My question has undoubtably been addressed here so I apologize for the redundancy.....I just thought since I was new to the forum, I'd introduce myself, ask my question and get a conversation started:).
Like I said I'm new to the forum, but I'm on several other forums under the same user name. For a couple of days now, I've had "the itch".....BAD and today I had to scratch it and went to the LGS and purchased a new CM9. I'm a big fan of subcompact 9mm pistols and have owned many....G26, G27, PPS, P2000SK, LC9, R9S, etc.....I have a bad habit of selling guns to fund other projects and recently have not had a "pocket 9" and have been carrying a G23 daily. Just yesterday I put my name on the Boberg waiting list and I know that I'll purchase another Rohrbaugh someday too. But in the mean time I "had" to get something else. I owned a Kahr once before and did not like the trigger (compared to Glock). To be honest I probably didn't give it a fair chance. Since then I have gotten used to some other DAO designs, some that were good (P250) and others not so much (LC9). So as I was thinking what could tide me over until I get the Boberg and can afford to buy another R9S, I started thinking about the CM9. I watched the review on gunblast.com and was interested. I started shopping online and was surprised to see they're only going for starting at about $377. I decided this a.m. that if I could find one locally for close to gunbroker.com prices I was going to pull the trigger today. Well LGS had one for $389 so I went over there, fondled it, stuck it in my pocket, etc. and then said "I'll take it", filled out the requisite paperwork, paid and was out the door in a matter of 15 minutes.
I'm excited, as I always am when I make a spontaneus gun purchase. I got back to work and field stripped the gun. This is where my question comes in. I noticed a lot of plastic shavings on the frame rails. I wiped them off and saw several good sized gouges out of the plastic frame rails themselves. I'm assuming these shavings were just from the test firing done @ the factory before it was sent to the distributor and dealer. I don't imagine it's going to affect the function any, but still it is somewhat bothersome. Do I need to contact Kahr.....or is this normal with the Kahr poly frame guns? Like I said I'm sure this has been addressed here, unless this issue is specific to MY CM9 only, but I thought I'd open up discussion on the topic again to get as much feedback from other CM9 / PM9 owners. Thanks!
