    As alluded to in another thread

    It's about time for some gun-related stuff again!

    I had a Beirkirchs gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket and I haven't bought a gun yet this month (cutting it close, eh) so I picked up a Kahr CM9 this morning. It was either the Kahr or a nice used Ruger SP101 2" in .357 but the Ruger would have required a substantial out-of-pocket contribution in addition to the gift certificate so I went with the auto.






    The CM9 is super light (15oz empty) and it's freaking tiny (for a 6+1 9mm) so it's a strong contender to replace my beloved BG380 for hot weather carry. I carry the BG380 AIWB with jeans or pocket carry with cargo shorts when conditions dictate nothing heavier clothes-wise than a teeshirt. (If it's cool enough for an over shirt I'm sporting the G26 OWB).

    Anyhoo, here's how the Kahr tacks up to it's soon to be retired little brother as well as some other daily carry pieces.

    CM9 vs BG380 (same height, slightly longer, not much thicker):










    CM9 vs Springfield XDS 9 (same width, XDS is longer, taller, only holds one additional round, and is much heavier):








    CM9 vs it's fatazz big brother G26 (same height but the Glock is twice the weight and a far bit chunkier):








    Range report forthcoming............

    Looks nice! Curious how the recoil is going to be on that. I look forward to the range report

        DAO, awesome. Long but very smooth, breaks like glass. Only downside is a long (but very audible and tactile) reset.

          Can't be any worse than the .380, I'll let you know.

              Update:

              Got to the range today. Great shooting pistol, very happy with the accuracy at 3-10 yards. DAO trigger takes some getting used to, long pull but predictable break so you can stage it, feels like @ 6#'s or so. Ran 100 rounds or so through it without a single failure using a mix of leftover commercial ball ammo as well as a couple of mags of my carry hollow points.

              I'm not particularly recoil sensitive which is why I'm a fan if sub-compacts but I gotta say this gun being lighter than my BG380 but shooting 9mm stings pretty hard if you get the least bit sloppy with your grip. Just the same, I'm confident in it's ability to go bang now so it'll be relegating the BG380 back into the safe. (Until the snow starts flying, then the BG takes up residence in the inside zippered pocket of my Carhart for the winter.)

                BTW, I picked up a holster from these guys: https://www.concealmentexpress.com/

                Awesome communication from Ben, VERY competitively priced, and had it to me within a week. Highly recommended!

                        Most likely. Last night before school starts, so may have to scoot home to help get the kiddos ready.

                              Cool, I never saw kydex like that (or at least I didn't know it was kydex, LOL). Good luck with the gun! Need to add the SIG938 to that roster
