Love my cm9 sometimes I forget I'm carrying it! Small light and accurate! Never had a glitch! I use a vedder light tuck 4oclock sometimes just put in my front pocket, very versatile. I live in a very warm climate,light clothing.this gun is very easy to conceal
I love glock, and own a 26 plus others in the past, but I normally have been carrying a pm9 for over a decade, and never had a failure when shooting. Plus it's just more concealable for me.
ive had a pm9 for years , just picked up a cm9 , magazine/ammo/holster/manual of arms compatability , excellent quality/performance , great video keep up the good work ;-)
Funny i told a gun shop owner the same thing the other day, "that trigger irratates my finger" and he replied that i was the only guy he's heard that from. Triggers are important and the KAHR somehow accomplishes that.
Hey Pal, I know this is a late comment to an old video, but first off, sorry to hear about your difficulty that caused you to have to sell your guns. I trust that that time has passed. Next, way back in 2004, I purchased a Kahr P9 Covert, a model they only made for about two years. It featured the short grip frame of the PM9, and the slide of the full-size P9. I found this to be a great combination, because I could pocket carry it with the flush fit 6 round magazine, or pop in an extended 7 rounder and have a full sized grip for holster carry. I found the gun to be extremely accurate, and as an old-time revolver competitor, loved the Kahr trigger. So, I carried my Glock 19 on-duty, backed up by a Glock 26 on my anke, and my Kahr off-duty. I was happy. Fast forward to 2015-16 when the Glock 43 came out. At that time I owned a shooting school, so I bought one because so many students asked about it. I tested it relentlessly, and found no real flaws in it for what it was intended to be. I did find it too light and snappy for my new students, but too be fair, so was my little Kahr. There was nothing wrong with the Glock 43, I just found that if offered no real advantages over the Kahr, which I had already amassed quite a few magazines and holsters for. So, for personal carry, I just stayed with what I had. Also, I had also purchased a Shield, and found that new people did much better with it than either the slightly smaller Glock or the Kahr. To this day, I just never found anything that worked materially better for me, enough so that I wanted to switch. I stuck with my larger Glocks for duty use, and the Kahr for anything else. But when I was still working as a police officer, I qualified twice a year using the Kahr as well, on the duty gun course out to 25 yards, and never shot below Expert with it. It was a bit harder to do that with than with my duty Glock, but it was useful to me to know that I could. Having researched thousands of shootings by civilians, I don't much care about the increased capacity of the newer micro-9's, as long as I carry a spare magazine for the Kahr. Now that I am retired, that same Kahr P9 I bought in 2004 still rides on my hip in 2022. To this day, I have never had a malfunction with it of any kind, but I only feed it top quality ammunition. It goes everywhere with me. I have nothing against the other choices, and even own quite a few of them for students to shoot in the classes I still sometimes teach, but for my own use, I am a firm believer that "if it ain't broke, don'f fix it." Cheers!
I think you made a good choice. I like it because I can carry it all day even with an eight round mag in it and never notice it's there. I also dry fire with it over my other stuff because that trigger pull forces you to concentrate more on the basics and not be sloppy about it.
Good for you! Wish you well in the future............ Good, effective gun. I had to use a Hi-Power for years - great gun except the trigger nagged at me the whole time - made me end up hating the whole gun.
I got rid of my 43 because of the trigger pinch and the sore middle finger under the trigger guard. I was tired of glock perfection that wasn't there. Everybody said get the new glock. Bull I can't keep buying new glock every time they come out. Make it right the first time. Glock has been workin us
Tell you a neat little upgrade for the CM or CW pistols. Buy the PM9 black slide release lever and install it on your CM9. The PM lever is hardened steel machined I believe. The C series is metal injection molding. Nothing wrong really with MIM but the machined lever looks great and is tougher by nature. And the black lever really adds to the looks of this model.
I’ve been happy with my CM9, although I had been thinking about replacing it with a P365 for capacity. I found out MAG GUTS sells new internals for the six and seven round mags that gives you one extra round. $45 for two mags sounds a lot better than $600 for a new pistol in this market.
Yeah cm9 is a good carry pistol.. accurate and easy sight picture. Smallest compact 9mm that I know of. I have recommended it to many. I grab this more than other pistols because it pretty much disappears with iwb carry.
