Another day at the range with my CM9 and my M&P 45C
I usually practice a "split" drill when I go at the outdoor range
We set 3 targets up in parallel each a foot and a half from each other.
We have shooting 3 "spots" firing one shot at the farthest target, then moving to the second spot then firing at the second, then moving to the
3rd spot and firing at the last target.
Sort of a competition, that trains a shooter to shoot and move quickly.
(We also have a little competition between my friends and I for accuracy)
I have always believed shooting hours and hours at a paper target where neither the shooter or the target move, isnt the best practice for those that have chosen to legally conceal carry.
So..... on to the CM9.
This pistol is VERY accurate. It feels great in the hand.
My last trip out, I had a few issues with premature slide lock back.
This trip, I had it happen much less. (two times out of 150 rounds)
After the last trip, and after I spoke to Kahr, I filed the edge of the slide stop that was impacting the bullet, causing the slide to pop up, mid mag.
I will probably take a little bit more off, to see if this makes the difference.
One thing I found is that when I cycle my pistol, (both using the slide stop or the slingshot method, the 2nd round sometimes is as much as 3/8 inch forward.
After looking at the follower modification that some have completed, I wonder if this would make this less likely to happen, as the 1st and 2nd bullet would then have more surface area matched up between the bullets.
At the angle the mag has today, the back of the 1st and 2nd bullets touch, but the surface area is very small, which in my mind, may allow the 2nd bullet slide further forward.
Thoughts??
I still love this gun, when my pistol locks back, its quick to swipe the slide stop and it always goes into battery. Not a FTF, not a FTE, but still not wanted.
As one of my carry pistols, I want both to be 100%
My M&P is 100% as I have had 0 failures
My Kahr is 98%, still needs to go 100 rounds with no slide lockback
