Just wanted to check to see if anyone has successfully shot Thunder Ranch +P 115gr DPX ammo through their CM9?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Pete

I've tried a bunch of the more common choices and finally ended up finding one I like, Winchester white box 147 grain JHP. It shoots and cycles very well and I don't experience the nose dive when hand racking the slide.
As an added bonus, it's about $20 for 50 rounds.
I just thought you might want to know that this is not really a good SD ammo. It does not expand at all and is pretty much like shooting FMJ. Just letting you know for your own safety.

The WWB 147 gr. JHP is my go to back up.
I’ve seen conflicting reports but it did well in my own test.
Here’s another WWB test and a few pics of my own.
I tried other HP’s as my main but, always seem to come back to Gold Dot.
You just can’t go wrong with GD’s IMO

If a sign could stop evil….They’d make holsters for them!!
If thick clothing is your concern I'd consider Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball or Hornady Critical Defense ammo.
+1 I'd definitely stick with high quality ammo for self defense. There are many different quality brands. I'm sure you can find one that your gun runs reliably. I'd only use Winchester White Box JHP or FMJ for the range!! Just my $0.02.

I use Black Hills 115 Extra power HP's. Cheaer at 50 to box and function fine. BH is a good company so I don't have to worry about a lot of shot to shot variation.
I know there are all kinds of thoughts on SD ammo, but wanted to see if there is any that are preferred or feed perfect in the CM9? I recall in some previous guns I've owned I purchased short barrel versions of Speer Gold Dot ammo. Has anyone put A LOT of SD ammo down the pipe of their CM9? I am using Speer Lawman 115gr FMJ range ammo. I would tend to just go with hollowpoint versions of the Speer Gold Dot in the same 115gr, but I know they have hollowpoint 124gr, FMJ 147gr, and 124gr +P (among others). I am just partial to Speer as it has always worked well in my guns.
BUT- I just read some great stuff on the Black Hills Ammo 115gr JHP +P. I know NOTHING about Black Hills Ammo. Thoughts? Comments?
Speer Gold Dot 124g +p JHP. Have about 75 rounds through my CM9 with 0 problems. I think the manual recomends 124g ammo
Have put 400-500 rds various fmj ammo with maybe 3-4 misfeeds & that was in the first 200 rds of break in.
FYI... From Kahrs Q&A page...
Q. Which ammunition is recommended for use with Kahr firearms?
A. Kahr Arms does not endorse any particular brand of ammunition. However, not every brand of ammunition produces the same results. Please check the markings on the barrel hood of your firearm to determine the proper caliber. Kahr suggests a visit to a pistol range to test fire different brands of ammunition in the proper caliber. Kahr cautions against the use of reloads. Lead (unjacketed) bullets can cause excessive fouling and extra attention to cleaning the bore is recommended after firing lead bullets. The Kahr pistol is rated to +P.
