Can someone with a CM9 and factory 7 round magazine do me a favor?

[root]

I just ordered two of the 7 round extended magazines from eBay and 1 standard 6 round one as well, all factory magazines (just cheaper than getting them direct from Kahr)...

Was wondering if someone with the CM9 and the 7 round magazine shown below can post a photo of them combined.

I only ask because I am curious if the base of the magazine is flush or if there is still that awkward 1/8" gap, or if the black plastic base of the 7 rounders 'fix' that.

Here's 2 pictures I found on the Internet.

I tried a 7 rounder in my LGS and it looked like the picture above that "DavidR" posted.

I have the cm9 and 7 rd extended mag and there is a gap. I have a gap on the standard 6 rd mag as well

If it bothers you, I have read where some fill that gap with an O-ring. Just make sure it doesn't cause any mag seating, slide lock back, etc. problems.

^^^ this. bought some O-rings at Wally-world for a buck, many different sizes to try until I found one I liked. Doesn't completely solve the problem, but its better.

Why not just paint a fine black line on the magazine just above the plastic piece? It would take away the space visually and eliminate the potential for an O-ring interference.

When I first bought my CM9, it came with a couple of 6 round mags and a 7 rounder. In the end I got rid of the 7 rounder because I just didn't like the looks ... and it didn't work so well anyway. To my mind, if you want a 7 round polymer Kahr, get a CW9, not a CM9 ... and if you need a little extra something to hold on to, then add a Pearce extension onto a 6 round magazine.

P.S. I know you didn't ask, but I'm getting close to top of the 1K posts hill and I want to get over the top.

good point rev. why people buy a small ass gun and then want to put extended magazines in them beats me. buy the cw series and be done with it. congrats on 1000 posts, U will be getting an engraved plagque from the colonel along with a box of choclates for ur better half. I can't seem to hit the 1000 mark anymore. Just sayin

Because it pinches a little? My seven round mag is my backup. By the time I empty my six round mag, I need to be a half mile down the road. 'Merica.

Just picked this up so I don't know how it feels to shoot either. Now on my Keltech P3AT there is a huge difference with a grip extension. Follow up shots are easier and gun easier to manage. Always was amazed how much difference just getting that pinky around the gun can make.

Thanks bud, that is exactly what I was looking for. I ordered 2 of the 7 rounders and a 6 rounder, all new factory mags (though got them on ebay for $33/each)... was just curious if they 'looked better'. I didn't want to wait till Thursday to find out :)

Either way, function over fashion. If it works, it works. Just looks a tad tacky, I think. I took a marker and added about 1'4" of a black line to the bottom of my current magazine. Looks a bit better.

A local Indiana company makes these magazine grip extensions:

They look pretty decent... I may have to pick one up now to toss on my 6 rounders for when I go to the range.

Note: I don't plan on carrying the 7 rounders or even the 6 round mags with extensions... they're purely for the range.

I'm happy with the extra 6 rd. magazine. Ater all, that was my main objective when choosing the CM 9.

Slim and very compact size .... :cool:

[leftysixty]

I am of the opinion that the small gap ensures that the mag will lock in. The last thing I want is for the mag to drop out when I need to be shooting:eek:

Just my 2 bits worth :D:D

A few minutes with a sander and a spare Pearce grip made me a nice compromise for a finger extension.

I think it's because the Colonel has to keep deleting the post that don't pass spell check, just sayin ... :behindsofa:

Nice!

My magazines were supposed to be here -yesterday-, but damn eBay sellers are slow. It was -shipped- yesterday. So I guess I'll have to wait till Monday or Tuesday now, and if I get the chance to go shooting this weekend will have to live with 1X 6round factory magazine. :(

Oh well, my Talon grips came in today, and on-time!

Actually my magazines DID come in today, surprisingly, was afraid I'd have to wait until Tuesday like the tracking said I would.

I'm pumped!
