Thread: Size difference between CW9 and PM9?

  1. #1

    Default Size difference between CW9 and PM9?

    Can't put my hands on them, what is the actual size difference? I have a PM40, would like a 9mm the same size. Thanks!

    PM 9 would be identical, CW would be slightly larger.

    Exactly what I thought-the "slightly larger" is the rub. I have a G19 and a S&W SD9VE, and hope it would be smaller than those! Just a bit too big...but both great shooters! I am thinking of going smaller, so the PM is probably more of what I am looking for. Anyone have pics overlapped? Thanks!

    If your PM40 is of recent manufacture*, then either a recent manfacture PM9 or CM9 will be very close in size to your PM40 (*early versions of the PM9 and PM40 have shorter slides than the current versions).
    I believe the frames are the same size while the PM40's slide is just slightly wider then the 9mm slide. I put a PM40 top end on my CM9 when I had it and that combination functioned without issue. For some comparison, there are photos here:

    Here's a handy little size chart comparison chart for some pistols. It doesn't have all the pistols, but it has the 2 your looking for. It also has the Glock 19 for comparison.
