Issue with Kahr mag

[U.S. Patriot]

I recently picked up a new Kahr PM9. I shot it last Saturday and it functioned flawlessly. I carry my spare mag in a nylon knife sheath. Last night I noticed that three rounds had fallen out of the mag, and where sitting in the bottom of the sheath. Is this a common problem with Kahr. I'm going to contact them, as that is not satisfactory in my eyes.

I've had three Kahrs and never had that issue. Have you run that mag through your gun yet? Did it have any feeding issues? Maybe the lips on the mag are spread, or they gave you the wrong caliber mag? Does the mag move around in the knife sheath when you carry it?

Never had that problem with PM-45 mags carried in a Gerber/Leatherman pouch.

Do you notice any damage to the feed lips? I have not experience any such issue with my cw9, but the mags are all the same. Kahr has great customer service with my e experience with them, bet of luck, hope you can work it out.

I ran 100+ rounds through both mags without issue. I can visually see no issues with it as well, and it's the right caliber. The mag fits pretty tight in the sheath and does not have any room to move around.

I would call Kahr and have them send you another mag. I have heard good things about their customer service, but have never contacted them myself.

I have the same issue with my pm9. The spring tension and smooth feed Allow a round in the spare mag to pop out from time to time. It's only one round and in my spare mag. I also found that a small piece of scotch tape on the spare mag and top round will stop it and still allows function.

If you had three rounds fall out your knife sheath must not be to tight like you say or there would not be room for three rounds down there.

I know it sounds odd, and even I was like WTF. The sheath is literaly just big enough to hold the mag, and it has a velcro loop.

I'll contact Kahr. The gun was built in 2006 but I bought it new. Did not know if there was maybe an issue early on.

There are a couple of mag tweaks on kahrtalk.com that have a good chance of reducing the pop-out issue. It will never go away entirely, though, because the rounds are at such an aggressive angle.

I've had the top round move forward enough so that it wouldn't go in the mag well. I attributed that to my not install the round far enough back in the magazine. I also had one fall out once, I inspected the mag's and they seemed to be in good shape, no deformaties that I could find and spring tension was very firm.

Wow, gun was sitting on the shelf for 6 years before it was sold?

Let us know how it goes.

My Kahr mags were bad about that. I think it is fairly common.......

A guy bought it new and never shot it then put it on consignment. I sent the warranty card out.

I thought I had read somewhere about it, but I could not remember.

My spare Kahr mags do that with the top round. I switched to a kydex mag holder and no longer have a problem.
