[QUOTE="alank2, post: 1224313, member: 108"] Hi Everyone, Thanks for all the great posts. I had about given up on the PM9 due to its cost until one of the mail order distributors got back to me and his price was better than I expected. I ended up paying $554.40 out the door including the $10 FFL fee at OPS for it which was much easier to stomach than the $683 at sports world including tax. As usual it is always a pleasure to head down to OPS and visit with Eric for a bit. My first impression of the pistol is that it is very good quality. I gave it a wipe down with some oil and headed to the range to see how it would do. I put 50 rounds through it and it had zero problems of any kind. Recoil was much lighter than I expected and accuracy was much higher than I expected. I still love my 442, but this is my one gripe about the 442. Even after I have smoothed its trigger and made it considerably better than it came from the factory, it is just so much harder to point and shoot accurately. The PM9 was in comparison so much easier to hit with quickly and accurately. I still love my 442 and it will not get sold because it is a no lock version and because on the trips where I have to travel through states like IL it is very easy to unload and make my 442 safe and then load and rearm once I get inside Indiana. No slam fire concerns, no why is that guy having to put some much force into something in his trunk that he is messing with, etc. The 442 shines for something like this. My only gripe was that the stipling was a little aggressive for my liking. I stopped into a bike shop on Mingo yesterday and they gave me a dead tire tube. Smoothed out the grip right nice: [b][Broken External Image][/b] Yes, no sights. I bought the P500 universal tool from Midway to change the sights and it did get the factory ones off as you can see. I am waiting for the Trijicon's to come in from Kahr. I was hoping the P500 tool would become my sight changer so I could sell my Glock model, but I don't see how it could handle the sloped sights so I'll probably return it. So far so good. I love the PM9. I need to find a good pocket holster for it and see how it carries once I get some reliability experience. Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
