Since I first posted with issues with my new CM9, I have received the new slide spring assembly and put a total of 400 rounds (mixed FMJ & JHP) through the weapon. As I expected, it is now performing flawlessly - just like my CW45. I do have an issue but, this one is certainly operator error. These little buggers are hard to shoot(for me at least). I am not expecting split a playing card at 50 yards but to this point I am only about 60% hits on an 8" target at 7 yards. Compared to my CW45, the CM9 is much more difficult to control. I couldn't be more pleased with the functioning of the CM9. Now I have to function better. Dry fire, dry fire, dry fire. Then many more practice rounds at the range. Darn the bad luck.

Nothing some practice won't take care of.................................some people get used to shooting full size firearms, and when they drop down to the bug, it's a whole new ball game.

My CM9 has the new Automatic Adjusting Sights. When I first started shooting it I was lucky to hit a 8" X 11 1/2" target at 7 yards. The more I shoot it the more accurate it gets. Putting 6 shots in a 5" circle - 2 or 3 bull's eyes. Has to be the sights getting better. Couldn't be me.

When I first got my CM9 I could keep all of my shots inside a 3" circle at 21' and still can, rapid fire. You learn to shoot a bug the same way that you make it to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice. There are some very good You Tube videos that can help you to learn to shoot. The five basics include grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture and trigger control.

actually whenI was a kid I made it to carnegie hall every day. I was in charge of keeping the mens's pissers clean. There was no priactice practice stuff, just a bunch of mens pissers with cigarette butts in them, old used condoms, but I can tell me grand kidns I made it to carnegie hall.. Just sayin
