So.. I picked up an MK9 used and an extra 7 round magazine for $550 today. Included the original box (has all the foam) along with all the original manuals and whatnot (even that useless lock, though the bar is missing.. meh whatever).
Owner claims 500-600 rounds. The action is so freaking smooth compared to the CM9.. it's mind blowing. Just holding the gun makes me feel classy.
The gun has very little wear, I would consider it to be in excellent condition.
Tore it apart, cleaned up everything I could easily get to. I'm thinking I may want to take out the striker and clean that out, but I'll do that in a couple days since I wont be able to get out to the range until Friday, maybe Saturday.
Interesting observation I've noticed:
The CM9 and MK9 have identical width slides, but the frame on the MK9 is thinner. The MK9 has a thicker slide stop/release, but I suspect that's to offset the thinner frame. Grip is thicker too, but again I suspect for the same reason.
While the CM9 is lighter, I interestingly enough find the MK9 feels flatter in my pocket and just a tad bit more comfortable... though the CM9 will retain its place since sometimes you just want the lightest thing you can grab.
