While I’m new to “posting” on this forum, I’m certainly not new to all the amazing advice, input and discussions! I started doing some research into what weapon I wanted for concealed carry back in March. I finally had it narrowed down to the Kel-tec P-11 or the PM9/CM9. It was this community that helped me make the great decision to buy my first (and second) Kahr! I ordered my new PM9 from GT Distributors and was told it might be a few months before they got it in (price was too good to pass up!). In the meantime, I came across a CM9 that was in stock at another shop and, again, at a great price…so I ordered it (figuring I’d have time to try it out and cancel my previous PM9 order). Two days later, my FFL calls and says he’s got my gun…the PM9!...two more days later and he’s got my other gun…the CM9! When it rains it pours!
Put my new PM9 through the Jocko Prep School (500 slide racks and all) and lubed it according to the excellent Kahr Lube Diagram, did Greg’s magazine follower modification to ensure that the follower didn’t contact the magazine latch and went off to the range…100+ trouble-free rounds so far with some 2” groups at 7 yds. I’ll be heading to the range again today.
Being very impressed / inspired by BEARDOG’s holster-making skills, I made my own pocket holster and, once I get through the rest of the 200 FMJ break-in rounds and test some SD rounds, I’ll be ready to carry my new PM9! As for the CM9, I haven’t decided what to do with that…either my wife or my son will probably be the honored recipient! By the way, I can attest to the fact that they are, indeed, identical in size, shape, etc. with only the minor, known differences!
In any event, I wanted to let you know that I’ve been very impressed with this “community”…clearly there are a lot of quality members with loads of great experience and knowledge. I’m glad to be a member and proud to be a Kahr owner. Hopefully I’ll be able to contribute for the good of the cause!
