I bought a CM 9 about 2 weeks ago. I had one of the first Kahr pistols that came out in the 90's and liked it well enough. I scoured the net (mainly KahrTalk) for a few weeks before purchasing a CM 9 and the only thing that kept popping up was the 200 rd break in.
When I got the pistol home I cleaned and lubed it, and over the next couple of days , hand cycled it around 1500 times before I actually had time to shoot it. Since then Ive put a little over 200 rds through it of various types of ammo including 115, 127, and 147 gr. I have shot both standard and +p.
I honestly wasnt expecting much but I have been more than satisfied with the performance of this weapon. Of over 200 rounds I have had no malfunctions of any kind. The accuracy greatly suprised me. I can keep all 6 rds in a golfball sized group at 10 yards.
The only thing I really dont care for is the trigger reset, which is all the way at the front of the trigger pull. This just takes a little getting used to and all the positives far out weigh this tiny negative.
As for a pocket pistol, I paid $365 for mine out the door. Its almost as small as most of the "reliable 380's", ammo is cheaper, Its more powerful, and has the same mag capacity. I no longer see the need for a pocket 380 with this little jewel out there.
Thanks for your help guys! I love this little pistol!
