Hello

[Westside]

Hello, I'm Robert and I'm a Kahraholic...Not really, I recently purchased a CM9 and I really like it. A while back I bought a CM40, regrettably I had to dump it for some quick cash. I wish I had it back, but now I have a 9mm to keep me happy. I fired 100 rounds through my 9 today, I wish I could have shot more but with the ammo shortage and all, I had to keep back 50. It was very pleasant to shoot, my only complaints with the gun is its a booger, in my opinion to take apart, and the slide feels very gritty at first. It does seem better after the 100 rounds. Anyway, I am really impressed so far, and think it will make a great deep conceal gun.
:amflag: Oh, where online can I get an extra mag?

Welcome to the forum. The mags can be had at Kahr.com, of course, but there are cheaper places... when they have them in stock, Ivanhoe is one of the best with $5 USPS Priority shipping for your whole order and FAST service.

They are out of stock and things are short all over. Check on our Marketplace and add a WTB in the appropriate subforum there. Someone else may chime in with a source at the moment.

Here's some info:

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:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

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?

One very important bit of advice: Hold the Kahr pistol firmly when firing OR CHAMBERING a round. These compact pistols need all of the force they can get from the slide to get a round into the chamber successfully. If you don't hold the pistol firmly, part of the needed momentum is transferred to MOVING THE PISTOL and the top round will DIVE and jam into the right side of the feed ramp. The weak hand, over hand rack method gives the best grip and a firm rack will give you the best chance at chambering a round.

Use the weak hand fingers over the slide(clear of the ejection port), thumb along the slide and pointing to the rear. Use the gun hand to simultaneously firmly push the gun as you give a vigorous rack with the weak hand and cleanly release the slide as it reaches the rear limit and is "snatched" from the weak hand. This approximates a real rack from firing and beats the slide release method WHEN executed properly. Much more strength can be exerted when this is done closer to the body.

Here's a video on that. The first part is what I'm talking about:

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!

Welcome! The takedown will get easier over time. I get my mags from GrabAGun.com. They seem to get them in about every 2 to 3 weeks. It is a great website.

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 linked one with the over the belt clip. It is available with j-hook, c-hook and velcro attachment method, and tuckable is an option. I have a tuckable one with velcro for if I need total concealment, but normally wear the above under a loose shirt.

I'm glad you were able to pick yourself up another Kahr, that are great pistols! I've had K9 about a year now and have been using it as my primary CC weapon since. Also welcome to the Forum...

Welcome and congrats on your new CM9. I've had mine for a few weeks now and love it. I picked up a Remora holster for it and it conceals great. I think you'll find the take down gets easier over time. I've put a little over 400 rounds through mine and can get it apart, cleaned and back together in very little time.
