New guy with CM9 question.

[MBSL500]

Hello,

I just picked up a lightly used CM9.
On both sides of the slide, there is a VERY slight depression that runs from front to back, the width of the "KAHR" "CM9" lettering.
It's more apparent under the right light.

Not a big deal obviously and it won't effect performance, just wondering if
anyone else has this "blemish" on their CM9?

Thanks.

There is no depression on the slide of my CM9. Blemished Kahr pistols are marked with the letter B on the trigger guard. I doubt that this cosmetic blemish will effect accuracy or reliability.

I had a little time so I cleaned it up.
I disassembled the slide, extractor, striker etc. and then lightly block sanded both sides of the slide with 800 wet/ dry.
Then I glass beaded the slide at 80 PSI.
It looks absolutely perfect.

I don't think the "blemish" would have shown up in a picture.

Oh, so yer a nit picker. Well, alrighty then. Sounds like you did a great job. Nice you had access to a bead blaster. Stick around. You may be a good fit here. We like tinkerers.
