PM series pistols are manufactured with stainless steel slides that ride on steel inserts within the polymer frames, preventing the wear which would otherwise be inherent with metal slide to plastic frame contact. The PM series combined both these approaches, introducing polymer framed pistols that were also the smallest Kahr models ever produced. Kahr attempted to address these concerns by introducing pistols that were physically smaller, as well as a line of polymer framed models. Early Kahr models such as the K9 were praised as well-made and solidly constructed, but criticized for their excessive weight, which is a disadvantage in a weapon intended for concealed carry. When the first Kahr pistols appeared on the market in 1994 they were constructed entirely of carbon steel. The target market for the PM line is the civilian concealed carry market, as well as being intended as backup weapons for law enforcement officers. The Kahr PM series ( Polymer Micro) is a series of double action only (DAO) hammerless, striker-fired, short recoil operated, semi-automatic pistols manufactured by Kahr Arms.
