New Gun Dilemma

[siam]

I have a dilemma on my hands. Looking for a new carry gun & narrowed it down to 3. Used (like new) Kahr CM 9, New Kahr CW 380, & the new Glock 42. all 3 are close in size , weight & all have 6+1. Price are close CM 9 $395, CW 380 $365 Glock $459- $499. What or which one would you pick.

Thanks Mike

PS tried to add poll but do not know how.

Kahr CM 9, New Kahr CW 380, & the new Glock 42. all 3 are close in size , weight & all have 6+1.

If size and capacity differences are negligible in your opinion, I would choose 9mm over .380.

Kahr cm9 I would say. Its very reliable, its a 9mm. For deep cover I would get the cw380 because its smaller.

I wouldn't buy a CM9 at that price. I have seen them around here NIB for around $330. For me, it would be the reason behind the purchase. If you want a pocket pistol, then one of the 380s would suffice. If you wanted something that packs a punch, fits in the pocket or comfortably IWB, then go with the CM9.

Remember with the Glock's lighter trigger, you will have to use a holster with it.

I daily carry a CM9 in my pocket. My CW .380 is too small & used as occasional back-up only. My CW 45 is IWB when I don't pocket carry. CM9 with a good price and warranty would be my choice. I never considered a Glock just because I do not like them and agree with DeaconKC on above post.

You sort of knew you weren't going to get a Glock recommendation on KahrTalk didn't you?

Mine was NIB at $344 about ten days ago, plus only the local punitive 9% sales tax, IOW, no background ck fee, etc...

If you are inferring that his other choices, the CM9 and the CW380, can be safely carried in a pocket without a holster, I absolutely disagree.

+1. I cringe when I see anyone carry a pocket gun with no holster.

If it were me I'd get the CW 380, because that's a gun always with you if you need it.

I plan to OWB carry the one I get. As far as CM 9 price I can order on line for $338 + shipping + $25 Fl. transfer fee, so would be $370.

I carried in pocket without a holster for years with no problems. I carried AIWB without a holster for years without any problems. Of course, you have to be mindful of what you are doing and that isn't a common practice now days. I do recommend using a holster that covers the trigger no matter how you carry.

[DavidR]

Since you'll carry OWB I'd go with the CM9.

Carry without a holster, and who cares about you, it's everyone else that's in danger. I wouldn't purchase any of them. Get a new one.
