CM9 mags....where are they?

[laszlo]

Picked up my brand new cm9 today. Need a spare mag.

Does ANYBODY know where I can find 6rd. mags? Everywhere is sold out.

[KoolBreeze]

Kahr's website is the only place I've been able to find them. Still debating on whether to just bite the bullet and order a couple or wait till they come back in stock elsewhere cheaper.

I just ordered 2 from Kahr for my CM9. Kinda expensive at $40 bucks each but hey they had them. I wanted to order a fiber optic sight anyway. Make it worth your time and order something else like a new recoil spring or something. Jim

I got a new a new 7 round Kahr from a seller on ebay for $31 shipped a couple days ago

[laszlo]

Not sure I want to do it but I have an option on a 7 round. I just keep reading about reliability problems on the larger magazines, especially the eights. I'm kind of a stickler on reliability. Break in periods are expected but consistent problems are unacceptable. This is my first Kahr so I'm new at this. :confused:

[LProf]

My seven round magazine has proven to be completely reliable.

[AH.74]

Out of eight magazines, 7 6-rounders in my CM9 and PM9 have been perfect. The only one to fail was the 7-rounder that came with the PM9, and the jams were very serious and required a good amount of fight to clear- the jam was that bad.

I would not recommend the 7-rounders based on just this. I don't think it's worth it, I hate the way they look, and the added length defeats the purpose IMO.

If you don't want to wait I would go ahead and order them from Kahr while they're still in stock. People are paying crazy money for mags. Just yesterday I saw a 6-rounder go on ebay for 50 dollars. Granted it had a pearce extension, but 50 for one of these mags is crazy.

6 round mags may be pretty sparse. Obama is trying to limit us to one round mags, so a 6 round mag may be hard to find.

I bought two new 7-round mags for my cm9 and they arrive tomorrow. Going to try to pop in to the range to test them out. I've heard that the 7-round mags work just fine so we shall see!

Got them on Ebay and paid $69 for them plus $4-$5 for shipping. Cheaper than getting from Kahr and they have two more up right now for the same price. There is another auction for two of the same that has a day left and is up to $80 range already. I have seen one mag going in the high $40's to high $50's on Ebay so the price I paid wasn't so bad I suppose.

Here are the two for $69:

:biggrin1: I believe we were watching the same auction. I'm just glad we weren't bidding and running each others money up :eek: I agree, it's bananas

[KoolBreeze]

I ended up picking up a 6 round at my LGS today for $39.99. That's way too much.

I ordered a 6-rounder from Midway USA about a month ago. It was on backorder. Finally arrived last week.

Isn't it kind of goofy that there is a run on 6-round magazines when none of the gun-control measures proposed by Comrade Obama would affect 6-round magazines?

But if this hysteria continues, maybe when the going price for these mags gets up to about $100 each, I'll sell off three of them and put the money toward that new shotgun I've been thinking about.

[n9znd]

If they get to be that much I will be getting a 686 of something in a revolver and be done with it. 3 Days to get my 6 rounders from Kahr. They came in a plastice bag together in no packaging. They saved money there. $40 each but worth it to me at this time. Jim

[Keltyke]

If someone had a line on a 7 round PM/CM9, please let me know!!!

[KoolBreeze]

I was in another LGS yesterday and noticed he had a some magazines, so I picked up another 6 rounder in 9mm for $35. He also had 2 7 rounders hanging on the rack. I think they were also marked $35.

[97hmcs]

Eight back in stock, 25.95 ea. I ordered 2. Shipping was $5.00. Let's share folks, don't buy too many!

[GROTMAN]

Only 6 left now, I just bought 2. Been checking their website nightly and was the first time they had any available. :D

[laszlo]

Thanks 97. Just ordered one. Now all I need is more ammo. I've been so busy I haven't even had time to get to the range with my new pistol yet.

I too have been checking various sites on a daily basis, got lucky on this one.

You're welcome. Happy to hear you got one.

