Just finished breaking in a new CM9
Put around 300 rounds thru my new Kahr CM9 yesterday.
Had an issue with it I've never seen or heard of before and I've
been a gun nut since I was 6 years old.
The first 150 +/- rounds, every single magazine fired,
regardless of the round (115 gr WWB, Blazer Brass, Win Nato,
115 gr Critical Defense, 135 gr Critical Duty, 147 gr Gold Dot,
147 gr Hornady XTP, 124 gr Gold Dot) the trigger would not
fully reset on the second to last round. It was in full battery
and mag fully seated. If you put your trigger finger behind the
trigger and just barely touched it, you'd hear it "click" and it
would fire. All it would take is just a hair touch to finish resetting
the trigger. Full mag with one in the tube, 1/2 full mag, it
didn't matter, it would fire that 2nd to the last round but would
not reset the trigger. I'd have to do it manually.
At right around 150 rounds, I broke it down and cleaned it.
(I had cleaned it before shooting it too.)
Back out to the my range and again, 1st magazine fired it did
not reset the trigger after the second to the last round was
fired.
Then, on the next mag and every single mag after that, it
shot every round and locked back on empty. Again, didn't
matter what round I shot, it ran perfectly.
When Kahr says to put at least 200 rounds thru their product
before putting it on your EDC list, they weren't kidding. It shot
POA at 10, 15 and 25 yds. Got a CT Laserguard on the way for
it.
Anyway, I love this CM9. Wife does too. I'm going to pick me
up another CM9 or a PM9 as soon as I locate one. Got a feeling
I won't have this one long before she decides she needs to step
up from her LCP to a CM9.

BTW: My CM9 seemed to prefer the lighter bullet weights. Shot
the 115 gr FMJ and the 115 gr Critical Defense the best.
