Talk me into a CM9

[Tundra5.7]

Gonna jump right in with both feet on my very first post. Talk me in to a Kahr CM9. First a little background. I carry a Glock 27 but I'm looking for something a little smaller and thinner, especially during the spring, summer, and fall. My concern with the Kahr is this. A good friend had a Kahr PM40 and it was a wonderful little pistol but it had a lot of FTF's and had to be sent back to Kahr. All problems were experienced by several different shooters(including myself), with different ammo, well over 250 rounds down the tube, and with different magazines. My friend finally got frustrated with it and traded it off.

So that experience has me a little concerned about the Kahr. I can pick up a new CM9 or CM40 for a little over $400 OTD. I really like these little pistols and really think he just got a lemon or maybe gave up a little too soon. Any words of wisdom here???

Had my CM9 for 8 months. Approaching 1500 rounds and not one glitch. Not even an FTE or FTF. It is my constant companion. Maybe I am just lucky but am sold on it.

I'm a Glock guy too. I have a bunch of them and usually carry a 23. I pocket carry a LCP. I wanted something in 9mm to pocket carry and the CM9 seemed like it was the smallest quality gun available.
I like it except I can't get used to the trigger. I've only shot it once, but I put 300 rounds through it. I didn't have a malfunctions.
I will be shooting it again this weekend.

Also here's my Tundra 5.7

I personally have PM9, but little brother CM is just as good. Not a single FTF. Yesterday at the range 20 rounds at 40 feet all within 4 inch

pimping tundra. I like

If you get a good one you are gold.

If you get a lemon it will drive you to drink.

Very nice Tundra. Here's a pic of mine I took several months ago.



Thanks for the advice on the pistol.

Thanks!

Nice truck! Mine had the same wheels when it was new. I shaved all my badges and stickers. I don't care for badges on any truck. The Tundra has was too many.

I say since you shot one already and you know how the trigger is. If you can deal with that then go for it

The lemon part is what concerns me!

I had a few FTFs and FTEs during the first 150 rounds that I now attribute to getting used to the gun. Since then it's been flawless. Just buy it. You'll have a fine firearm.

Does the price sound reasonable or do I need to keep looking?

[Cougar8000]

a bit over 400 out the door? I would say yes for a brand new gun. It is actually a really good price

[Tundra5.7]

$423.50 to be exact.

Just went shopping for one yesterday for my step-father. We went and rented one first, which he liked. The rental got 50 rounds and no malfunctions. He bought his for $425 at a LGS. Other prices I found were $469 LGS where we rented one (always overpriced) and $420 at Cabelas. The other LGS was closer than Cabelas, so the $5 didn't make much difference.

My regular LGS has them for $400, but were out of stock. They also give a LEO price there which would have been $355 for me, but not for my step-father. Kind of shows what the mark-up is.

I just took my CM9 out of my pocket and put it to bed in my drawer. Then I got the Glock out of the safe for night duty.

No issues with the CM9 or CW9. The Glock is a Glock.
