Hi guys!
I purchased my first Kahr, a CM9 yesterday. IU pick it up in 2 weeks after it is added to my permit. Its my 4th pistol in my collection and might end up being my favorite.
I was looking for a pocket pistol for the summer to throw in the pocket of my cargo shorts and to wear in a belly band while jogging outside.
I had narrowed my choice down between:

1) Kahr CM9
2) KAhr CW9
3) Sccy CPX-2
4) Diamondback DB9
5) Kel-Tec PF9

I ended up picking the CM9 based off of reviews online video and text and its size. Man it felt so good in my hand and slipped in the pocket with ease. The CW9 was alittle bigger than that and didnt fit in the pocket the way I wanted.
I couldnt find a CPX-2 in person to try and hold, I was told by the local gun store who had a DB9 to stay WAY away from them and the PF9 I just wasnt digging it.
Anyhow the CM9 feels so quailty man. I hope it works out for me.
I also purchased the crimson trace for it and talon grips (sand paper verison) ( use the talon grips on my glock and love it.
Once the gun gets here I will buy the Night sites for it and ship it to Kahr to have them install it.
anyhow wanted to say hello and thanks. I will start reading on the CM9 now.

Welcome to the forum, kflo01! :) There is a wealth of valuable information in the New Member Area (http://kahrtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56) and the Kahr-Tech (http://kahrtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27) sections of the forum.

And welcome to the CM9 Owners Club! :D Our official symbol is the wide grin smily because we are so happy with our purchase that we can't wipe the smiles off our faces!

Here is your club badge.

The best holster I have found for forget-it-is-there comfort 24/7 with my CM9 is the PJ IWB Holster (http://pjholster.com/?page_id=37). There are so, so many members here that will concur. Paul is a great guy and a real gun lover, and he performs magic with kydex - making the holster incredibly comfortable to where you can't tell it is there whether sitting, standing or moving about. It is like the mass of the gun disappears, becoming one with your body. I carry mine with a 15° cant just behind my hip - the sweet spot. I prefer the linked one with the over the belt clip. It is available with j-hook, c-hook and velcro attachment method, and tuckable is an option. I have a tuckable one with velcro for if I need total concealment, but normally wear the above under a loose shirt.

You made the right choice. Your gonna love the CM9. It's my favorite daily carry. I back it up with a P380 when I feel the need.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Man I've dropped some money on this Kahr before I have even picked it up yet.

189.00 on crmison trace w/holster
42.00 on pistol wear hoslter
going to spend another 42.00 on high noon iwb tuckable holster tomorrow.
then i might drop 40.00 on the Kahr night sight and then have to pay kahr to install it.
Thats allot of money on this gun when it cost me 449.99 + tax out the door.
