Designed and manufactured in the U.S., the Kahr CM9 is a budget-friendly polymer-frame 9 mm Luger pistol intended for concealment and defense. Quality is not lacking within the CM9 pistol, though savings were realized through economized machining processes and the use of some MIM (metal injection molding) parts. Steel inserts within the frame add to its integrity and the pistol features a drift-adjustable rear sight. Measuring just less than 1” wide and weighing about 14 ozs. empty, the CM9 provides a cost-conscious option for concealed carry from Kahr Firearms Group.
