Yes, I have one with the tungsten finish and factory night sights. I have been packing it for a year and a half now and it's great! It completely disappears and is nice and light.

I started packing a G27 and then got into an XD9-SC. I would switch between the two depending on what I was wearing (they both carry differently). Both were still a bit bulky for my taste so I got into the PM9 and haven't carried the Glock or XD since.

The PM9 has a pretty stout spring and recoil is quite manageable for such a compact pistol. I haven't had any corrosion issues with it either.

Hope this helps.

They do have to be broken in with a couple hundred rounds. I have had zero feeding issues with mine but I also don't run short HPs through it. I use the Extreme Shock Fang Face rounds that run a lot better up the ramp because of the shape

In my quest to find something more compact than the G27 and XD, I actually bought a PF9. All of the local gun shops were sold out of them so I couldn't get my hands on one before buying. I have an FFL and ordered one from a distributor to give it a whirl. 10 mins after the hands on, I put it back in the box and put it up for sale. It's just not up to my standards for a 9mm. That being said, I do have two Keltecs (p32 and p3at) for when I'm feeling extra lazy or know that I'm going into a business that doesn't allow CCW.... which means locking it up in the glove box or trunk. I figure that if by the off chance that the car gets broken into and the Keltec is found, I'm only out $200 instead of triple that for the PM9.

what are your standards? Mine are that they go boom when the trigger is pulled EVERY TIME and they can take all of the abuse I put them through. The pf9 is pretty accurate as well.

ˆ
My standards are that if it rattles like an 83 Buick, move on ... I was pretty excited to get the PF9 and well... It just seemed like a rattling piece of crap. I don't know, maybe it was dropped on it's head when it was born or something. Both of my other Keltecs are rattle free and just seem to be better built than the PF9. If it works for you, then that's cool. I'm just saying it didn't work for me.

I just bought a pf9...its very accurate and reliable. But due to a somewhat similar opinion as above....im consider a kahr CW9.

If I bought a Kel Tec..IF, it would be a P3AT. But I would rather spend $60 more or so and get an LCP.

I thought the same exact thing until the LCP was hammered with multiple factory recalls.

Taurus has a new contender coming, called the TCP. They also have a new slim 9mm to keep an eye out for.

Kahr has the Kahr 380 coming out..

I dunno. I have heard more then plenty of good reports about the LCP to warrant buying one, and the factory recall has fixed the one known issue I have heard about, and you get a free magazine and hat for sending it back, and the entire deal is paid for overnight shipping both ways. Sounds like they more then do their share to make things better.

Taurus is intriguing to me, but IDK that I would ever buy one. It just cost's a little more to go first class and be for sure with things IMO.


But the main reason I am looking to get a PM9 is the fact it is a 9mm, and while larger then the LCP, has a better round in it, and is a nicer made weapon.

I agree, I do really want one. The prices I saw at the gun show the other day was nuts. One was listed at $999!
