Kahr PM9 vs CM9

[Fishhooks]

Is the PM9 really worth the extra $$$ over the CM9? Same size and weight, am I missing something significant here?

The PM9 slide has a milled front sight post and a bit more resistant to damage. It has a polygonal rifled barrel and many say not to fire lead cast through this type of rifling. The slide has more milling cuts and better markings. Otherwise the PM9 and CM9 are pretty much the same pistol.

The CM9 is a heck of a bargain for what it is and both are more accurate than one would expect for such a compact pistol.

What he said! I personally carry the CM9 but the front sight IS plastic and it is still a darn nice gun and incredibly accurate for the size!

Not worth the price difference!

PM9 = Better barrel, better trigger (imo) due to articulating slidestop.

More sight options


For a close in weapon, I don't know if those feature mean much..... might make a diff at 20 yards though.

I found kahr's "stainless" steel stained quite a bit. Nothing else I've owned has ever gotten a spec of rust. The pm9 with black diamond finish is indestructible and shows no signs of carry wear.

Worth the price difference? No
