Just finished watching this video. LINK I'm thinking of getting them both. Is the P380 your preferred pocket gun and is the CM9 your preferred IWB carry? Are the trigger, sights, feel pretty much the same? I'm thinking of selling my LC9.

Best decision I made. Shot my 9mm Shield yesterday. It ate everything without a hiccup. WWB,Tula,BrassMax, Critical Defense, and Barnes XPD.

Well my dad pocket carries the P380 (same size as a CW380) and has had success with it for almost two years. He really likes it. I would say it's the smoothest shooting micro 380 out there.

I carry the CM9 IWB mostly but I also carry it in my pocket with the flush fit mag if my pants have deep enough pockets. But the loaded gun is considerably heavier than the loaded 380.

Pretty much. The trigger is actually shorter on the 380 since the gun is dimensionally smaller.

Refer to this video if you haven't already. I compare them side by side:

The CM9 is dimensionally smaller than both the LC9 and Shield. Those are a tad too large for pocket carry whereas the CM9 can fit in some pockets.

If you like the LC9 you should go ahead do the following:

replace the trigger bar
install short trigger
remove mag safety
steel guide rod
springs

All those items can be installed in less than 15 minutes and the parts are available from Galloway Precision for about $150. You will think you have a new pistol.
