Received my new CM9 last week and made my fist ever trip to an inside range while visiting relatives in another city. Fired 100 rounds this first time out with no problems at all (other than trying to sight the little gun wearing bi-focals). Been several years since I've fired a gun with open sights, always have used scopes - even installed a scope on my S&W .357 mag for better sighting. And I did do all the prep, cleaning, and oiling first.
Finally decided it was better to concentrate on the sights and let the target be a little fuzzy rather than trying to keep the target in perfect vision. Did manage to keep most of my rounds in the space of a large saucer at 15-20 feet, know I can do better with more practice. This little gun is really a good handfull when it goes off (gotta remember to keep my other thumb out from back of the side though) , especially after running out a few rounds also with my Beretta 85 SA/DA .380. Course the Beretta is not a very good CCW either.
