I picked up a CM9 today. I never could locate a PM9 to check out in person so I decided I would rather own and shoot a CM9 than waste time, gas and ammo dollars looking for a PM9. If I find the PM9 later and like it better, I'll buy it and sell the CM9.... but until then, I'll be shooting my newest addition.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the replies so far, I appreciate the info!

Not sure which way I'm leaning... $$ is not the issue, although it's a consideration.

So I have been considering another small/light 9mm for light attire carry. (to replace my PF-9) I think the Kahrs mentioned will suit my needs. I know the published differences in the two models and consider them mostly irrelevant for my intended purpose. I've read a few accounts that claim the PM9 actually shoots (feels) different. But, as I have not owned or fired either, I look to you guys for some real world feedback. I'm also not in an area with a range that has a rental option.

My current Kel-tec PF-9 has been flawless and I carry it with confidence, however, everyday I read (at KTOG) about short life expectancy and lots of issues that show up later... even on the one that were good at first. So my long term expectation for this gun is that it will need to be replaced in the carry rotation. I like to be proactive on this so I don't end up needing a new carry piece before it's broken in and proven.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on the Kahrs or any other suitable, similarly sized option.

Thanks!
