New CM9-FLAWLESS!!

[swilcher7]

Well after ALOT of research and thought, I broke drown and purchased a CM9 recently. All I can say is FLAWLESS!! 200 rounds and not one malfunction of any kind. The only thing I did prior to firing was an initial cleaning and polishing of the feed ramp and throat. I really would have liked to purchase a PM9, but the $250 price difference swayed me to the CM9, and I'm glad it did. Also very happy to report, no broken followers!! Hopefully this will last, as this is now my primary CC weapon.

Range report:

100 rounds Winchester White Box
50 rounds American Eagle
50 rounds Federal Champion

made a cm9 blunt nose like my PMJ9, I would have bought it. to me the same gun less bells and whistles that I didn'tneed or could have done later if so desired. U bought a dandy, now just shoot the fokker like u stole it, and very nice report. U did enough prep IMO.

Hopefully someday I will snag a PM9. Don't know what it is about it, but I really want the dang thing. Also, I shot the LE course that I used to qualify with during the break in. 60 rounds, 300 possible points. Would have had a perfect score except for the 3 fliers I had firing with one hand. I find myself gripping the pistol too tight, to the point my hand and arm starts shaking. Cant complain about that though, pistol fired everything I fed it!!

DAMNIT!!!!! I spoke too soon. I just took a careful look at my magazine followers, and low and behold one has a crack in it. It's a small one and you have to look really good to see it. I pulled on the bottom of the follower and it does separate. Gonna shoot Kahr an email and hope for the best. Will try to keep you posted!!

Common problem. You've been here long enough, you know the drill. Kahr will send you one replacement follower and ask for the gun the second time it happens.

It's a new gun; let them do the work. It's their responsibility. After they've repaired enough of these, hopefully, they will ramp-up quality control and take care of this problem for good.

[swilcher7]

Yes, I do know the drill. It's not just the follower now. Upon reassembling the magazine, I noticed the floor plate wouldn't latch on and stay. Tried numerous times to get it to stay put. It will slide off under slight pressure from my hand without me having to depress the bump in the plate. I already sent an email to Kahr explaining the problem(s). Thank goodness I purchased a second mag, which at this time seems ok.

Congrats! Mine gets here tomorrow! Going to definitely check the gap between the barrel and follower.

Well here's the latest update. I spoke to Ian by phone due to my email not being answered. He advised me to send both magazines in, which I did. Hopefully they come back in working order, as I never had a magazine floor plate slide off, even with a fully loaded magazine. I was a little p.o.ed about sending both mags in on a new gun, as this left me with a weapon I couldn't carry. so I did the next best thing, I purchased another magazine!!! Should have it by Friday....You know the old saying, the third time is the charm...Let's hope so!!

[swilcher7]

Ok, here's another update. Took the gun to range today with new magazine. I also purchased the plastic floorplate kits for all 3 mags. No malfunctions of any kind and initial cleaning/inspection of follower shows no cracks/breaks!!! Hopefully original mags will hold up the same..

Range report:

50 rounds UMC 115gr
5 rounds Hornady TAP FPD 147gr
5 rounds Golden Saber 147gr
5 rounds Hornady Critical Duty 135gr
5 rounds Barnes XPD 115gr +p
5 rounds Gold Dot 124gr +p

[Bill K]

Sounding good again.

So which of those HP rounds will you be carrying?

[swilcher7]

Right now I'm carrying the Gold Dot 124 +p. I want the Federal HST in 147gr, but that stuff is NOWHERE to be found in my area..I have some of the 124gr though.

Gold dots are a good bullet choice. The cm/pm is a handly easy to hide pistol for sure. You like the cm9 wait till you get a chance to shoot the cw /p or ct/tp series. Then you will have to learn to control buying more kahrs. It can be a bad habit , at least for some of us.
