CM9 Ammunition Sensitive But Still 5 Stars UPDATE PG2

Interesting. Shows you never know about some things. Glad you found s good carry load though.

Were all the HSTs from the same box? Did you try them in another gun?

Dave, I used three different lot numbers of HST just to ensure I didn't have a random box with "bad" primers. Interestingly, these same lot numbers fired successfully thru the G43 & PPS yesterday. I gotta say though.....the CM9 is more fun to shoot than either of those guns and I seem to be a wee bit more accurate with it. I really like my MK9 Elite but the CM9's weight advantage and accuracy makes me wonder why the heck I didn't buy one sooner!

Elde - that sure is strange. Thankfully there's a lot of great ammo available that isn't HST.

My CM9 did fine with 124 grain and 147 grain HST.

Update: Not wanting to be without the gun while the factory examines it & not wanting to take the chance that their remedy would not alleviate the issue, I ordered a new firing pin and spring from Kahr. Today, after 200 rounds of HST 124 & 147gr JHP I experienced no issues. I'm now calling the gun "fixed" and fit for carrying!
