I bought a new Kahr PM9 a few months ago. I love it. Except for a couple of ammo issues and user-induced problems, the gun has been 100% reliable...until today. All rounds fired bfore today were 115gr (either WWB or Speer Gold Dots). I have always cleaned and lubed the gun within hours of firing it.
I was testing out some new ammo all 124 gr, all FMJ- Ficcochi, Speer Lawman, and Winchester Ranger. By my count, today I had 9 failures to feed in 150 rounds.
Every single one was exactly the same - the nose of the bullet got lodged between the feed ramp and the next round in the magazine. I was able to drop the mag every time and the lodged bullet came out along with the magazine.
I came home and inspected the feed ramp and everything looked normal (although I am a novice when it comes to diagnosing these kinds of issues). I cleaned the heck out of the gun and paid lots of attention to the feed ramp.
I plan on shooting again on Saturday to see if the problem persists. Any ideas on what might have caused this issue? Any ideas to fix it?
