Does this look normal???

[BuzzBomb414]

I took the CM9 for some range therapy and noticed this after I was done. I've never noticed it so am not sure if this is new or not. Notice the bulge in the frame, barrel end. It bows out slightly on both sides. Again, I've never noticed this so just want to check if this is normal.

It's perfectly normal. Every polymer frame Kahr pistol is made that way. The notch in the left front frame rail is supposed to be there, too.

Thanks, I knew about the notch but had one of those "oh ****!" moments when I noticed the bulge. Plus my guide rod nut almost came off again. Luckily I noticed before I lost it at the range. Kahr replaced it before and I assumed this one wouldn't come off. Oh well, guess I need some Loctite.

I like it. It's a nice little shooter and conceals well on my small frame especially once I made my own IWB kydex. Took me a little bit to get used to the long pull but I've grown to love it. I had to send it back awhile ago but Kahr took care of it.

acrtually it is by desigh, many shoot withg their finners in that area and that "buldge" keeps one from touchibng the slide during ejection and possbly causing malfunction

And here I though that Kahr made the frame that way for strength, because the front rails are molded into it. I learn something new every day. Whoda thunk that some shooters grip the dust cover when they shoot???
