9 is similar.
it bugged me for a while but it functions excellently w tight barrel-slide lockup. My suggestion is to stop looking at it and enjoy shooting it.
i have a buddy who is a kahr technician....my understanding is theres nothing here to fix.
im sure there are NES tactical ninjas out there who would claim its a POS and kahr is garbage and yadda yadda yadda whatever.
I think you guys are right. Its most likely cosmetic. Its a nice gun. I like its size. I'm am disappointed in quality of construction albeit likely cosmetic, but it and the response from the company is not what you would expect for a brand new hand gun at this price range. Feel like I should have just bought a shield for half the price.
Are you sure the bowing wasn't there when you first got the gun? The bowing and the gap between the frame and slide seem to be there in every single Kahr picture I could find. If anything, the consistency is a good sign of manufacturing competency.
Yeah, Kahr frames seem a bit on the cheesy side compared to something like HK polymer frames, but the quality of their machining is top notch.
Follow the break in procedure in the manual, put aside your OCD and enjoy how easy it is to carry.

Upon further review, like PaulD says, that's pretty typical for a Kahr. If it was mine I'd stop caring and just shoot it. With the bigger pictures it doesn't look as bad as I thought it did.

Here's another Kahr idiosyncrasy (or at least for the PM9).
When you dry fire it, the rear of the slide rises when the trigger is all the way back and then drops again when you let off.
This thread makes me realize I probably ought to clean all the pocket lint and shmegma off mine.

Damn it. I didn't even notice this on mine until I took it out of the safe just now to look at it. Same exact thing. It does not bother me but I cannot stop looking at it now.
