So this morning I drove down to an LGS, cash in hand, intent on purchasing the PM9 (no safety) that was in the case. Unfortunately, he had taken a deposit by phone the previous day. He offered to get me one, but the external safety version was the only one available. I decided to continue looking (didn't love his price anyway), when another customer came in and basically compared the PM9 to a wad of used toilet paper - mags suck, takedown is a PITA, shoots like crap, etc. He had several that went back to Kahr multiple times and finally gave up. Told me the Shield was the way to go. I think it's too big for pocket carry. A few days prior, the owner espoused the virtues of the PM9 as probably the best pocket carry 9mm. I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Both of them dumped on the G43.
I'm confused.
