I'm not going to take the Qwik Grip off my CM9 to look, but it must not be noticeable because I never saw it.

If I find something I feel is wrong, flawed or defective I always feel better if other ones have the same problem with theirs.

Well, it's just conjecture based on my observations being a Kahr owner and a member here for 3 years. Over all, Kahrs are dependable, durable firearms that are easy to carry and a pleasure to shoot. I think there is room for improvement in quality control, and ongoing issues with the design of the mags that really should be addressed.

But that being said, my CM9 is the most well liked gun I have ever owned in over 40 years of adulthood and gun ownership.

I agree...i've only been on this forum maybe a year and have owned my only kahr the same amount of time. The only issues i've ever heard about are the ones i've read here. My k9 is quite dependable too and i do trust it with my life. Every Kahr I've run across, be it mine or someone else's, has been complaint free.

Wow this thread has been interesting to read. So here it is. My CM9 is perfectly fine.

First 6 shots @ 10 yards-


Remington Golden Sabers 124gr +p @ 10yds-

The line is something that I didn't expect to find, and thought that it was a crack of some sort. I know that it is NOT a crack and it seems to just be normal for some strange reason.

I am amazed at how well the gun shoots. The recoil is extremely manageable even with the 124gr +p loads. Not a single failure even though there is supposed to be a 200 round brake in period. Compared to my my j-frame, this is so much softer shooting. Plus higher capacity and quicker to reload. To me this is the perfect pocket gun for ME. This is an excellent firearm and would recommend it to anybody.

Glad to hear it! It's one of the reasons a common response on this forum is go shoot the gun and then see what you think. Kahr's really are impressive for the small package they come in. My K9 is just amazing. It also didn't need a 200 round break in...I have over 200 rounds through it now and have never had a single problem.

[jocko]

yup

as we had a fellow "past poster here who had some issues with his kahr and basically told the forum he was done with it and then proceeded to posthis issue on anutter gn forum. that is how things spread like wildfire. One issue can end up on 10 gun forums and then those members relate it further on etc. Not just kahrs, no gun maker is immune to this type of internet b-sh!t.

One has to trust his judgement, read as much as he can, believe most nuttin, see if u can find the gun of ur choice to test fire etc. Make ur decision based on ur findings not what ol jocko or some outher d!ck posts

Got a new CM9 and it has the same mark. Checked with a light and it's not a crack. Sounds like this is a common frame mark. Took it to the range & no issues. I don't think I'd worry a whole lot about it.

[JoeyG]

OMG!!!!! I just noticed my frame is black!!!! WTF is going on anyway!!!!

That's some funny stuff there!!

[muggsy]

After seeing all of those cracks and mold marks, I looked my CM9 over from top to bottom and inside out and couldn't find a flaw, so I took a scribe and put a few in. Hell, I don't want my gun to appear to be different from all the others.

[jocko]

good idea, I thought about that myself but after stippling the grip, I think I must have covered up the cracks and mold marks. I can assure my my pMJ9 which to most looks like sh!t would not get top bucks like a stock PMJ9 would. one does what he wants to do and should not worry about the resale value part or what ol jocko thinks. If it please u, thatis all that matters.

Mind u thought I did not do any of this mod stuff to my PMJ9 ujtil I was satisfied it was running like a rosrter after a hen, or in laymans terms, elellen degenerate after Rosie O,, and that it was gonna be my ccw gun 24/7.

Break in procedure for new carry gun:

1. Closely follow manufacturers procedure for the break-in process to assure proper function and reliability. Take extreme care in avoiding any damage to finish of firearm, in case the gun must be returned to manufacturer for repair or even replacement.

2. After reliability has been proven, and the firearm has been proven to be desirable for long term ownership and carry use, the following steps are in order to assure the owner/user will be comfortable in carrying/using a new firearm:

a. Apply light to medium pressure to a small piece of 80-100 grit sand paper to one side of the barrel (revolver) or slide (pistol) to leave an obvious artificial character mark.

b. Using any small, sharp object (corner of a file, chisel, rusty nail, etc.) make a small, but obvious, mark on the grip (opposite side from the above noted step "a")

3. Obtain a proper, comfortable holster for the firearm, keep it (the firearm) clean and properly lubed, and as Jocko says "shoot it like you stole it"

4. Carry 24/7 and have no regrets about small, insignificant superficial things.
