Any Problems with older CM9s?

[Camper Guy]

I just bought a used but like brand new CM9 that I found out was made June 2011. It appeared to never have been fired and came with 3 magazines and a holster for a great price. I've fired over 200 rounds through it since I bought it using various ammunition with only one failure to feed mid-point in a Kahr brand 7-round magazine. Have there been any updates or recalls on this older pistol I should know about? Thanks for any information this knowledgeable le group may have.

I'd say your good to go. There are no major issues that I'm aware of on any of the CW's.
My motto is if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Welcome to the forum.

Like Bawanna said, you should be good to go. I’ve never had a problem with the 6 round mags. Welcome by the way.

I have a PM9, but it's been failure free and is practically the same pistol.

When I bought the Kahr, it was and is a gun that is designed with quality for a lifetime. My guess is the gun is perfect. That said, I did buy a used one and replaced the mag release spring and recoil spring. (simple, easy task). Probably more rounds through it than yours. Personally I would purchase a additional, new Magazine. Shoot the mag after break in and make that my Carry Mag.
Congrats on your new Kahr. You are going to love it.

Thank you. The only problem I had was with the 7-round magazine. I think I will buy another 6 and call it good with the 2 6 rounders for carry and save the 7 for the range.

Thanks. I'm loving it for summer carry over my HK VP9SK.

If anything, my early cm9 seemed better quality than a later one that I handled. You are good to go.

My CM9 was built in October 2011. I bought it in June 2012. It's been error free for me with the exception of a broken mag follower. I contacted Kahr and they sent me 2. I haven't broken another so I still have a spare. I've put about 800 rounds through it.

[Camper Guy]

I put another 200 rounds through it today -- flawless!!

my EDC /BUG CM9 which I bought new in 2012, died (trigger would not reset) during a IDPA (BUG DIV.) match 7/15/23 after about 11,000 rounds down range since new ; first FTF ever, and still original recoil spring w/robust return to battery and ejection until the FTF. LGS had to send it back to kahr for a suspected trigger bar. I couldn't be happier with this little shooter !

Trigger bar! Yep, had two broken trigger bars on my PM9. Always in the back of my mind when it’s on da belt.

Are you sure it’s a crack? You don’t have enough posts to upload a pic but you can post a link to an image hosting service like Imgur.

It would very odd to have a "Crack" in the receiver of a Kahr or most any quality firearms especially with low round count. As JohnR. said, Please post a pic. We are curious.

Makes me wonder if it is a molding line/mark from where the polymer frame was molded during the manufacturing process???
