This thread was an interesting read and I'm glad I came back to look through it.

Interestingly.....many of the 9mm recommendations in this thread come with a "don't want to shoot too many rounds through it cuz it hurts" or something along those lines. Hmmm.....why have a firearm that results in range practice that is painful at the worst or no fun at the least?

As I said in my previous post, the Kahr PM9 doesn't come with that problem. I can easily shoot 2 or 3 boxes of ammo through it during a range session and I'm no worse for wear than if I had used my XD9 service. That is what I appreciate the most about the PM9 (aside from it being small and less than a pound). Other than that, is the only very small gun I've shot that I consider fun to shoot. Mine rides in a High Noon horsehide OWB holster. Makes for a nice combination.
