10 years or so ago, I bought a CM9. I wanted the PM9, but decided to save some money. Now, I'm thinking about getting the PM9 that I always wanted. But, is it *really* worth it, especially if I already have the CM9? Thanks for any replies. |

| My experience with Kahr is hit or miss...I had a PM9 that was very unreliable..I have a P9 that has been great...so basically if you have no issues with reliability with your CM9 I would be happy and content with that! I also have a Kahr in 380 the is ammo finicky |
| If your CM9 is reliable, stick with it. PM9 differences are entirely cosmetic and very minor. I believe the only reason Kahr kept the P series of guns was because they’re on the California approved list. |
If you think you’ve got problems now, just wait until you see the solution.

Owned a MK9, upgraded to a PM9. Loved that gun and carried it for around a decade. If you're going to stick with Kahr, then the PM9 would be a slight upgrade over the CM9, but it's not night and day. I ended up with a Sig P365 since it's almost identical in size and I like the trigger better. |

Carry it, shoot it. (repeat forever)

(Still) glad to see that this thread is still alive. I thought they archived after 30 days. Or does that only apply to GD threads? |

Think its just GD, or similar forums. This was one I wanted to keep alive, plus a question which I think I know the answer to. Kahr forum is slow but I've been carrying my PM9 for well over a decade, and PM40, CM9, and a P9(?) prior to that. |
