I guess I'm going backwards in our " must have double stack" magazine world. No I don't have to have a lot of bullets to defend myself, all I have to do is place one or two correctly if the need arises.
I have always liked Kahr pistols simply because they are, 1- American made, 2- they work very well. having said that I came across the Kahr CM9 in tungsten and I bought it. The first thing I saw in the box was a copy of the U.S. constitution, when was the last time you bought a firearm and got one of those with it? There was also two other gifts in there, a Pachmayr hand grip and two Pearce pinky magazine butt plates.
I broke the pistol down and cleaned it and then grabbed a bag of 9mm that had a mix of 115gr, 124gr and 147gr all in there together and headed to the range. I went to pistol bay 7 which has both plywood backers and a rack of steel plates to play with in it.
Plywood first, I put a four target sheet of paper, 4" targets up and started at 7yds and after couple of rounds I had them inside the 4" target, and then I went to the other bullseyes and shot at 10yds and then 15yds and kept all of them in the 4" targets.
Next to the steel plates, Since I had an idea of where it shot now I backed out to 10yds and it knocked 5 of the 6 plates down with no problem, (I was only loading five rounds at a time in the magazine). Next out to 15yds and after five plates falling down I went to 20yds and repeated it again, the little pistol ran perfect and after fifty rounds I called it good for two reasons, 1- I was out of ammo, and 2- it was in the 20's up there and my hands were cold enough that I was having trouble racking the slide.
Looking at the hit marks on the plates it looks like the CM9 was most accurate at 10-15yds and those shots were center of the plate, more shooting to come of course, but for now it's very much a great little pocket pistol, I had forgotten how well made and how much fun Kahr pistols are.
