Thinking of selling my PM9

[97harley]

I have a PM9, just about 18 months old and about 600 rounds through it. I have the original box, 6 and 7 round mags and have added a crimson trace laser. I love the gun but since buying a P380 about 8 months ago find myself never carrying it anymore and I was thinking about replacing it with a PM45. If I do decide I have a day with the right clothing to carry a larger gun I figure for a few more ounces then the 9 I'd like the 45. Around here there asking about 600 with no laser. What are they going for in your area? I"m not advertising a gun, just want a little advise on prices if any of you have picked up a gently used PM9.

I have seen used PM9 in local gun shops priced at $500-$550. The high end of the range if it has night sights.

It dosen't have night sites but with the CTL I figure it makes up for it. I have to do some checking in my LGS's. I was thinking I might be able to get into a CM45 for about an even trade or put about 300 into getting a PM45.

Personally, I would rather have night sights, than the laser. They're going for about 500-550 locally, with night sights, lots of people really don't want the laser.

My P380 has night sites and I have to agree. I actually put night sites on my Glock G21. It's primarily a night stand gun and I have a rail light but it's nice just seeing it with the glowing sites sitting there. It's much more visible when it's dark. :biggrin1:

[AFDoc]

I'm with CJB...keep it.

[b4uqzme]

no-o-o-o-o-o!
Don't do it!!!!!!!!

My advice is to keep both AND pick up the PM45 if you can.

I find that each has it's place and time when it is the better choice. I also go through "phases" where I'll prefer to carry one more than another. Being that it's winter right now, I seem to mostly be carrying the PM45. In summer, I'll usually favor the K9. Sometimes I need to pocket carry (like at the Dr.'s office) and that's usually the PM9. And sometimes there's a situation where the P380 is the only gun I can conceal.

So there you have it. Keep what ya got, and go get some more. ;)

I have to agree about keeping the pm9 and buying pm45. There are a few that I have sold or traded and kicked myself afterward. As far as the night sites vs laser I have to side with the night sights. I just put a full set of trijicon night sites on my cw9 and love them. It also really makes it hard to find holsters with a laser.

[Alfonse]

I agree you'll miss it, don't sell it. I would actually pick up another, probably prefer a CW since I already have a PM9. I would really like to get one that somebody is angry with and just can't trust because it broke a feed ramp or something. Discounted of course ;)

I can be cheap like that.

[97harley]

LOL, I have to show your posts to my wife because she always asks me "do you ever get rid of a gun or just bring home another one" I always respond about her fetish with lamps, I think we single handed keep the electric company in business and I get "yeah, but lamps are cheap" :001_tt2:

[Megawatt]

I just picked up a PM9 with night sights still looks brand new for $460 private sale. Actually gun, case 2 mags, James dean holster, 100 rounds for $560.

Maybe keep it for a year and then decide? I don't think it will loose much value over the course of one year should you then decide to get rid of the nine.

[gncc600]

Never sell a Kahr...keep them and they will mate and make more.

So I guess there like Gremlins, never feed them at night and never, I repeat never get them wet. Thinking back, I'm getting OLD, that movie was from like 30 yrs ago:confused:

keep-um--as for the laser, when things go bump in the night and one may not have time to put your glasses on and much easier to see a red dot than a blurr of night sights. jmho

[walkbyfaith]

That grip length on that cw9 looks the same size as the cm9. Is it shortened?

[Tiggereast]

Harley, if you sell, call me! :)

I've got no problem seeing without glass's, now reading, that's another story. I keep a Glock 21 on my nightstand with nite sites and a streamlight TLR1 so I can locate it easy with the night sites and find who I"m looking for with the rail light :D

My wife says guns are not for trading. They are for keeping.
Good woman.

[MBSL500]

And all this time I that thought that guns were for keeping and wives were for trading.
