CM9 Break In - Pull the trigger and it goes bang! Yea!

[SpeedVision]

Long time stalker, first time poster!

220 rounds, zero issues. Pretty boring, really (ok, it was a blast). I just expected it to give me grief every time I pulled the trigger. Read too much on the web and you get paranoid. :D

Anyway, fed it Federal, Remington and Winchester bulk (all from Wally World) and not even a hiccup.

I did follow the post purchase tear down and lubrication guidelines. Racked the slide a few hundred times, then relubed with TW-25b on all the key areas. Cleaned the mag and reassembled without any lube.

Happy camper. Love the trigger! Smooth and predictable.

Now just need to get some Talon grips because the stock grip was like a mini cheese grater on my right ring finger. No biggie, I have other guns that are better suited to blowing through a few hundred rounds at the range. Probably put another 100 rounds through it before I move over to hollow points, then in the holster it goes.

I didn't really intend to post another range report, but the gun exceeded my expectations to the extent that I had to. Have fun, be safe!

edit - 2nd trip to the range abd 100% success after another 200 rounds including hollow points. I'm a very happy camper!

Glad you enjoy it. Mine has been flawless through 1000 rounds of WWB, Fed Champ, Blazer Brass, Speer Lawman, Remington UMC, Speer Gold Dots, Winchester PDX1. The CM9 ate it all and asked for seconds. Welcome, and happy shooting.

Congrats on the cm9! I see you've already figured out why we adopted :D as our symbol! These lil guns are awesome, and just get better with more rounds. Welcome to the forum! O n +1 on the Talon rubber grips... i put em on my cm9, and love em!

I saw Talon just upped their price $1 on all their grips. Had em on my PF9 but I don't mind the stock grips on the Kahrs.

speedvision, just goes to show. don't believe everything u read. Lots of internewt trolls running around, ...

kahrs are very ver trouble free. we put together with the help of the forum members some nice tutorials kand suggestions over on the kahr tech section. some have criticised that kahrs need alot of TLC due to all the suggestions and smallfixes noted on the kahr tech section. i SAY b. s. TO THAT. This fourm is full of informative guys that can help a shooter enjoy his kahr and other guns with alittle premptive TLC. Buy a gun take it home, do nothing and 90% of tyhe time the gun is gonna be OK. Buy a gun. and take it home and do some premptive TLC to it and 99% of the time it is gonna be great.

Kahr calls um break i rounds, some criticise that wording but WTF, u buy a gun u shoot it, THAT IS BREAKING IT IN even it it goes bang every time, it is still a new gun being shot and broken in. How many buy a new car and literally drive it off the dealer lot and then drive the living piss out of it???


I just took my pm9 THAT i traded my lcp for, This PM9 is VA45xx made around late 03,. It was in the barrel recall sequence back then, but I know that mostly all kahrk did back then when the barrels was sent in was polish the hell ouot of the feed ramp, so I did thgat myself tonight, but it shot for my buddy with nbever a belch. I did the prep thing and found the mag follower was grabbing a tad to, but accoriding to my buddy it never belched either. I fixed it anyway, and took it out after a proper lubing by the kahr lubechart and striker channel spray cleaning and shot 100 flawless rounds thorugh the gun. I knbew it was OK before I went though, They gun is very smnooth and I would suspect if it has had 500 rounds thorugh it, it was lucky. My buddy who bought it used never shot 50 rounds through it. He wated my Ruger lcp more thaqn I did. Some white nail polish on the front sight and this gun for me is good to go. I doubvt if I magna port it or do any custom sh!t to it. It willbe my home alone gun alot. but I do like the gun. It has the stainless finish slide. It came with two mags also, original box and papers, not a bad deal for me as it was an even up trade and it is the blunt nose version PM9 to, which I truyly love..

Love my CM9...one of my main ccw...many flawless rounds thru it...

Welcome and glad you like your new Kahr. My PM9 just gets better and better.

[jokester]

I carry my cm9 with no worrys. Its been flawless.:33:

[SpeedVision]

Thanks for the welcomes and comments.

Have a Highnoon Bare Asset on the way. Thought I would start out with a simple 4-5 o'clock carry to see what makes sense for me. Spent more time looking for a holster than I did shopping for a gun. N82, PJ, Kholster, and my sentimental favorite James Dean Holsters...lots to choose from.

I swear I saw them earlier today at $11.99 up from $10.99. Now I checked again and they are even more now...

Price:$14.99
2 or more:$13.99 each
3 or more:$12.99 each
4 or more:$11.99 each
5 or more:$10.99 each

I guess at the original $10.99 they must have felt they were giving them away. Thanks to Hickok45 for driving up the price ;)

[itsthelaw]

I liked my first one so much, I bought a twin the next week. Both have been flawless and they are a lot of fun to shoot!:D:D

I bought my Talon Grips a couple of weeks ago for $10.99. Appears they went up to $14.99!

That must be the Hickok effect coming into play. Have him mention them and then go up 40%.

Their not worth 15 bucks that's for sure.
