I have had several smaller guns, j frames, kel tecs in 9mm and 380 and now i have a kahr pm9. Out of all of the other guns, this gun is the most accurate.
With the exception of the revolvers, you may have heard a variety of issues such as fte and overall jams. Small guns definitely can be a bit finicky until broken in. As well, they need to remain extremely clean and oiled more than their bigger cousin guns. You also need to manhandle the gun more to avoid any possible malfunctions due to limpwristing.
That being said. I have been more than pleased with the kahr pm9 in its quality of build, accuracy, and reliability. I guess i have been fortunate not to have any of the problems that some have written about all across the internet.
In your original post you stated iwb or belt carry. If that is the intended style of carry i would suggest the pm9 for sure. For one it is made better and secondly it comes with an extra magazine that is a bit longer and will give you a full grip on the gun for belt carry. You can also take advantage of the smaller, more stealth magazine for anytime you want to throw it in your pant or jacket pocket.
The only negative i have with the gun is in the sights that come with it. I don't care for the style of view that it gives you. That is just my preference and is only because i'm not used to it. If you are gonna go all out and get one of these guns, you might as well get some night sites and then you can fix the shooters point of view to your liking.
