I wanted to update a post I wrote three years ago about the CM40 that I purchased. At that time the CM40 wouldn't fire more than a few rounds without a FTF. I tried many, many different ammos and finally found that it would operate ok on the Win. SXZ sold only at Outdoor World. I sent it back to Kahr several times but never had success with it so after I had put around 3-400 rounds through it, I put it away. About a year later I read that Kahr had come out with a lightweight .45. I purchased the CM45 and have never looked back. It is the smoothest gun that I own and With about 1,000 rounds through it, I have never had a problem. That caused me to take the CM40 back out and give it another try. I tried several other types of ammo with more rounded noses and found several that worked very well: Federal Hydra Shok and Double Tap. It has been back in my rotation for about six months now and I couldn't be happier. I had to retire my Kel Tec P11 and so I decided to get the CM9. I took it to the range today and put 200 rounds of Walmart White Box through it without any problems. If I didn't already have the S&W Bodyguard and Ruger LCP, I would really consider Kahr's .380. Just wanted to set the record straight.....

A Gun is a lot like a parachute. If you need one and don't have one, you probably won't need one again.
