I'm new to the forum guys and new to Kahr guns in general. I looked at Kahr guns in gun shops, but for whatever reason, I never ended up buying one. I stated looking at 9mm single stack handguns and pretty soon I came across the CM9. I am what my wife refers to as the review King. I usually won't buy anything without going to google and looking for forums and reviews.


I did it a little different this go around, I bought my CM9, and looked for comments afterward. I'm glad I did it that way. I would have read the posts about trouble some have had, and let it keep me from owning what I believe is a truly GREAT handgun. I don't have many rounds through mine (115), but they have passed through flawlessly! Hopefully it will stay that way, but after reading a few posts here, I feel confident that if I have trouble, Kahr will make it right.


I wanted to let you guys and gals know I'm the newbie here, and will probably ask the occasional dumb question. That being said, I'm looking forward to putting a few more rounds through my CM9 and learning all I can about 'em!



p.s. I didn't see an introduction forum, so I decided to post my intro here.:biggrin1:

Welcome gator, your already in the fold and I think you'll like it here. Hearing a nice report from the beginning is a great start.
I specialize in the stupid easy questions myself but we got lots of smart experienced folks around here to help if needed.

Your on the mark with Kahr as well. If you need them they will take care of it.

Welcome. Read and heed the break-in advice posted here. Print out and USE the lube guidelines...CLEAN your CM9 after each use. These little Kahr autos are great carry weapons but IMHO...are NOT the best choice for a person who wants to buy a small gun to carry...pick up a box of ammo for it, fire a few rounds then load her up, and carry daily. I love mine, but I'm a "firearms enthusiast" and enjoy the little extra it takes to bet-my-life on my CM9.

Welcome to the forum gatorgear. Enjoy your new weapon. No one would buy anything if they took the internet reviews to heart.

Welcome to the show, Gatorgear..I am the same way as you. I do my homework before I buy anything. And, I was skeptical. I wanted a PM9 and just wasn't sure if I needed a problem child in my future. A few PM's to Jocko, and asked a bunch of questions on this forum, and I pulled the trigger on one. Now, I am in love with that little pistol, and it will be my EDC, as soon as I get a few more rounds through it. I have 220 trouble free rounds, so far. My skepticism is gone, and I will have another Kahr as soon as it works out. Welcome to the fold, and enjoy that new shootin' iron..Mike

Welcome, gator! You'll get used to great guys like JFootin bragging about their great looking, awesome Kahrs! As a newbie here, I've become addicted to this forum and found their help, friendship, and humor to beat anything else on the web. You're gonna love it here!

many on this fourm are BRAIN DEAD, many on this forum have been banned on other forums so we know this could be our last go around so we tend to be nice to everyone and then to top it off with a moderator like Bawanna,how can it not be a nice, fun forum and we do love our kahrs though. That is the common bond here.. No one is really a newbie here. IMO ur only alone if u stand there with a jamed kel tec!!!!!!!!
