After much research and a lot of INGO input I put in a bid and won a new CM9 for $395 on gunbroker. I should be able to pick it up by the end of next week and shoot it against my other little pistols for comparison. I plan to shoot my LCP, P238 and CM9 and share results as far as recoil, accuracy and reliability. I know the first 2 are .380s and the latter a 9mm, but it might help someone decide which way to go.
