Kahr cm series

[Bkjsdc09]

Does anyone have any experience with the kahr cm series? Playing with the idea of getting one for a bug. Leaning towards cm9, but if someone has something good to say about the cm40, I'm listening.

I have the CM9. I like it a lot. It's my go to gun for easy pocket carry. Maybe 300 or 400 rounds through it. It's been reliable but that's hardly a torture test.

That's mainly what I'm looking at, is for pocket carry.do you have a laser or upgraded sights on it? And what kind of accuracy can you attain with it?

No I hate lasers. Sights are good enough for what it is. I've never grouped it. It's good enough for head shots at 10 yards. Mostly practice a pocket draw and 6 shots either on one target or 3 on each of two targets at about 7 yards. Good enough for me.

Cool, as long as 7yd accuracy is decent. Would you mind posting some pics of your rig?

I find posting photos a little bit of a pain but I just use the stock cm9 with a Desantis nemisis pocket holster. I've tried the nice leather pocket holsters and don't like them as much. I've carried many different guns and find I'm really lazy and anything that isn't easy just doesn't get carried. I wish I had the patience and ability to strap on a full size gun with a flashlight like many here but i've tried all the different holsters and never find myself comfortable. I do occasionally carry my G26 in a comptac iwb appendix carry.

Yeah I typically carry my g27 in a crossbreed super tuck deluxe, but would like something I can throw in my pocket of a quick run to the store etc.

I have a CM9 carried in a Nemisis and it works great for any pocket, printing is dependent upon alot of factors. For a small gun I find it to be very accurate, I can easily shoot plates at 10 yards strong-hand. A little bigger than a LCP but feels much better than a .380.

Love the CM9 for pocket carry. Even works in gym shorts!

CM9 = 6+1
CM40 = 5+1

They also make a .380 that's a bit smaller than the 9 but holds the same amount (6+1)

 

[Bkjsdc09]

Yeah I've looked at their .380. I believe it is the cw380. I'm just not really sold on the .380. I realize it's better than nothing, but for the same size gun, I can have a ballistically superior round.

I have the cm9. carries well, but have not felt comfortable enough with the trigger to carry it. Probably, 350-400 rounds so far without an issue. Prefer Glock and HK for carry... That said, its a great gun and some people love the trigger.

Shot my friend's kahr cw9 a couple of weekends ago.... The trigger is impressive, very, and I mean very, smooth, with a nice clean break. I'm hoping Kahr will one day start producing larger capacity handguns.

Well I'm sure many agree with you on them producing larger capacity guns, but I doubt they will ever. Glock has that niche pretty well covered and then you have the other big name companies that have their high cap polymer frames. I think kahr realizes their niche is in slim, single stacks and they can't compete with some of the bigger names. All this talk has me itching to shoot one though.

You are most likely correct sir. Sig, Springfield, Taurus, Glock, S&W, FNH, CZ, and on, and on... Every one of these gun makers offers a higher capacity gun. On the other hand, what does Kahr have to lose? It's not like the niche of single stacks is not crowded already.

On the trigger though... It's long. But you don't notice it due to its... Did I mention it being smooth?

That does seem to be the consensus on the trigger from everything I've read. Only time will tell.

I'm itching to buy one, but this break-in period of 200 rounds concerns me a bit. It's not like its a lot of rounds to begin with... But... My friend's cw9 FTFed on me in a rather nasty way. Would not release the mag and the slide was locked pretty much in the open position and would not budge either way.

Hmmm... That's no good. How many rounds did he have through it when it happened?

Not a clue. I should've asked...

That's really the only thing that has me slightly hesitant, is a break in. No so much as ammo cost on top of cost of the gun but the fact that it requires a break in. Then again it may just be a cya thing in case they have one that has some initial issues to save their reputation so to speak.
