Kahr PM9 Review (Part 1 of 2)
About this video
Colion reviews the Kahr PM9 subcompact 9mm pistol, explaining why he chose it over the Ruger LC9 for deeper concealment when his Glock 36 is too large. He walks through the PM9’s ergonomics, trigger characteristics, grip texture, slide operation, sights, and recoil management, sharing his personal experience and preferences throughout.
Key takeaways
- Colion selected the Kahr PM9 for maximum concealment because he preferred its smooth, consistent trigger over the LC9’s longer, grittier pull
- According to Colion, the PM9’s aggressive checkering provides secure grip but leaves imprints during extended shooting, and the slide becomes smoother after break-in due to polymer-rail integration
- Colion finds the PM9’s recoil manageable and the gun accurate, though he personally prefers traditional three-dot sights over the PM9’s dot-and-notch system
