Hello all, first time Kahr owner here. About two months ago I decided to buy my first firearm (an M&P 9c) and apply for my TX CHL. I took a basic handgun safety and SD class at a local range and then the CHL class itself. In the mean time I've been reading a lot and trying to put in as much quality range time and dry fire practice as I can. Somewhere along the line I decided I wanted a smaller gun of the same caliber to back up or stand in for my M&P depending on the circumstances. After a lot of research and writing off other options like the DB9 and PF-9 for various reasons I zeroed in on the CM9.
After following the cleaning, lube, and other prep procedures I found in this forum, I finally got to take it to the range today. All I can say is "WOW!" I only got to feed it 100 rounds but didn't have a single hiccup, and as I've read in many a thread, I love the smooth trigger.
I only wish I had more magazines on hand and that the one I had released freely. I did read through the thread on the mag issue but I guess I need to tweak some more. I ordered a couple 7 round mags from Promag, hopefully they perform well.
For the first few magazines I used the slide release to chamber the first round as the manual suggested. Then out of curiosity I started inserting a fresh mag and racking the slide from the locked open position. No problems. For the last few mags I racked and chambered the first round with the slide already forward and again not a single issue.
Looking forward to the next 100 rounds and beyond, especially once my rubberized Talon Grips get here! Who knows how things would have gone without following the advice I found in this forum but a heartfelt thanks to the community for putting the info out there.
