I bought a new CM9 a couple of weeks ago, and the pistol is running perfectly. Only have 75 rnds through it so far (ran out of daylight first time out), but not one failure to feed,extract,or ignite.
Trigger pull long, but smooth and light for my purpose of concealed carry. Accurate at the 10-15 yards I've been shooting. FMJ or JHP's...this thing is an excellent pistol.
The only "problem" I'm having is the top front of the ejection port is shredding my Don Hume JIT slide holster when drawing the pistol.
Anybody have this problem? I suppose I could just pocket-carry the pistol, like I intended when I bought it. Or I could try to "break" the sharp edge of the ejection port cut-out that's doing a number on that area of the lightly shaped leather holster.
I've put some mink oil paste on the interior of the holster, wrapped the pistol in a couple of sandwich-size baggies, and stuffed the gun in the holster to try to expand it to give the pistol a little more room in which to slide in and out.
I've probably screwed up the holster by "softening" it with the mink oil, or maybe not. I'll see in the next few days. Since I don't do much leaping around any more (since my 3rd back surgery last year), gun retention in the holster might not be a problem.
Wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this, but since I noted a thread that was asking whether the PM9 is worth the extra $$ over the CM9, maybe this is one of the considerations in making the decision. I, personally think the CM9, though not smoothed/rounded as extensively as the PM9 might be, is still worth every penny I spent on it. I can use the extra $$ to put to my next Kahr, or on some extra ammo.
If anybody has any experience with this "problem" I'd like to hear your opinions/suggestions.
Thanks, here, and thanks to Kahr for giving the average guy a really high quality alternative to the more expensive PM series pistols.
