Kahr CM-9 anyone?

Wife has finally started showing an interest in shooting. Currently, her bedside gun is a .38 snubbie and it's pretty foolproof. She's shot it and did well. But the gun buying bug has struck again and I've been looking on the internet about small 9mm reviews. The CM-9 seems to stand out for price and features.
Anyone with any experience?

It's a source of great pride for me, that when my name is googled, one finds book titles and not mug shots. Daniel C. Chamberlain

Seriuosly, if there are no plans on carrying it, I would go with the bigger CW9.

I will add though since it's for your wife, Mrs. Razorbacker uses my S&W 19 as her nightstand gun. But I started her on a little H&R in .32 SWL. Think J frame. She never said anything but when she said she wanted a 9mm we went to a gun show for her to handle some. I took her straight to a Kahr 9. She picked it up and said no, it fits like that little one and I didn't like it. So we handled a lot more. The 2 she liked, a full sized Glock and one of those new SCCYs. There's supposed to be an article on those in the upcoming issue of G&A.

The M does leave the pinky finger unsupported. Curl it up under the magazine floor to give structure to the grip.
The W is slightly larger giving something to grasp with the pinky and holds an additional round. The magazine will also work in the smaller M.
Two thumbs up on either or both.:up::up:
Hoe many gus do you has?
Most everyone I know of has good service from Kahr. A few have had less than stellar service but a call asking for Ian generally solves any issue.
:roll2:
Too bad you had a traumatic experience with Kahr that has apparently left you devastated. I hope you recover, in time, and that Kahr remedies any problems they may have had with customer service. Most manufacturers do let a dud slip through occasionally, and sometimes a single employee can go 'off the reservation' and create a bad service experience.
My experiences with Kahr guns and service has been the opposite of yours, and that includes 4 different models over a period of several years.