[97hmcs]

I just noticed they are all gone. I hope they sold to forum members.

[Cristofori]

I just bought a CM9 a few days ago from my local LGS, and luckily they had one extra mag left which I promptly shelled out $40 for. I didn't want to pay that, but I had to have more then one mag, and I knew it wouldn't be easy to find one at this time.

There is no reason I can think of why single stack Kahr mags should cost this much or be that hard to find. They are SINGLE STACKS for crying out loud! :eek:

No thanks!

I agree, they are priced way too high. They are $40.00 on the Kahr site and I just couldn't do it. I was happy to find them for $26.00.

Day late and a dollar short as usual :D Thanks for the update though:D

[ktmrider]

Just got a 7round at my local shop for $34

[PNine64]

Yeah, when I bought mine back in November I picked up a spare from Midway to get "started"...then the madness hit. I've been focused on the potential future "unobtainium". Shoot the little 6 rounders even still legal in NY (although "hi capacity NY mags").

:rolleyes:

[kflo01]

check midwayusa.
I ordered a 6 rounder yesterday,7 Rounders are in stock also.

Thanks! Picked up a couple from them

[sealion]

Broke down and bought a 6 rounder from Kahr last week. Walked into my LGS Saturday and he had a 7 rounder that looked new for $25. Came home with me. I greatly dislike the ugly, extended mags, but for the price, I couldn't leave it. It will only see range use anyway. I disassembled it when I got home and the spring was coated with what looked like the original packing grease. Cleaned and reassembled it. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet.

[MC1911]

Hoarders are doing a better job than Obama at gun control. This is not a direct response to your question but avoid rip off prices and buy them where reasonable. I saw Them at a store called Mills Fleet Farm for about 35 bucks. I bought one for my CW9.

[Johnnydwoods]

I got lucky yesterday while in a relatively new LGS, as I saw an extended 7-round mag sitting on display for $12. After double checking the price, I made sure to pick it up. Looks like it has never been used but it was not in any packaging.

It will go nicely with my other 3 6-rounders. If it doesn't work flawlessly like my others, I may send it back to Kahr and exchange for a 6-rounder. :D

[Harrylee]

Hey guys I would move fast I just looked on midway usa they show two 6 round is stock.HURRY

[wyntrout]

I buy a lot of magazines and the first thing that I do with the Kahr ones is take them apart and clean the tube of the grease and crud on the inside. I use 320-grit sandpaper to finely smooth the edges of the the followers... not the metal pin, though... and the bottoms of the sides and skirts. I also take the 320-grit and lightly check for burrs on the retention notch inside and out, and smooth the feed lips a smidgen. I want the follower to fall freely from the bottom to the top on re-assembly. I then put a few drops of Tetra oil on my fingers and rub it all over the spring before assembly. I usually have no problems except for the odd weak rack causing a feed ramp dive. A firm overhand rack without any drag on release will work every time, though... better than a slide release, usually!:D
It's essential that a free end of the spring be to the front under the follower for maximum lift... that's kind of "obvious" but can be overlooked.
I hold the magazine tube in my weak hand, rear against my palm and gather the spring into it with my thumb keeping it in place until I can slide the locking plate over the top of the spring, under my thumb. Then I compress the plate and spring enough to start the base plate on and seat that fully to the rear. Sometimes a rap to the palm of my hand is needed to get the locking plate nib into the hole in the base. I might put a tiny bit of oil on the outside of the tube and then wipe the whole magazine down with a rag to get most of the oil off. Excess oil will hold dirt and lint.

I do everything but the sanding on other magazines. The XD45 are just terrific to take apart and re-assemble. The 1911 ones really vary as many have welded bases and some are really difficult to take apart and re-assemble, but there's a knack to that and sometimes I have to use an awl, pin, or small screwdriver to hold the spring down during the process, but never with the Kahrs.

MidwayUSA.com has them in stock now. I orderd mine last week. Got 1 6 rounder. I dont like the way the 7 rounder looks or fits in the gun.
