Hi all,

I have been carrying a Ruger LCP for quite some time now but have had the itch to upgrade to something more powerful. My coworker brought in his PM9 and I instantly liked it due to being a 9mm and just a little bit bigger than my LCP. So I went on the hunt for a CM9 and ended up running across a CM40, which I had never heard of. The guy showed me the CM40 and the CM9 and they were almost identical in size! Needless to say, I took home the CM40.



I took it to the range today to do the 200 round break in. Admittedly, I was kind of pessimistic after reading a bunch of reviews online. Anyway, this thing ran like a sewing machine... That is until loading round 181, the mag follower broke in the exact same place as all of the reviews I read. I proceeded to finish the last 20 round despite the follower breaking and the magazine would only load 3 rounds before binding.



While I am very disappointed that the follower broke, I have nothing but good things to say about the gun itself. It ran flawlessly without a hiccup despite the abuse I put it through. I ran the first 180 rounds through it rapid firing and loading as quick as I could. I couldn't even touch the slide it was so hot. The rounds I put through it were 180 grain PMC flat nose and they ran super dirty in the Kahr, the front of the slide and the barrel were jet black. Furthermore, the gun is more accurate than I am. I am not saying I am a bad shot, but I definitely need to learn this trigger and .40S&W is a different animal from .380. My first shots were always exactly where I wanted them, I definitely need to work on my follow-ups though.

Anyway, 200 rounds later, my hand and wrist is in pain and I am very happy with my pocket cannon!
