Ok, so I am seriously thinking about this.

Anyone heard any pros or cons??

I've fired about 100 rounds through one, but on another gun forum, there is alot of FTF and FTE issues cited.

Any input?

Kahr is a Great Company for ultra concealable carry guns.

Though the price reflects the size and quality I believe you get a good product for the money spent. Approx. 600 to 675 retail
I have handled at least 50 PM9's and worked on a few(customizing)
One fault in the design is the use of extremely stiff springs and the abrubt angle of the feed ramp which creates feeding issues in new guns
This is well documented but really a none issue.
Kahr specifically notes of the break in period on their guns and suggests you run 500 rounds of ammo through it before the firearm is carried.
This isnt really a detraction because most variant's of this design have similiar issues.

Brass Tax
I would carry one, no question

Thanks Chris!

Yeah, I know its much more easily concealable than the XD9sc, at least for me.