I'm a huge fan of the Kahr pistols too! With the ergonomics vs the Glock I much prefer the Kahr for CCW any day of the week. Just my .02. No disrespect to the Glock. I'm not saying the Glock is no good, it is just not as comfortable for me to carry as the Kahr. I personally love the trigger on the Kahr for CCW. Not as much of a chance of having a accidental discharge with it. I have a PM9 right now. I'm getting a CW 9 soon.
Ive been carrying a cm9 since they came out in a Galco pocket protector. I have a lot of round down range and never had a hiccup. When i carry a g19 or p229 on my hip this gun still rides in my pocket as a bug. Im interested in the new p365 for comparison for its capacity but the cm9 is a keeper regardless. I also own 2 cw9s that dont see daylight outside the safe often. One i bought and got one later a a gift. Of the 3, none have ever had failures but the cw's done have many rounds to judge. Cm9 id estimate over 1000.
Not only did you save money on the Kahr but now you don't have to replace the goal post sights on the Glock. Been hearing a lot of good things about Kahr. I gotta rent one and see for myself what everyone is bragging about.
Agree. I never liked Glock factory sights. Not sure why more people don’t object to those goalpost sights the U and dot just don’t work for me. I like the dot the I approach Kahr took with the CM9
I liked my cm9. Fit and finish was very nice. That being said, I prefer the glock trigger better and the customer service. I had a poor experience with Kahrs customer service with my cm40. I sent that bad boy back 3 times and it still never ran right. Plus more aftermarket support for the glocks.
Living in CA, I couldn't get a 43/43x without paying ridiculous markup from someone that already has one since it's not on our stupid roster. Went from everyday carrying a CZ 75 PCR to a Kahr CW9 and have not looked back at all! I like Glocks, but like my Kahr more. I call it a "CA Legal 43" :)
How's it performed so far? Any changes to your opinion? I'm looking for s single stack with traditional grip angle. I'm actually leaning toward the Walther PPS M2 though. These Kahrs just seem to have too many problems and they're around the same MSRP. Haven't gone out to fondle, er, I mean, handle them yet ... Like I need another handgun ... Oh well ...
I did the same. The kahr seems to feel better in my hands compared to g43. I had holster tlr6, grips , +2 mags on g43 and just didn’t like it. I have the kahr and to me it’s far better
Just bought one too. Beautiful trigger pull! DA only trigger. Double springs for the guide rod- makes it easy to shoot single handed -no shit! Shoots 147gr better than 115gr-bullet might be longer, better spin. On the clip release light grease (synco super lube) inside the grip by the release pin. Also clean any new clip with bore clean first.
Frank Parker never heard anyone say anything about the glock trigger before.. but i like the trigger.. i dont think its terrible.. i do like the ruger ec9s trigger better. And the walther pps m2 trigger better.. and the s&w m&p 2.0 trigger better and the xd mod 2 trigger better lmao..
The Kahr trigger, though long and a full reset, is much smoother and feels much lighter than the Glock. my CW9 is my jogging carry gun. light, thin, and very reliable! Kahr suggests a 200 round break-in period. But I won't carry any gun until I've put 1000 rounds through it. I consider that my familiarization period. now if I could find a cm9 for a cheap enough price maybe my wife would let me buy it! 🤣
Raging Realist dont know why a gun manufacturer says it needs to be shot so many rounds to be broken in?? Hmm! Thats like saying the gun isnt reliable until after you shoot it 200x .. but will it be broken in after 200 rounds or just broken when you really need it to function
I did have my butterflies in the stomach at first with my CW9. I never owned a gun that needed to be broken in until Kahr and boy was my CW9 a jamomatic!! First 50 rounds had several fails to feed with just standard ball. Around the 100 round mark had several fails to feed again and was loosing confidence. After about 250 to 300 rounds and me raking it and dry firing it at home after my disapointing break in range day. The next time I went out which had several hundred racks of the slide thereafter. I have not had any issues with my CW9. Even me racking the slide without sling shoting its still feeds the rounds. I am happy and want the 40 and 45 to plink around with.
I think this is a bit of an urban legend that keyboard commandos like to spread around. It is always a good idea to practice with a carry piece. A break in period is so the shooter becomes familiar with the gun . Kahr is not sending out guns from the factory that are unreliable, this make no business sense
