Glock 43 vs Kahr cm9 experience.
Posted by dstone12 on 10/9/15 at 9:02 am00
I see the diffrences in wt, size Etc.
Does anyone have experience with -both- and how do you like your preference for conceal carry?

If those are the choices, I would go with the Kahr. They just do those types of guns better - at the end of the day, the Glock is still going to be a smallish brick.
I find that Glock scaling down does not present the same advantages in weight and ease of carry that their larger offerings do. And to be fair, I haven't shot the Glock single stack, yet, but I've held a few. The Kahr has trigger issues, but if I were getting a gun in that category, I'd probably get the Kahr, although I'd probably kick up to the PM9. Either way, I would probably do something to the trigger, which is the only real knock on the Kahrs.

Kahr or Shield. The G43 is stupid. Very stupid.

Ace,
What's your issue w/ the Kahr trigger?

I don't have serious heartaches with it - the stock trigger is just a little long (and I'm a Sig guy, so that's saying something) and the reset isn't really clean. I haven't tried their elite trigger, but I'm told it really cleans things up, both a shorter pull and a shorter, cleaner reset.
But, I've pushed Kahr on here without even owning one, baw, you know that.

I regularly carry a CM9. My other carry gun is a Glock 19. I do not have any issues with the trigger on the Khar. Yes , it is long but I find it very smooth and predictable. I was surprised about how capable it is for a small pistol. I am able to keep all 7 shots into the center chest zone on a full size target at 20 yards. IMHO, that's pretty good for a small pistol such as this. However, to be fair, I have not shot it side by side with a G43 nor a Shield.
I own the CM9 and it's about as small as I would want to go in a 9MM. The trigger is a little long, however it's really smooth. I actually don't mind a longer trigger when it comes to smaller guns. It's a safety issue. I believe Bapple has a video on YouTube with either a CM9 or PM9. Also, take a look at the Ruger LC9s. That new trigger is awesome.

It doesn't eat the flat nose rounds very well.

I haven't shot any of the single stack Glocks or the Shield. I can say definitively that of those 3 that Kahr fits my hand the best and has the best overall feel of any of the subbies. I'm a Sig guy, but, if I go with a polymer subcompact - mainly for pocket carry - it will be a Kahr CM9 or PM9 - about that I have very little doubt.
(ETA: And I keep forgetting the LC9 - that is the dark horse against the Kahrs unless I find a tiny Sig that is just right).

To be honest - every single blowback .380 (or equivalent) is finicky with ammo, possibly excepting the Makarov.

actually when it comes to .380 ammo, WWB is the worst because of the flat nose. I won't buy it because of the feeding issues. I buy either American Eagle or Monarch Brass from Academy.
I'm obviously a glock homer so I'd lock the 43.... I've had mine a few months and it's been a enjoyable gun to shoot. The few times I've shot a kahr I couldn't get used to that long trigger pull. It's a smooth pull but I seem to remember it being very long.... It's been a while since I've shot one though.

What are you shooting for target practice? How about self defense loads?
