Always pushin the edge jocko.....
I bought my cm9 for carry. Can't beat the size and weight for that. After reding lots of reviews and then finding all the great info/help here on kahrtalk I figured I couldn't go wrong and I was 100% correct! The cm9 rocks!

Before you take that cw to the range cwhithead, be sure to check out the kahr tech section n read the prep and the lube stickies. Very good and helpful info there!

I already did took it apart and prepped it using the picture diagram and I must say I am impressed with this forum and the helpful people and jocko I guess it's good Zimmerman didn't get a lemon pf9

In my case it was plural as in seven, of which I still have four. Two were stolen and one was traded on another Kahr. Why did I buy and continue to buy them? Because they are the finest small, lightweight carry guns made, bar none, in my opinion.

OK so I just bought my cw9 and It is my first handgun. I decided to go with the kahr after looking at it and the pf9 with with all there bad hype I was just to scared to trust it with my life and I didn't like the grip. I also looked at the shield witch I also liked a lot but it being a newer gun it didn't have the track record the kahr had so that is why I chose the kahr so far I fill I made the right chose the gun looks and fills great I can't shoot it till next weekend but I will let you know how that goes. Looking forward to hearing why you guys chose kahr.

I bought my CM9 because I was looking for the lightest most compact and reliable 9MM handgun for concealed carry. I didn't need all of the bells and whistles that came with the PM9 and the cost savings of the CM9 were substantial. Be sure to read the stickies in the tech section on preping your CW9 before going to the range. It will make it a far more pleasant experience.

I got turned on to CCW when my son bought his G26. He took me shooting a few times and I decided to get my LTCF and buy a handgun. I shot his and frankly wasn't impressed. I rented a few others and again wasn't impressed. Shot an LCP and hated it.

Continued to look around and hold a bunch of small 9mm's. One shop showed me the CM9 and when I picked it up, I knew this was the one. I didn't even shoot it. Took a blind leap of faith and bought it that week. I haven't looked back.

That one lead to buying another, a used K9. I kind of put the CM9 aside for a bit and carried the K9. I got the CM9 out again last week and realized why I fell in love with it. I am now carrying the CM9 for summertime. I see others in my future but first a 1911.

I bought my CM9 because I wanted a 9mm pocket gun. It is my daily concealed carry and 100% reliable. I did run into a problem though. Now I want an MK9 with wood grips for belt carry and show. I have to admit that the MK9 is a show piece. Of course I plan on keeping both, 1 for show and 1 to go. I keep looking at the Kahr guns for sale but haven't found one yet. I wasn' wanting one or ready to buy in Janurary or I would have jumped on that one sold here by a member reducing his gun safe cache. If that gun would come back on the market, I would be an owner.

I bought mine because I learned a loooong time ago, you get what you pay for.

I was looking for something with a little more power than my Sig P232. I went to my LGS really planning on getting a Sig P239. While I was waiting I listened to the clerk talking with a LEO about the merits of the PM9. I had also read many forum posts and articles extolling the virtues of the Kahr pistols. When my time came I asked the clerk if I could see a PM9. It felt so good and looked so good I knew I had to give it a try. I brought one home and followed the recommendations on this site about prepping a new Kahr pistol. As I watched TV I racked the slide a good 500 times. The next day I went to the range and put 300 flawless rounds through it. It has been my CCW and favorite pistol ever since.

I had a LCP and was looking for a small 9mm. I was checking out a Keltec PF-9 and asked the dealer what quality complaints he had heard. The only thing he said was "if you want quality you want one of these" and handed me a CW9. He said it was a Lexus compared to a Volkswagen. That was all it took.

I brought it home and started looking for a forum with info and guess where I ended up .........

I traded the CW9 for a CM9. I love the CM9 but still miss the CW9. I'l fix that. Maybe I'll get another Kahr.

I wanted the biggest caliber smallest ccw with the most problems ever made. When I read how much trouble the cw45 had, I had to have it. Been happy ever since. J/K

I followed Kahr when they were first introduced and was all the writer lil darlings. but it wasn't until 2011 when I actually bought the cw9 as it was a $300 bargain. I gave it to my wife since i travel a lot and she developed into a great shooter with it. Then along came a k9 from a NYPD I met and that was a better gun for me (I like the heavier feel) It also became my carry gun due to it's concealabilty. For just great fun shooting,though My 1911 Kimber and my 229 Sig are the smoothest of the lot.

i love glock, they don't make a single stack (the g36 doesn't count) in a 9 or 40 that is pocketable and I didn't want to carry a 380.

[jocko]

ditto: now that I own 4 kahrs, if glock came out with a single stack, I would not buy it either. I couldnot be happier with my kahrs. I truthfully mean that.

[mightymouse]

Simply the best CC 9mm out there. No need to spend more on frivolities or features that won't make a lickof difference in real world situations. You can have your fancy names, finicky high end ego fillers, but the CM9 is still at the top.

[jocko]

probably right to!! Normally when someone agrees with me, that means we are both wrong, but not in this case.
