My relationship with Kahr has been on again, off again, and now happily on again. I carried a PM9 as a narcotics agent in NC for several years that was super reliable right out of the box. It was the perfect tool for the job as it carried the most firepower in the smallest, most concealable package. As it was department owned, had to turn it in when I left NC to move to Fla. Purchased my own PM9 when I got to Florida and first day at the range, the slide locked up about a 1/4 inch out of battery. My LGS said they had never seen anything like it before and they couldn't even get it unlocked. That scared me away from Kahr and I traded it for a glock 26. Great gun but not a pocket gun and harder to conceal. Anyway, been reading about the CM9 and decided to give Kahr another chance. Found one for 399, much easier to handle than the cost of a PM9. Picked it up today and first took it home to follow the prep guide I found on here. Thank you Jocko and all the other contributors for helpful advice. I am happy to report first 100 rounds through without a single malfunction. Fed her a box of Winchester 124 grn and a box Federal 147 grn. Slide locked back after empty magazine every time and accuracy was just as good as I remembered it with my first Kahr. Hopefully, it will continue to be as reliable as well.

The CM9 is a beautiful gun. Very successful since its release, seeing as how it is essentially a PM9 with mostly cosmetic changes to reduce the price, and the PM9 was already a proven and solid performer. We have a club here called the Big Grin Club, or officially the CM9 Owners Club. The club logo is a big wide grin smily because we are so delighted with our pistols that we can't get that grin off our faces! Here is your badge! :D

Congrats & enjoy Taylo2 from a fairly new CM9 owner also. I have fallen in love with the CM9, which has replaced the LCP in my CC rotation. At the recommendation of JFootin, I now enjoy IWB carry @ 4 o'clock in the PJHolster. IMHO, the best pocket size 9mm on the market today. Again, welcome to the ":D" club & enjoy your new family member. :D
