Happy Earth Day! Broke in new CM9 today.

[Chief Joseph]

I celebrated earth day today by driving my SUV to the forest and shooting some lead into some trees.
Shot 1 box of Remington UMC
1 box WWB
1 box Blazer
2 boxes Blazer Brass
6 rounds Winchester Ranger

Used the 6 round CM9 mag, 8 round mag I bought with the CM9, 7 round PM9 mag, and 7 round CW9 mag.

Had 3 fail to feed, 2 on the 8 round mag, 1 on the PM9 7 round mag and 4 times the slide failed to lock back on empty mag. Didn't keep track of which mags it happened on. The 6 round CM mag worked flawlessly, was able to slingshot the first round every time without a hiccup. The 8 round mag would not slingshot, the 7 round pm9 mag only half the time. The 7 round CW9 mag worked as well as the CM9 6 round mag.

This was my results at approx. 20 feet.

This was my results at approx. 30 feet. I first aimed at the middle, then the lower right corner.

And this one at approx 60-65 feet. I didn't take as much time aiming as I should have. I shot 28 rounds total at this one.

Now, I fully have 3 carry guns. All in all, felt just like shooting my pm9. Very happy with it.

Shooting lead into trees. Can't think of a better way to celebrate Earth Day. :hippie:

Chief,

Thanks for the break-in range report. So it reads as if you're good to go ifin you stick to the 6 round magazine, correct?

Take care,
Bill K.

Ps. I've got to learn how to do that finger nail slide show that you see folks posting.

That last target looks alot like Jocko's at 3 yards, cept for them ones in the black middle. That would be unusual. Just sayin.


Dumpster Muffin??:confused: And we wonder why we're where we are today.

Ya, for me the 6 round mag is the most important mag, I pocket 90 percent of the time and the 6 round mag makes it happen, and since the cw9 7 round mag is what I carry as extra, and it performed also, I'm good to go.

Traded in my PM9 today and got a Glock 27, took my CM9, the Glock and a buddy up shooting. Only put another 50 rounds through the CM9, but they were flawless, only used the 6 round mag. Even my friend noticed the CM9 did not have the feeding issues I had with the PM9. The only issue was again, on the very last round fired the slide failed to lock back.

[jocko]

was this every magazine thatit didn't lock back or maybe once or twice??

No, just the very last 50th round. Of all rounds to do it.

[jocko]

ok thats good, if it was constant then it would be different. more rounds out of the gun and u and the gun mating up will eliminate alot of little quirks. Nice report
