What would you suggest?

Is anyone familiar with the "CW9"?

VietVet68, I have the CW45,CW9 and PM9. If your looking to replace your LCP as your pocket carry then I would go with the CM9. I replaced my LCP with the PM9, it makes for a great pocket carry.

I stillhavemy lcp but it is so so loney sitting there allthe time that I just recently threw my P380 in the same drawser with it so they can both play together and both can be lonely. I just really have no use for my 380's anymore thanks to my PM9.

Old Salt hit that nail on the head..

Thank you very much, I was looking for someone who owned both the LCP and the PM9 to respond with their comparison and you just did. The PM9 seems to be the answer but last week I read about their latest offering, the CM9.





It appears that the CM9 is bare bones version of the PM9 with at least one MIM part. I've seen a few on GB and some are priced around $450.

I have a CW9 and a CM9 and a LCP, all great guns, and each one has it's purpose. I agree completely with what Chief Joseph said above. If you want to pocket carry a 9mm then go with the CM9.
I would (and did ) keep my LCP. It's hard to beat for easy pocket carry no matter what you are wearing.

Since you have a LCP, here are some comparison pics to the CM9 for you.
LCP vs. CM9

Your pics are very helpful as I didn't realize how much thicker the frame on the CM9 is when compared to the LCP. Does the mag in the CM9 really hang down that far? It looks like it could get snagged on clothing pretty easily.

I did just that, sold my LCP and got a PM9 (CM9 wasn't out yet). Kind of kick myself, but how was I to know the CM9 was on the horizon?

That said, my PM9 I have 0 regrets about - it's never once had an issue with 4 kinds of ammo run through it so far and over 500 rounds eaten up and spit out. It's my daily carry weapon and I bought it to protect my family and myself so I wanted something I could rely on if I ever needed it - it's been a true pleasure owning this gun.

I'd recommend a SmartCarry and/or Silent Thunder holster for it, both great choices!

Now that you know about the CM9 would you buy it instaed of the PM9?

I honestly don't know... since my PM9 has been trouble free it's hard to say I would have done things any differently, but it doesn't mean that had I bought a CM9 that it wouldn't be trouble free as well.

The reason I got the PM9 was to protect my family with a small pocket-able handgun in 9mm (because my XDM is also a 9mm).

I don't miss the LCP at all and can pocket carry the PM9 all day, or use the SmartCarry and regain all my pockets.

CM9 / PM9 I don't think you can go wrong.