@@jeffhreid Kahr pistols are notorious for being extremely still from the factory. Yes the "break-in period" is mostly for people to become familiar with their firearms. But with Kahr pistols you can expect about half a dozen failures (to extract or feed) in the first half of the 300 round break-in period. It's not that the pistol is "unreliable", it's that the recoil springs used by Kahr are extremely stiff. Big name companies like Glock have a machine that fires 200-400 rounds through the guns before being sent to a distributor or they use lighter weight springs. Kahr doesn't have that. And they make it in a way that is supposed to give it as much longevity as possible without having to replace parts for anything other than user error.
Nice video. The Kahr CM9/PM9 are true pocket 9mm. I am sure that the Shield, P939, P290RS, Glock43 etc. are nice pistols but they larger and heavier. I have always been able to pocket carry the CM9 if I can't IWB my SigP250C.
The Glock 43 comes with 2 mags. And yes, the Kahr with 1. But the glock is $200+ bucks more. Kahr Mags run around $30/35 new to under $20 used. Simple math eh?
CM9 has been my EDC for 3 years. I have over 3200 rounds through, with the following experience. At 170 rounds, had a fail to feed. 675 a fail to feed. Around 1300 the end of the recoil spring came off at a range session. Kahr sent a new recoil spring, they had improved the bevel on the end. 1900 rounds since, not a single malfunction. The only way this could be more reliable would be if it were a revolver. Yes, when new it is very tight to disassemble. I would use a chopstick to hold the breech back to line up and push the pin through. Now it is very easy. Don't try and run the slide on this gun. Kahr says to load from open breech locked back. It's a conceal gun, if you don't want to run with one in the chamber this is not your gun. The only time I have ever had to rack it was on a malfunction, which very rarely, if ever happens. The trigger pull reminds me of my Smith & Wesson Model 19 in double action. Sweet. Easily concealed 19 oz loaded. Deadly from 10 yds in rapid fire, less recoil than a Taurus TCP .380 I owned.
I went the opposite direction...Traded my CM9 in on a Glock 43x. CM9 was a good firearm. More mag capacity and the simplicity of a Glock is amazing. Still have a CW380 Kahr.
I had a taurus pt111 g2 and had zero problems with it. I wanted a pocket 9mm so I sold my taurus to a friend and picked up a cm9. I'm regretting that decision. The kahr is giving me nothing but problems...failures to feed, mag release hard to depress, 8 round mag doesn't eject. I'm sending it back to Kahr and see what happens. The kahr also tore my hand up even with talon rubberized grip tape. The gun is a pain in the ass to disassemble and reassemble. If kahr can't resolve the issues I'm going to trade it in for a shield. I have a smith and wesson bodyguard which has never failed me. Maybe I got a lemon but I'm awfully pissed off right now.
I had a Kahr CW380 that worked @5% of the time. I sent it in, got it back working and sold it. The PT111 G2 is in my EDC rotation. Just change the recoil spring to stainless.
Kahr expects you to clean the gun before breaking it in. They package new guns with anti-rust compounds which will seize up the action if not removed first. SURPRISE. That is why all the initial failures are happening. If you do the 200 round break-in required for a tightly machined pistol, you will get through this . . . My PM9 locked up at 100 rounds and I just took it home and cleaned it . . . there was some nasty reddish stuff blowing out of it . . . the rust inhibitors in original packing. This has given Kahr a bad rep in the biz . . . but that's all it is. It is a hard gun to handle, being so light weight . . . takes a firm hand . . . and I've shot both the PM9 and the K9. The polymers are going to kick.
GPS ON TIME I took apart my cw380 to clean it the day I got it new and Im glad I did. It was swimming in oil and there were little bits of plastic and metal in various places, esp in the tracks on the slide. Id rather they ship it that way than charge me 30 dollars more to clean it up so Im not complaining.
srg914 they take some time to break in, and every one I’ve ever owned HATED Fiocchi ammo. They are also unreliable with an extended mag (in my experience). All that said, if u get the bugs out there’s nothing close in terms of concealability in 9mm
They are largely the same gun. Main differences are the rifling in the barrel, machining on the slide , machines slide stop vs MIM, and extra magazines
Love my cm9 sometimes I forget I'm carrying it! Small light and accurate! Never had a glitch! I use a vedder light tuck 4oclock sometimes just put in my front pocket, very versatile. I live in a very warm climate,light clothing.this gun is very easy to conceal
Wise choice brother. Been carrying a pm9 for years.
rvisme1911 love my pm9 with big dot sights wouldn't trade it for anything
i agree! i had many single stack glocks and have now been carry the cm9 for about 3 years now.
I love glock, and own a 26 plus others in the past, but I normally have been carrying a pm9 for over a decade, and never had a failure when shooting. Plus it's just more concealable for me.

