New KAhR owner here... Making the transasition from a Colt officer to a CM9. There is just not enough room anymore for me and the 1911 in the same pair of pants.

Currently looking for a good holster so any sugestions would be great.

Thanks,

Andy

Welcome from a little bit north.

Look at PJ Holsters and Garretts Silent Thunder. Both popular around here. Both first class easy to work with people.

Welcome from another Oregonian. Great place to hang your hat, lots of good into found here. Enjoy the CM9. I carry IWB in either a Kusiak Leather or PJHolster Kydex, both very comfy. Most of my carry is pocket, and for that I use the Galco Pro, while my brother uses the PJHolster Pocket version. :D

Welcome to the forum, Iim1awh! :) There is a wealth of valuable information in the New Member Area (http://kahrtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56) and the Kahr-Tech (http://kahrtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27) sections of the forum.

And welcome to the CM9 Owners Club! :D Our official symbol is the wide grin smily because we are so happy with our purchase that we can't wipe the smiles off our faces!

Here is your club badge.

The best holster I have found for forget-it-is-there comfort 24/7 with my CM9 is the PJ IWB Holster (http://pjholster.com/?page_id=37). There are so, so many members here that will concur. Paul is a great guy and a real gun lover, and he performs magic with kydex - making the holster incredibly comfortable to where you can't tell it is there whether sitting, standing or moving about. It is like the mass of the gun disappears, becoming one with your body. I carry mine with a 15° cant just behind my hip - the sweet spot. I prefer the one linked above with the over the belt clip. I normally wear the above under a loose shirt.

Welcome aboard from a fellow web foot. I have a PJ pocket holster that I use a ton for my CM9. Like it a lot. Tried some of the softer versions and for some reason the kydex feels more secure to me, and easier to draw from. For IWB I have the silent thunder, which I like a lot. Very snug fit and very comfortable.

Welcome to the forum, Andy!

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:
http://www.kahr.com/PDF/kahrmanual.pdf
Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!
Take down and re-assembly videos:

K series:

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.
Frequently asked questions: http://www.kahr.com/faq.asp?
There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!
