CM9 makes me want a CW9

[JohnR]

I got the CM9 as a pocket-size deep concealment pistol, not expecting to be able to shoot it well. Since getting a Shield and a Bersa BP9cc I carried each of those and put I think 400 rounds through the shield and 1300 rounds through the Bersa. Both are good guns but each have something about them that's not quite ideal to me. Today I shot all three, at least 40 rounds each. For some reason I used to shoot the Bersa super accurately, but now I'm all over the target. The Shield does really well for me, tight enough groups, excellent sights, the trigger is heavy but breaks clean and I can't complain, but the little bitty Kahr simply out-shot them both. Maybe it's all the revolver shooting I've been doing, I don't know.

But the tiny frame is hard for me to get used to and I'd like to get all my fingers on it. A magazine extension doesn't cut it. So I think a CW9 is in my future.

The numbers on the target are the distance in yards of each hole. Nothing to brag about, but it was tighter and closer to the center than the other two, and that's what counts.

I sold my PM9 because I prefer the P9. I like the P-sized Kahrs and have the P380 for max concealment and pocketability for disrobing at the doctors' offices.

The Glock 43 is about the same dimensions as the P9 and after getting my wife one, I'm thinking seriously of getting one of those for myself. The Glocks are reliable... something I can't always say about my Kahrs. There are more options in parts and accessories and magazines are cheaper and plentiful... with cheap upgrades in capacity... something not available for Kahrs.

I still would like to have a black P45.

If you like the kahr trigger (and I do) you cant beat the cw9. I bought the ct9 about a year ago and it is awesome. Never fails even if I try to limp wrist.

Go get one.

I have a CM9 for pocket carry and a CW9 for belt carry. I shoot them both equally well. I have small hands.

I agree with the very small size of the CM9 I picked mine up last week shot the mandatory 200 rounds and a magazine of self defense ammo and I'm in love with this little gem. I'm new to the blog and just thought I'd share that if I had any idea that this would be so awesome I would have bought the PM9. I'm new to Kahr but not to guns and look forward discovering some of the other options

My new CW9 is my edc but I also just have fun shooting it. Got her last month and not one problem through the 200 rd break in period!

Well, before I run out and drop three and a half benjamins on a CW, I'm going to give the Apex sear a chance in my Shield.

[berettabone]

I own an M&P compact, and I think the trigger is just fine, just like the trigger on my MK is fine................................your worried about dropping benjamins on a CW, want to replace the trigger on the Shield........all this and you own a Bersa????????

[JohnR]

The M&P sear is $49. I don't plan to replace the trigger. The Bersa's trigger is very light and has a very short reset, I suspect the Apex keeps it heavier than the Bersa's.

The truth is all of the reasoning above is pure BS. We keep buying and shooting different guns because we love them. Own up and admit your addiction.

I cannot deny that.

[JohnR]

Yeah, I dunno what I was thinking. The sear may make the Shield a great shooter, but I couldn't get the CW9 outta my head so I ordered one.

[JohnR]

I've got the Apex sear block in my Shield now and it does make a night and day difference in the trigger pull weight. My new CW9 should be delivered to my FFL tomorrow. It's going to be a fun range week!

See? Pure joy!
