My name is Rock. I am a former soldier, sailor, and police officer. I picked up a new Kahr CM9 today. I traded a domain name last week for a Glock 23 Gen 4. Today I traded the Glock for the Kahr. I didn't like the RTF (Rought Texture Finish) on the Glock at all, but my primary reason was concealed carry. I wear an untucked T-shirt and cargo shorts twelve months out of the year. Unless I want to wear a bellyband or ThunderWear holster, I had very limited carry options. I believe very strongly in the adage, "Better a mousegun in your pocket than a .45 in your dresser." I've been EDCing a Taurus M85 (SS .38 special) for a few years and the Kahr gives me two more rounds, a quicker reload, and a flatter profile in an inside the pocket holster.

Any suggestions on places to buy Kahr magazines cheap would be appreciated. TombstoneTactical.com (http://TombstoneTactical.com) had the best price I could find after figuring in shipping.

I currently am self employed as a graphic artist, web site designer, and caricaturist. I do a lot of work for custom knife makers including logos, makers marks, banners, T-shirts, and business cards. www.Kowulz.com (http://kowulz.com).

I also run an emergency preparedness forum Preparation M Forum (http://preparationmforum.com). It spun off of a Mensa Special Interest Group.

Thanks for having me here!

Hi Rock,

Welcome to KahrTalk! Best of luck with your new CM9. Have the PM9 myself which has largely replaced my P3AT for pocket carry. I'm in 100% agreement with your adage.

Be safe,
Bill K.

Ps. Former Marine 1962-1966

welcome from a fellow Soldier, thank you for your many areas of service. you will love the cm9, i bought one about a month ago and it also seems to have replaced my gen4 glock 19 (for the time being at least). it is a great little gun, fun to shoot, and easily concealable.

make sure you take advantage of kahr's ongoing free magazine give away promotion, all you have to do is fill out the coupon on their website and email it to them along with your sales receipt.

tombstone tactical has a good price and they are currently in stock, i think cheaper than dirt is also relatively good when they have them in stock (but be aware they usually charge a "processing fee" in checkout). i recently purchased 2 magazines from ivanhoe warehouse (http://www.ivanhoeoutlet.com/shop/index.php?action=item&id=75&prevaction=category&previd=13&prevstart=0)for $27.50 each and $5 combined shipping, but they are currently out of stock so if the $2.50 price difference means a lot to you just keep checking back.
