Over at TFB, there’s a story of a Kahr PM9 kaboom.

Recently I posted videos of Tom Givens extolling the PM9. Is this kB! any slight on the PM9? I don’t think so. In fact, I think it’s a sight that things have improved!

You see, when I was choosing my carry gun the Kahr’s were getting serious consideration. But I had read about all sorts of problems with them, and how when sending back for customer service the service was hit or miss. It was enough to turn me off to the little guns. However reading this latest story? The kB! wasn’t Kahr’s fault, yet they repaired/replaced everything and even took care of all the shipping costs. A fast turnaround to boot.

I wrote that should I get back in the market for a small semi-auto, the Kahr’s were going to get serious consideration again. Reading about this experience only strengthens that.

BTW, the ammo that went boom was from Georgia Arms. I’ve got a couple cans of GA’s “Canned Heat” in .223 and have yet to have a problem. However, this is not the first story of GA ammo having problems.
