New CM9 owner

[dirtkicker]

Love the weapon, 250 rounds, 2 stovepipes w/tulo ammo. Remington was perfect as was Speer GD 124gr LE rounds.

I had one issue. Every time I fed Sellier & Bellot ammo it would jam on the initial feed everytime, and I mean everytime. I was using the slide release to charge the weapon. I would have to take my knife and insert it in behind the round and slide to free it up enough to release the mag and then free the round. After 4 times I quit using the S&B. Other than that it was perfect.

Welcome to the forum, dirtkicker! :) We happy CM9 owners are thinking about renaming this CM9 Lovers Forum! :rolleyes:

That S&B ammo is extra long. Probably what caused that. After another few hundred rounds, it might work.

Need a good holster? I am a lefty. I have a PJ Clip On Belt Loop IWB (http://pjholster.com/?page_id=37) holster with the over the belt kydex clip which supports the gun on top of the holster, hooks in at the bottom and is easy on/easy off. I carry at 8:00-8:30 (3:30-4:00 for righties), which is where he designs these holsters to work perfectly. I got it with the f.b.i. cant and standard ride height. I wear it with a thick leather belt that is 1 1/2" wide. Let me tell you, get this holster! Just $40 shipped. I and other members here will tell you it is the most comfortable holster we have ever come across. After I have had it on for a few minutes I realize that I can no longer feel it there at all! When I move around, I still cannot feel it or the mass of my CM9 because there is no shifting or moving. It becomes part of my body. I have to reach back there and touch the gun to confirm that, yes, I am carrying my gun! :D (I am a non paid volunteer spokesperson. :))

Welcome to KahrTalk! Congrats on your new CM9.

Sounds like your gun is a little picky right now but hopefully that will change with more rounds through the gun. If you're comfortable with how it is running with your preferred carry ammo then I think you're good to go.

I just ran the S&B thru my Glock17. I'll use the rem or tulo in the Kahr.

I shot low and left from 15 yards initially but gradually brought it to center. Not sure what the deal was, trigger pull maybe? I would shoot low left w/the Kahr, pick up my Glock and dead center it.

Oh, and the 'flange nut' came up missing. I called customer service and they took my address and I think he said he was sending me a return label? Not sure exactly what he meant. He was british, hard to understand, and basically took my info and hung up. I'm hoping for the part to come in the mail. Just in case I ordered a recoil assembly for back up. Figured I would need it sooner or later.

doesnt have a 3/8" trigger travel like ur kahr does. Ur kahr has no safety other than this loong but soso smooth trigger pull and travel. Don't compare a glocks trigger system to a kahrs or vice versa..

Welcome and my CM9 is a keeper at about 700 rounds. I just bought a bunch of S&B ammo (for the wife's new gun) and I'll have to try it in my CM9.

Good luck with the S&B ammo. I couldn't find anywhere else that someone had the issue I did. I'm writing it off as a fluke. I just won't use it anymore.

It sounds like he wants you to send the gun back to Kahr for repair. Call him back and ask him to send you a new recoil spring assembly instead. You'll save yourself a lot of time and money. Kahr should be willing to send it to you at no charge.

Well thats what I thought too. I'll just wait and see. If I get a return tag then I'll call. They should just mail out the little booger. It could be screwed right on when the slide is locked back.

Is the 'nut' neccessary? God knows how many rounds I fired w/o it. Prob 50 or more...
