Well I am glad the PM9 is working well for you. However I do question the need to fire a couple of hundred rounds to get the kinks worked out. In my case, I fired approx 100-150 rounds, and every time the first 3-4 rounds coming out of the magazine would stick and I would need to pop the end of the slide with my wrist. I took it to a gun smith, he smoothed it down supposedly and it still did it. Plus the magazine would pinch my skin every time I fired it. It was the most uncomfortable handgun I have ever fired, in my somewhat limited handgun experiences. I now conceal/carry a Taurus ProMillenium 9mm which is a 3 1/2 in barrel and larger then the Kahr PM9 with its 3 in barrel, but I can still conceal/carry effectively with that. Also I have a Springfield XD9 Sub compact 3 1/2 in barrel, which is a little wider that the Taurus, but still I can conceal/carry that if necessary.

I am glad the Kahr PM9 is working out well for you. That's the most important thing, that you feel good & comfortable & confident with the handgun you use for conceal/carry.

That is perfectly normal for a firearm. If you know anything about machining or mechanical engineering, the fact is that any moving assembly has to wear together. That is why when rebuilding an engine you put all the parts being reused back where they came from. No matter how good the machining tolerances, that wearing will happen and the gun will be more reliable afterwards. Every manufacturer has to decide where to come down on accuracy vs reliability and there is a lot to be gained in accuracy by building a gun that might have problems in the first few magazines.

A gun that functions perfectly out of the box is a combination of a good design and a bit of luck.

I know what you mean about comfort. The Kahr is nowhere near my Kimber in comfort and shootability, but I wouldn't expect it to be. I bought the Kimber to shoot as much as possible, the Kahr to shoot no more than necessary.
