Kahr

[Tobias]

Anyone own a P9 or a PM9 and how do you like it? Thinkin bout tryin one out.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

rent one and try it out.
my LGS rents them for $7 an hour.
worth $7 (+ ammo) to see if you like it or not before buying...

 

[Tobias]

I'm just tossing the idea around. I really like the Sig 938's too. I find myself carrying an LCP all the time because it's so convenient to conceal but would rather carry a small 9mm.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

much love for the Kahr's around here. I've never heard anyone talk bad about their Kahr.
of course, if it were up to me...if choosing between a PM9 or Sig 938...it would be 938 all day.
but I would also prefer 9mm to .380
you may find an awesome INGO'er (there are plenty) near you who has one or the other...or both
and will let you try them out.

Yup. Many guns for many tastes. I tried out the Kahrs. It didn't taste good for me.

What is the primary use?

 

[Tobias]

Just wanting another small carry gun. I carry a G23 a lot during the winter but want something smaller coming into spring (if it ever gets here). I carry an LCP a lot just because of the size and weight. Wanting something in between the two.

I have a CM 9 the cheaper version of the PM 9. Really like the gun small enough to fit in a pocket holster or IWB. Little recoil and fun to shoot

 

[gregkl]

Well, the Kahrs are nice and small. I think you could conceal one pretty easy if you wanted to. Thin, lightweight. Like Tyler said, try to shoot one first to see how you like it.

Have you looked at the XDS and Shield's?

 

[TLHelmer]

I have a CM9 and love it. 100% reliable so far.

Got the PM40 with laser and night sights, no problems good gun.

Here's a link I found for when I was contemplating the decision. Ended up spending the money elsewhere.

the 27 is so comfortable and easy to carry. come springtime, IWB in shorts and under a tshirt and it's easily concealable. it's an obviously great companion piece to your 23 as well. mag and holster compatability...grip, trigger familiarity etc...

I have owned some 7 Kahr pistols over the past decade or so. I've got a P9 that I've had since they first came out, and I like it quite a bit. I recently picked up a PM9, and it is the only Kahr I've owned that has actually required the recommended break-in period and then some. I have about 400 rounds through it, and it is only now starting to become reliable. YMMV. I also own or have owned a K9, K9 Elite, MK9, K40 and P380.

 

[Twangbanger]

Good gun. I looked long and hard before getting a CM9 for deep concealment and the longer I own it, the more I love it & am convinced I made the right choice. The sights are great and I think the trigger is the best thing going in this class of gun. Minimal controls, simple, and mine has been 100% reliable. I really wish they made a high-cap fullsize pistol of the same design. These guns are well thought out and well designed for their purpose. My only mistake was not getting one sooner.

I agree with this train of thought......I tend to lean to a gun your familiar with in a situation where you may need it.

I never realized there was a recommended break-in period for kahr pistols.

 

[addictedhealer]

Carry kahr cw9 everyday all day. We'll over thousand rounds not a issue yet. Love the gun. Light, thin and shoots like a champ.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

I have been very happy with my PM9. One of the better handguns I have owned.

Shot two Kahr pistols in their "200 round break in period" that is recommended and neither one is yet to have a failure well out beyond those first 200 rounds. I hear negatives about them from time to time, but I am a fan… Go with the cheaper versions though IMO you aren't losing out on anything but saving some money and you can just buy some more mags and whatever else you want with them money saved. The CM9 as many here have stated is a fantastic little pistol that would suit you well in place of the PM9 which is just a more expensive version.
