re: Glock 43 vs Kahr cm9 experience.

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.
