Traded my CM9...

[ParabellumJ]

For a PM9! Don't ask me why because that CM9 was flawless, but when I bought it I actually wanted a PM9 but couldn't find one at a decent price so I "settled" on the CM9 (not really settled because the CM is a fantastic gun, but I still wanted the PM). I was offered a very good price for my CM and with a trade in of a PF9 (good riddance) the difference was $75 for a NIB PM9 (PM9093NA) with factory night sights. I just finished the cleaning and lube. You would not believe how much cosmoline was in that gun. After cleaning it all off the slide and frame I used some compressed air to blow out the striker channel. The cosmoline just kept coming out. So I decided to take the slide down and clean out the striker channel and extractor channel. WOW. So glad I did. It was a grease pit in there. She is now reassembled and lubed. I am going to begin racking the slide till my arms go numb and will take it to the range tomorrow for a 200 round break in. I will take some pictures tonight and post those with a range report.

Good move! Congrats on a fine gun. I may do the same some time, just to have a little brother to my PM40, which is still my favorite. The CM9 is almost too plain for me after having a PM. But I carry it every day anyway.

ParabellumJ--You need to get a CZ75B. I got one a little over 2 months ago, spent a bunch of money on parts upgrades, and it is displacing my SIGs as my favorite range gun. I have put a little over 5k rounds through it since purchase, most using a Kadet 22 conversion slide, which is excellent.

Don't I know it. But, right now my focus is on house hunting first. After I find a house and get settled I am buying my wife a XDm9 and myself a CZ 75B in Polished Stainless. Not bad house warming gifts if I do say so myself. After that a 1911 and maybe a K9 will be next.

Even though I wouldn't personally trade a cm in for a pm I am a full believer in not "settling". Doesn't matter if it's a gun, car, house etc etc etc. good move

Reminds me, I'll go update my signature to add the CZ75B. Fine gun. Fine gun.
