K'ahr Arms is well known in the shooting community for making a wide variety of quality pistols used by both law enforcement and civilians for concealed carry. The newest addition to Kahr's line of subcompact pistols is the CM9, a value-priced 9mm subcompact. The CM9 is a no-frills compact pistol. It's not as pretty as some of Kahr's other handguns, but it's a practical, inexpensive, quality gun. PRACTICAL NOT PRETTY The exterior of the CM9's slide has fewer machining operations, resulting in a rather slab-sided appearance. Its plastic front sight is pinned in place rather than mounted in a dovetail machined into the slide. Slide markings are engraved rather than rollmarked. The slide stop is a metal-injection-molded component rather than being a machined part. The three-inch barrel has conventional rifling rather than the polygonal used on higher end Kahr pistols. Lastly, the CM9 is shipped with a single, six-round magazine. Like I said, this is a value gun, meant to be practical, not pretty or luxurious. The result is a handgun with a suggested retail price that's significantly less than the company's "high end" PM9.
