Fixed that for ya!


Any gun is a liability in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to, or is afraid to use it. Training with any type of weapon is just as important as the selection of the weapon. Just like owning a 1000hp car is a liability in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to properly drive it.

I've been shooting handguns for 20+ years and never had an issue like this gun. I had 4 different people shoot it with the same results. Just got a bad one I guess. We bought it because we know people that have Kahrs and love them.... all guys though- two in 40 and one in 9mm. Honestly that PM9 was so user-unfriendly for a woman that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There is no reason why a small handgun should be that difficult to operate. She could not physically break down the gun because the slide pressure is so stiff, IMO to overcome their slide design issue. The Springfield XDS9 we replaced it with is excellent and she can work it without issue.

Didnt read the entire thread, but for an exclusive home protection gun, a 12 gauge shotgun is hard to beat. It wasnt an option. In the heat of the moment, youre much more likely to be successful with a shot gun. And the sound of a shell getting racked will make any intruder **** their pants. Best case scenario is you run them off without a shot fired.

I haven't read the entire thread either but I would have to agree. The best gun is the one you never have to use but someone knows you have and racking one in my 12 gauge as I am walled up in my bedroom is a good deterent. Off target shots are also less likely to leave the house too which is a bonus.
