CM9 Didn't Perform Today

[kwh]

Yep. But at least I owned up to my own stupidity.

You are not alone. I did the same thing while trying out my new CW380 along with my CM9. My eye sight also is not as good as it once was . Caught my mistake the same way and no harm done. Also the reason I do not want a 20 ga.shotgun in addition to my 12 ga., or add a .270 Win. in addition to my 30/06 rifle. I always wear eye protection but hope I would never "need" them.

Back to the range today. Happy to report all is well. 100 rounds through the CM9 and no problems. Thanks for not rubbing my nose into it too far....

I would like to tell you how foolish I felt after reading all the stickies and still over oiling. Long story short. Don't do it. It can make a 100% CM9 do crazy things.

I loaded 380 into my Glock 26. They fed and fired but wouldn't eject. After 3 rounds I figured it out. They shot pretty well actually. Stuff happens as they say.

My K40 doesn't like 9mm ammo. Stovepipe, stovepipe, oops. The only time I have had a Kahr malfunction.

I'm beginning to think that this thread needs to be renamed; something like the Kahr Confessional.

Forgive me for I have sinned.

If we are going to start confessing, I will mention the time I had 2 identical Sig 239's out. Well, not really identical, one was 9mm and the other was 40 S&W. Fired a 9mm out of the 40 with no damage to the gun. As far as firing a 380 out of a 9mm, not sure there is much of an issue there, but would not expect the gun to cycle. Here is a test of "380 +P" in a 9mm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgOa25NhFio Note that Shootingthebull said if he had a Kahr P380 or a Beretta pico? he would have tested the ammo in those 380's because the manufactures claim they can handle 380 +P. There is no SAAMI standard for +P in 380, but if you feel the need, the Kahr is probably the way to go.

I confess, my friend did it just the other day. No really, it was he. He had a .40 cal round loaded in the mag of his CW9 and at first couldn't figure out why it would not load. Go figure.

Back in the good old days my "old man" used to tell me to be sure my brain was engaged before disengaging the safety.
