I bought one to carry and love it. I had a glock 19 but didn't carry it as much as I wanted to due the size. The cm9 has been reliable but it is very tight. Also you have to load it by locking the slide back, inserting the fullag and dropping the slide. I've tried racking it with a full mag already in there and it has jammed the round into the ramp. I actually had it seat the bullet down about 1/8 of an inch. Other than that it's a great gun. Handles recoil very very well for its size and very accurate.
I believe that is the procedure that Kahr recommends in the owner's manual (see page 16). I generally have done this with all of my Kahrs, although I've not had any issues when I load them by pulling the slide back with a full magazine inserted. Kind of interesting...I'm not sure what the difference would be, as long as one completely retracts the slide.Also you have to load it by locking the slide back, inserting the fullag and dropping the slide.
What kinda prices are on them locally
Very true. Be aware that the CW9 is significantly larger than the CM9...possibly the ideal size if you don't want to pocket carry. No personal experience here, but I thought the CW9 looked a bit big for the pocket. Anyone else with experience pocket carrying a CW9?If you buy used, you can save the $$ from 200 rounds of break-in period, the gun falls of the grid, and you save sales tax.
Are they pretty reliable??
