Need advice....CM9 vs. PM9 UPDATE: Page 3

[frbejarano]

I really want a black PM9 with night sights but also like the CM9. Buds now has the CM9 in stock but not the PM9 that I want. I have got to have one of these pistols now! would you guys wait for the PM9 to come back in stock or go ahead and order the CM? And no I can't have both. Has anyone put a full set of night sights on a CM9 yet?

Why are you stuck buying from Buds? There's many options out there like Grab A Gun, etc.

I highly recommend you get what you want the first time around, if you want the PM9 in black and night sights - get it.

I'm buying from buds police supply. I'm a firefighter and we are eligible for the LEO/military discount. Thanks for the input.

Have you asked if Buds can order it for you?

Thunder is right. Although there is absolutely nothing lacking on the CM, you will never be satisfied if you don't get the black PM.

I did put night sights on my CM9 and bought additional magazines. Like it fine but get the one you want. I love my PM40 and got the CM9 when I couldn't find a PM9 last year. I saved a little money but would get it back in resale value if I had gotten a PM9.

Kahr is putting out cm9's in large numbers due to demand because it is cheap. IMO the high production rate might contribute to the problems that are posted on this forum. Demand for the pm9 might be lower because it is expensive so Kahr could be making fewer than in the past. If it was me I would wait for the gun I really wanted. Myself I would rather have one more expensive gun that I really wanted than 2 cheap ones. Buyers remorse can set in early after a rushed decision to purchase.

buy the kahr u want, the cm is top quality, no different in the PM9 either. both made the same way, but if u want a PM9 wait and buy it. Great gun IMO. If u pay $150 more, so what, it is not like ur doing this every day..

They are not made the same way. A pinned front sight is not the same as a dovetail front sight. Engraving is cheaper on the CM9, barrel rifling, slide release... It's a cheaper made gun (hence it costs less to make), a fine shooter but lets not throw out the differences. Whether or not those differences matter to the buyer is the only thing that matters however, but let's not say they are the same gun - outside of shooting alike and the internals, it's simply not true.

Some of it may or may not matter, but a pinned front sight may or may not be a deal breaker for someone (for example), let's try and keep facts, facts. Pointing out the little differences does not have to sound like the CM9 is a POS compared to the PM9, but it is made cheaper - doesn't necessarily mean it's not as capable.

There are differences outside of cost, your needs and budget will come into play when it comes time to decide which one is best for you - in the end, they all work the same way and are similar. One will give you something the other does not.

My PM9094N is my primary carry ..
All others just stay in the gun safe and
come out on range day..

Thanks again everyone. Ima hold off for the pm9.

I would get the PM over the CM, due to sights. The CM is NOT DOVETAILED and this limits your options on installing night sights. For me that alone is worth holding out. As the saying goes....."you get what you pay for".

[bonjorno2]

right the cm doesn't have a dovetail on the front but the rear is... so screw on front sight from trijicon and same exact rear sight as the pm...

Both very good guns but I'm sure that if you really wanted the PM9, you'll not be sorry you waited.
