Hello, well I was able to get out and do some shooting for the first time with my CM9. I have been racking the slide and dry firing it and leaving the slide locked back for 5 days. Well on the first mag using 115grain fmj ammo, I got 4 FTE. The slide did not even try to move back to get a new round. I switched to some 124 grain fmj that I had and it shot fine. Ran about 100 rounds of the 124 then started mixing the mags with 115 and 124. It shot everything without any trouble. When I got home to clean it I did notice a fairly good size rub mark down the right side of the barrel. Not sure if that could be normal or not? It did shoot about 4in high at 25ft but was centered good. I know Kahr saids 200 break-in rounds but it seems to be running fine after the first 4 FTE. Has anyone else noticed a mark on the barrel where the slide is rubbing?
Thanks!
Don

Thanks for the reply. After shooting the 124 grain it now feeds anything. I have tried to get it to stop by mixing weights and types in a mag and just keeps eating them up. Did find the 124 seems to shoot more point of aim.
