Does anyone have a photo of a CW9 and a CM9 w/Pearce extension?

Or make a 2nd trip with the gift card and get free ammo!

Good choice, TeaQue. My first Kahr five years ago was a CW9, and the CW series is great, but the smaller, lighter CM makes a more practical concealed pistol. I have three guns that require a two finger grip, compact M&P 40, PM9 and LCP, and it's something that you get used to. The M&P has two mags, one with an extension and one without - it no longer makes a difference.

Well I've been playing with my CM9 non-stop and i'm itching to shoot it. Hopefully I'll get a chance later this week.

I was amazed at how much oil and crap was in this gun from the factory so I broke it down and clean/lubed it according to the guide on this forum and put on some gloves and racked it a good 200 times then repeated the cleaning/lubing.

I also sanded down the mag follower according to the guide in the Tech forum so hopefully I don't have any issues at the range. It seems like its loosened up a little now. I already ordered the talon rubber grip tape and pearce grip extensions as well.

I wonder how long it will take Kahr to ship out my free 7rd mag.

Congrats! I LOVE my PM9 and haven't had any issues with it except off the wall stuff. No consistent jams or FTFs or anything.

Rack it as much as you can, except I never did this before shooting and it worked just fine it seems.

I never had any problems with the mags either really. I would've tried it first personally.

I never had to wait on one, but there is a forum about the wait times right now, and when I peeked at it, I think I remember seeing a 7 week wait on those. BUT, they're coming with the new and barely improved mag extensions on them.

Well I had some remington hollowpoints laying around and I loaded the gun to see if I could slingshot the slide and the rounds were nose-diving every time.

Now that I've sanded the follower down its gotten a lot better. That sucks about the wait time on the mag! That 200rd break in period is gonna take awhile having to stop and reload......then again maybe thats a good thing. With my M&P and 3 17rd mags I seem to blow through ammo at the range a little too quickly

I need to practice with this trigger too as its only my second DAO pistol (first was an LCP and I barely shot it.) My M&P has an Apex FSS (aluminum trigger kit so now it shoots like a 1911) so going back and forth will be tough. I'll probably leave the M&P at home until I become fairly accurate with the Kahr.

Confirm if I'm not wrong, but slingshotting your slide is NOT using the slide release right? It's pulling it back from the forward position and letting it ride forward right?

Remember: THINK SMOOOOOOOOOOTH!!!

[TeaQue]

Yes, slingshotting is pulling the slide back and letting go.

When you do that, which round nosedives?

I typically load 6+1 by locking open, inserting a round, and releasing the slide. Then I insert my mag.

1st round did it consistently. After sanding the mag follower I've been able to slingshot it at least 10 times in a row

that could be kinda hard on the extractor, as the extractor system in kahrs for sure is designed to hav ethe round slide up between it and the face and not have to forceable ride over the rim of the round. Kahrs has one of the most durable extractors I have ever seen. I can't remember ever seeing a broken one,..

I load out of the magazine and then drop the mag and top off the magazine..

[MO_Soldier]

Hmmm...ok. I'll have it not ride forward completely sometimes if I don't let the slide go cleanly.

Wow...have these issues come up from loading the first round like I do?
What about the magazine release? I was taught to pull slide tension OFF of the release, allowing the slide to ride forward without putting pressure on the magazine release. The CCW instructor who taught me that said they tend to break if you do that too much.

I believe the Kahr manual says to use the mag release.
