I just purchased my Kahr CM9 - and got great suggestions on how to strip it down, clean and lube - so thank you guys (hug).

Next question - I have fiber optic sights on my S&S M&P 45c and 9c, so I'm kinda used to them and would like to fit some to the CM9.

OK, I know if I draw from conceal and use in time of need, I'm not going to be looking at the sights much, but for time on the range, and maintaining my sighting skills, I'd like the sighting on the Kahr to be as close as possible to my other guns.

I saw a couple of other threads on the forum asking about optics for the CM9, but they didn't seem to come to a definitive conclusion, and the www.kahr.com site lists sights for sale, but (unhelpfully) doesn't say which guns they fit.

Any recommendations gratefully received !

PS 200 rounds of 9mm in my ammo box waiting to be put through the CM9

If you can see the square edges of your sighs, you will get best results for accuracy rather than trying to line up fiber optic dots. But if you can't see the square edges, then dots it is.

Hi
This is what we did. I know they're on PM9s and K9s but you can get an idea if what the sight picture will be like. We chose the Hi-Viz units because the have a protective shield over the F.O. rods. so that solvents won't contaminate the rods or being beat up. Also there isn't any hang up when drawing.
