CM40 to CM9 Trade

[ilmbaba]

Awhile back, I had bought a CM40. It made one trip back to the Mothership to check out the broken magazine follower but, other than that, it performed perfectly. I just didn't like how it handled (that 40 S&W is a bit snappy).
After a couple hundred rounds, I traded it in on something (don't remember what), but always kept looking in the rearview mirror.
After carrying a snubbie 357 for awhile, and with warm weather finally here, I picked up a CM9 (I guess I could never get the voice of Jocko out of my head, saying "You should have got the CM9."
Need to do the break-in steps posted around here, as I believe that was one reason why I never had any issues with the CM40 itself. I plan to get out and shoot it after another 425 slide racks, a breakdown cleaning, and a 10 point lube (or was it 8).
I'm smiling already because I loved the accuracy and reliability of that little shooter.
I'll post a report after I shoot some downrange.

For me, there is a world of difference in comfort between the .40 and the 9 in the CM/PM frame.

The CM9 is a fine shooter for sure and if I still had 9mm I would still have mine. But I have a bunch of .40 so it made sense for me to swap out for a CM40. Mine broke a few followers too, then I shipped it to them (on their dime) and they shaved a little bit of material off the long feed ramp and now it doesn't do that any more.

I don't personally mind the recoil of the .40 but I will say that it does jump more than the CM9.
