I have a CM9 and a CW9. Both are equally reliable. I haven't had any failures in either. Very pleased.

I recently purchased the CM40 after much debate and you can read my post below. I've put over 200 rounds through it the last two days including 5 magazines of Winchester Ranger T series JHP and it has run 100% out of the box. I was really impressed with the quality of these little pistols.

So, you haven't been reading any of the probably 500 posts in this forum by people who have bought this gun and liked it or hated it?

Hunter, my CM9 has been great. I had a couple FTF around the 100 round mark and since then its been perfect. I am in the vicinity of 500 rounds give or take a few. It was an extremely tight weapon initially but has really smoothed out. The action, trigger, and accuracy all improve the more you shoot it. I find its a little big for my pocket although I still carry it that way occasionally, but it is really easy to carry either IWB or OWB. Very easy to conceal and comfortable to carry. Go for it.

Bought it. Sorry for some reason I knew kahr had a problematic gun ( maybe the 380) so I wanted to ask quickly. Cabelas had one more in stock for $399 and it was mine if I hurried. Btw love my cw9, great firearm so far so the cm9 should be great too. It's actually smaller than the LC9, and about the same size as the PF9 which surprised me. Been waiting for a Sheild but they have over 200k on backorder so if smith can't produce them I had to go elsewhere as I got tired of waiting.

Any opinions on a IWB holster?

I have a handful of holsters for my PM9. One gets used daily. The rest collect dust, including some very nice holsters by Rosen, Hume, and others.

It's not the prettiest, but my favorite is the PJ Holster. I love it for it's simplicity, compact design, and ease of slipping it on/off.

I like my Don Hume for the CM9. It will fit the CW9 also.

Good buy on the CM9 and good you kept the CW9. I traded my CW for my CM and missed the CW9 ever since. So I bought a CW45 to replace it.

I have a CM9 and it has never had a failure to fire in over 500 rounds of any ammo. I really like the gun and the trigger pull.
As far as a holster- I vote for the PJ or Multi holster. I have one of each- one for my CM9 and one for a S&W M&P .40 compact. They are the only holsters I use now. I kind of prefer the Multi holster, but they are close in style and quality.

Sounds like you now have a CW9 and a CM9? Buy a TT for the CW9, and the CM9 "should" fit in it as well. 2 for one deal. If you don't care about a reinforced mouth, the Miles Special EC is only $75 and very nice for the price.

I have pics on a recent thread.

After a lot of research I got a CM9. Did all the prep in the sticky thread and haven't had a problem of any kind. Great little gun.

A Foxx Trapp works well for me. It'll fit your CM and CW, It's a simalar design to the PJ, but without the wait (yes, it's a little thicker do to the clip design).

I agree on the Foxx Trapp. It's my favorite IWB. One of the deciding factors for me was the ability to switch between canted and no cant. I sometimes carry appendix and like the versatility. I also think you can reduce the thickness by changing the spacer to a thinner profile. I never cary tucked so I don't really need the quarter inch to accommodate a shirt thickness.

I carry my CM9 in the PJ IWB Holster (http://pjholster.com/?page_id=37). I tell you the truth; that super thin, 1 ounce holster is so comfortable that it and the gun disappear from my perception. All day long. I even took a nap one afternoon and forgot I had it on. Realized it when I got up. I have to reach back there and touch the gun to confirm it is there - no kidding!

I tried removing the spacers and that was a no go, but I contacted Foxx about the possibility of parts to make it a thinner profile.

PJ Holster is superb. Barely adds any width to the package, is comfortable. Here's a review I did:

Ditto. I have the Crimson Trace on my CM9 and just ordered a Galco Speed paddle holster. Looking forward to trying it out.

Went to the range today with the new CM9. 105 rounds and not a single failure. Shot WWB, and a few defense loads (Federal 147, and speer 124 gr Gold dots.)

the gun is shooting lower left however.

jocko

12-12-2012, 03:37 PM

it is shooter who is shooting low and left. Give it some time andit willget better.If u realy wantto convince urself it is the shooter,k just get a half dozen snap caps and throw them in with 30 rounds and let someone load ur magazine for u. Trust me whenu hit that snap cap. ur gonna see. I am betting ur a right hand shooter also. Kahr's loooooong trigger isnot the easiest to master. I can honeslty say Ihav ennot mastered my PM9. It is whatit is.

Practice does not make perfect but perfect practice does...Stay with it, it will improve as u and thegun mate up even better...

Hunter991

12-13-2012, 10:05 AM

Not the shooter, i have many handguns including a snub nose .357 that i shoot regularily. also had a buddy of mine shoot it as well, same thing. Its not terrible but no matter what, the sights point dead center but the bullet goes lower left consistently at 21 feet. We also aimed high right and the bullets hit center (another reason i know its not the shooter) :)

Low and left the rear sight is moveable, that should take care of the lefts, low , just change ur sight icture a tad. see more of the front sight. All correctable, IMO.

Kahr does ot sightin guns, when they test fire. they shoot for a group, the fine tuning is normally up to the shooter. Just sayin.

I agree, i will probably play with it a bit to see if i can improve it. The SD ammo was actually better than the WWB stuff. All in all, its a fantastic firearm. Kahr is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I took myself off the waiting list for the SW Sheild because the CM and CW have me covered. jocko, thanks for commenting on this as well as everyone else so quickly. Also ordered the PJ holster, foxx holster and harwel to see how they work.

The SD ammo did better probably because you shot it slower! Costs more you know and want it to last. :)

more u shoot yourkahr the closer the groups will get and u might jst surprise yourself and be damn close to the 10 ring. Kahrs are unlkke any ther smi. their looooong but smooth double acrtion trigger system just takes rounds down rsange to get the hang of it. Somenever do. I can tell you, at the git go I being a lefty my shots werelow and to the right. I moved my sight every which way under the sun and one day I was on and the next day I was again off, so back and forth I went. One day at the range a fella come up and watched me and said nice but I just don't shoot it good and he asked if he could shoot it. I was low right most all the time. He shot it and he was a righty and he was low left on the first magazine and then the next magazine he wasdead nuts center. I never moved my sight again.

A good test is to buy a half dozen snap caps and throw them in with 30 rounds of ammo and let someone load your mgas for you so u don't know if one, two or none of the snap caps ar ein the gun. It ill show alot of things..

One can dry fire 24 hours a day and it just is not the same as the BANG thing happening..
