    Here's a link to a factory blemished one for what appears to be a good price.

        Make the guy an offer on the used PM9, you never know what he might take for it.

            I am new to the Kahr Forum but it has been a great place for gathering information.I have been looking for a 9mm semi to pocket carry and the CM or PM 9 seem to be getting the best reviews.I now carry either a S&W Bodyguard 380 or my Luger LCP.I also have a S&W 9mm Shield but it is just to heavy for pocket carry.I went to my local gunshop yesterday and put 50 rounds through a PM9,as they didn't have a CM9 available to rent,and it was flawless.I really like the price on the CM9 and was wondering if the shooting experience is dramatically different between the two.Any opinions from those of you who have fired both would be appreciated appreciated.

                Offer lower, you can always go up. He probably paid around $225-$250. Make sure you give it a good going over. There are many videos on how to check a semi auto. Reference any little thing you see and that it's super dirty. Lay three crisp hundreds on the counter. You can always go up. I bet you can walk out for $350 cash.

                  I may give it a run. Cash usually talks.

                    I agree, in my very limited experience.

                      I was in the same boat as you a few months ago. I ended up getting a new PM9 with Crimson Trace laser at Buds for $525 ( using the make an offer feature, it lists at $539, same as the non laser one). Once you factor in the $175 CT laser, I ended up getting the PM9 for about the same the price of a CM9. You can always sell the laser if you don't want it, although I like it now that I'm used to the button being there. I kept thinking the price was a mistake and I got lucky but it's still been there for a couple of months now. I may buy another one. The gun has been flawless so far after about 400 rounds. I didn't do any fluff and buff first, just cleaned and lubed it according to recommendations, and took apart the magazines and silicone sprayed the inside of the tube and the spring, wiping off any excess. I can carry it in my pocket with any shorts or jeans easily. I don't even bother using a pocket holster. I can actually carry a G26 or G19 in the front pocket of my cargo shorts too, the regular pocket not the cargo pocket ... they print a whole lot more, but they're legally concealed. The G19 is really easy to draw since the big grip is right there at the top of the pocket. But I almost always pocket carry the PM9 due to the light weight and comfort. Before this I usually carried a KelTec p32 with laser, which I really liked a lot for the tiny size and light weight, I hardly noticed it was there, but it proved to be unreliable despite multiple fluff and buffs and new springs and extractor. The PM9 was a big step up in size and weight from that, but I got used to it a lot faster than I thought I would. Knowing that I always have 9mm in my pocket now probably made that adjustment a lot easier. And not just any 9mm, but Federal HST 147s .

                      Update: I checked last night and the $539 PM9s w/ CT laser are gone, it's back up to normal prices.

                        i'm glad to hear the positive stories. seems everyone on the internet just wants to bash whatever choice you make and tell you how bad your gun of choice sucks and how you would be a fool to stake your life on "your gun here". I've pretty well made up my mind that the cm9 is the way to go for me. I like the size and to me that's much more important in this case. I believe that as with any gun there is a chance to get a lemon but other than that I'll run it through it's paces and find out what it'll run good with and be done. Thanks for the replies, nice to have somewhere to go where the people actually have personal experience with the product discussed. Merry Christmas Ya'll !!!

                          Many of the LGS and internet places had the CM9 for $299.95. I got mine from Palmetto State Armory with free shipping (saved $17). They are out of them now but they restock pretty quick.

                            the problem i have around here is finding someone to ship it to. nobody wants to transfer guns. i guess they get mad cause they don't get the sell. i mean i get that but it just sucks ya know.

                              http://www.gunbroker.com/FFL/DealerNetwork.aspx This is where you can find a dealer that accepts transfers.

                                When you buy at Budsgunshop, there is a page where you can locate all the dealers who do transfers in your area. And they even list which ones are "preferred" dealers with a copy of their FFL paperwork already on file with Buds, and a guaranteed price for the transfer (usually $25-30). It cost me $25 for my transfer, and the dealer/range (Nexus in Davie, FL) even gave me a free hour of range time like they do with their own sales of new guns. It was my first online gun purchase and was very easy and painless. I'm not trying to sell anyone on Buds, it was my first time buying there so your experience may vary. Their price was fantastic and unbeatable, the next closest one was $200 more for the same gun with laser. I will say that shipping was slow, it didn't ship for about 10 days, although they stayed in contact and were friendly and apologetic for the delay. They do charge extra for credit cards, so use your bank account to avoid 3%.