Good video. I got my CM9 about a year ago. It is my go to ccw 9 times out of 10. The trigger is just so smooth.
Funny i told a gun shop owner the same thing the other day, "that trigger irratates my finger" and he replied that i was the only guy he's heard that from. Triggers are important and the KAHR somehow accomplishes that.
Agree. I always told customers that the Kahr DAO trigger is akin to a revolver DA trigger. Once you get familiar with it it is easy to love

this was awesome to read, thank you for sharing your personal insight and knowledge!
Had my cm9 for nearly 5 years now and still love it
Im a die hard Glock fan boy but chose the CM9 over the 43 as well. I dont like the 43 at all
I also have a cw9 and a glock 43 I trust them both but I really love the trigger on the cw9
Nice choice
Good choice. I own both, but prefer the Kahr.
Congrats Dig Dog! HNY!

P365 is a hard one to beat, I currently carry the p365 sas and I love it... ofcourse its $200-$300 higher than cm9 currently in this market.
Yeah cm9 is a good carry pistol.. accurate and easy sight picture. Smallest compact 9mm that I know of. I have recommended it to many. I grab this more than other pistols because it pretty much disappears with iwb carry.

هذا المسدس أفضل من الجلوك وأفضل من السيج ساور ولكن للأسف لايوجد له دعاية
If you pause at 1:48 what is the washer under the barrel called that keeps coming loose just bought this gun
I got the cw380 too so if I have to wear slacks or dress clothes with smaller pockets I can still pocket carry. Why choose? Buy both.
Personally prefer the CW9 for the extra round and slightly larger grip for more shooting comfort. CM9 is a great gun though.
How's it performed so far? Any changes to your opinion? I'm looking for s single stack with traditional grip angle. I'm actually leaning toward the Walther PPS M2 though. These Kahrs just seem to have too many problems and they're around the same MSRP. Haven't gone out to fondle, er, I mean, handle them yet ... Like I need another handgun ... Oh well ...
I did the same. The kahr seems to feel better in my hands compared to g43. I had holster tlr6, grips , +2 mags on g43 and just didn’t like it. I have the kahr and to me it’s far better
Beside the broken followe issue, kahr is better.. I had to mod my feed ramp
Just bought one too. Beautiful trigger pull! DA only trigger. Double springs for the guide rod- makes it easy to shoot single handed -no shit! Shoots 147gr better than 115gr-bullet might be longer, better spin.
On the clip release light grease (synco super lube) inside the grip by the release pin. Also clean any new clip with bore clean first.
Was there a huge difference between carrying the kahr and pt111
“During our hardship or whatever”.
Yeah i lost everything in 2016, will be making a video about it soon. Thanks for watching
@@bigglockdaddy8124 glad you bounced back
I have to agree about the Glock trigger. I only owned one for a brief time, but I hated the trigger.
Frank Parker never heard anyone say anything about the glock trigger before.. but i like the trigger.. i dont think its terrible.. i do like the ruger ec9s trigger better. And the walther pps m2 trigger better.. and the s&w m&p 2.0 trigger better and the xd mod 2 trigger better lmao..

Does the glock 43 come with 2 mags? The Kahr comes with one I think
The Glock 43 comes with 2 mags. And yes, the Kahr with 1. But the glock is $200+ bucks more. Kahr Mags run around $30/35 new to under $20 used. Simple math eh?
good video: I would have added: 1 Metal Trigger 2 non-safety feature in trigger. I agree .. the glock trigger sucks
the kahr break I. period makes glock way more reliable right out of the box the only thing kahr had going for them is the color nothing else
CM9 has been my EDC for 3 years. I have over 3200 rounds through, with the following experience. At 170 rounds, had a fail to feed. 675 a fail to feed. Around 1300 the end of the recoil spring came off at a range session. Kahr sent a new recoil spring, they had improved the bevel on the end. 1900 rounds since, not a single malfunction.

That’s a lot of practice ammo! Hope you reload or have a good source, big buck and short supply. Liked your comment Cheers
What! No Glock!

That is why all the initial failures are happening. If you do the 200 round break-in required for a tightly machined pistol, you will get through this . . . My PM9 locked up at 100 rounds and I just took it home and cleaned it . . . there was some nasty reddish stuff blowing out of it . . . the rust inhibitors in original packing. This has given Kahr a bad rep in the biz . . . but that's all it is. It is a hard gun to handle, being so light weight . . . takes a firm hand . . . and I've shot both the PM9 and the K9. The polymers are going to kick.
GPS ON TIME I took apart my cw380 to clean it the day I got it new and Im glad I did. It was swimming in oil and there were little bits of plastic and metal in various places, esp in the tracks on the slide. Id rather they ship it that way than charge me 30 dollars more to clean it up so Im not complaining.
srg914 they take some time to break in, and every one I’ve ever owned HATED Fiocchi ammo. They are also unreliable with an extended mag (in my experience). All that said, if u get the bugs out there’s nothing close in terms of concealability in 9mm
Glock is way overrated. Kahr is american made and a great carry gun for the price. They just come out with a double stack and will be available June.
CM9? Looks like a PM 9 which one is it?
Alejandro A Suarez Cabrera Watch the video again. It says CM9 right on the slide. Im pretty sure his wallet would know the difference.
They are largely the same gun. Main differences are the rifling in the barrel, machining on the slide , machines slide stop vs MIM, and extra magazines
I will never carry another Taurus semi auto. Garbage guns.
God damn man hold the camera still
