Kahr PM9

I just couldn't stay away from the range today
and shot my Kahr PM-9. I tried to take my time
to see how accurate I could shoot @15 feet. I
aimed for the top of the 1" pasters (12:00 O'clock).
The Kahr just feels good in my hand for a small gun.
My pinkie won't fit on the grip but that doesn't seem to
be a big deal, after all, it is a pocket gun. Even though
I am very pleased with the grouping, I seem to pull everything
slightly to the left, no matter how hard I try.
Here are the results:

The left side hit are fairly typical for a right-handed shooter with a striker fired pistol. It takes some practice to balance them out.

Not bad Haka any of them would put the BG out of commission. How is it as a point and shoot gun as that is the way it would be used at that distance or less in a self defense situation.

Strangely, the most pronounced pulling to the left comes from my Beretta M9A1, then the Glock 34. All of my other hg's there is only a slight pull to the left similar to what you see in the target above. There are good shooters at the club I belong to, but I don't think they teach shooting to fix issues like this? I would like to correct the pulling, but it seems no matter how much I try it's still there.

I haven't tried to shoot it that way, but I think I could do it just fine at 15 ft. Maybe I could get rid of the pull that way. I'll have to try that technique next time to the range.

Place your trigger finger a little deeper onto the trigger than normal and see if that doesn't solve the problem.

Nice tight group. Looks great, except with hits like that, your target should be frowning.....

Very consistent shooting. Excellent for one of the little guns.
