I got my P9 when they first appeared on the market back in the late 1990s. Never a jam or malfunction of any kind, even after two small part breakages.

PS Both small parts breakages occurred only after the 4000 round mark, and were made of plastic. The replacement parts sent to me by Kahr were both steel, so they realized the design flaw and fixed it, likely shortly after it was introduced.

PPS That doesn't mean they cannot produce lemons, so you never know if the one that you're referring to is one.
