Changing Micro/Pocket Guns

[doc540]

Both MrsDoc and I carry Ruger LC9's with CT lasers, but we're going to try a couple of different Kahr's.

I ordered a new CM9 and a CW9 from Bud's tonight.

We'll see how those work for us.

Due to the position of the mag releases, we're both dropping mag's mid-string.

And you know what they say, "The loudest sound in the world is 'CLICK' during a gunfight".

Here's a great size/feature chart from mouseguns.com

I had a PM40 for a while a year or so ago, and it shot very well. It was just a little too thick for my SmartCarry system.

We'll see how the CM9 carries.

MrsDoc gets the CW9.

I think you will like both very much.
I have owned a PM9 with nite sights now for a about 1.5 years and have never had an issue with it except while using the extra supplied 7 round magazine that now just sits on a book shelf.
Use the standard 6 round magazines and they will run great.
Have fired many brands of fmj as well as jhp and have never once had a FTF or FTE.

Suggestion...These are really tightly built guns and I strongly suggest you clean and lube it before use and rack the slide a couple of hundred times before use.
Great pistols.

Thanks for the advice.

I'll break them in right.

What he said, although I never had any issues with my 7 round mag with my PM9. My wife's CW9 has been dead reliable from the first round fired. I've never handled one of the .40 cal Kahrs, but I do have a CW45, and it is noticeably wider than the 9mm guns. Also, I don't own a Smart Carry, but I can tell you that the PM9 simply vanishes, whether I'm carrying it in a front pocket or in a Mitch Rosen OWB belt slide.

The CM9 comes with only one 6-round mag. Instead of buying an additional 7-round mag, which I have heard to be unreliable, I bought an 8-rounder. Some have reported trouble with their spare mags dropping rounds in their pockets if they don;t carry the mag in a pouch. I haven't had that issue myself. My first 220 round break in session was uneventful. After about 125 rounds, the trigger began to fail to reset all the way. A quick cleaning fixed that issue and the rest of the session was flawless. I've owned a K40 since 1996, and that gun has been extremely reliable. So far, I see nothing to indicate that my CM9 is of any lesser quality.

Thanks for the reports.

Mailed payment for them today.

You won't have the mag dropping free problem like you are having with the LC9s. I have a pair of CM9s and neither the 6 or 7 round mags drop free and I like that. I pocket carry mine and I've had the mag releases get accidently pushed with all others autos I have tried except for these CM9s. They are good reliable guns and I haven't had a problem with the 7rd mags either.

That's good to hear. Thanks
