Dan Wesson PM-9 questions

[foxj66]

Thanks. Are you pleased with yours? It runs reliable? I ave read the pistols are not lubricated from factory, just a protective coating. DW recommends disassembly and grease on rails, good oil everywhere else BEFORE shooting. I would do that anyway but apparently some shoot right out of box. There have been a few galling events reported but DW promptly corrected.

I dont have one, but have been around a lot of DW

Lube it well stainless isnt forgiving if you dont.

I own several Dan Wesson's and all 9mm and 10mm pistols have ramped barrels. Food for thought, if you buy the PM-9, ditch the OEM magazines. They have a tendency for the follower to bind in front of the magazine catch when empty. All three of my 9mm's had this problem and now I use Wilson ETM's, exclusively.

Since the PM's are stainless on stainless, to avoid gauling, follow the recommended break-in procedures found in the manual and DO NOT USE GREASE ON THE RAILS.
