 Notables:

• Tapered Slide Aids Concealability
• Rifled Barrel, as Opposed to Polygonal
• Checkerboarding of Front and Back of Grips (straps) Means Major Control
• "Simple Control Buttons Were Easy to Manage"
• Well Cut Slide Serrations Means a Solid Grip
• "Shoots to Point of Aim"
• "Much Better Trigger than the CW9"
• Plastic Sights and No External Safety
• Top-Heavy When Empty
• Standard Kahr Takedown Process, Simple Reassembly
• Accuracy Under 2" at 15 Yards (?)
• "No problems with a variety of 9mm ammo"
• "Superior ability to land multiple, fast shots."

Basically: "Kel-Tec PF9 still rules this class, but the CM9 is a close 2nd place, due mainly to the higher price."

Forum Opinions:

• Respectable Bullet Velocities for a Short Barrel
• Long-Pull Trigger Must be Fully Reset
• the Sights are a Joke
