The trigger pull is a bit much but mine has improved. It still has a certain amount of predictable, repeatable creep. For a single action gun carried in a pocket, I almost consider the trigger pull weight a safety feature in additional to the mechanical safety. I have not regretted purchasing mine.


Good info.

Have you ever measured the trigger pull weight?

My take on a pocket gun is this..pull,point shoot.
I don't want levers,safety's or anything else to do. It's an UN-nerving event,no fun,no BS and if if all goes well, you will wake up in your own bed in the morning...the other guy won't
Getting shot F#$#$^kin hurts....
I carry a J-frame and a Diamondback ....in my truck Glock 23,my wife's truck a Glock 19, in the home,all hell breaks loose.... I have 6 major "gangs" in my area...so...
not paranoid here..just ready.Go to your local range,rent everything you can find and shoot it.Then pony up and buy it.It's your life,the price of the gun is small when you compare what you may be leaving behind...

I have not had the trigger pull weight measured.

I shot my Kahr CM 9 again this weekend, amazing accurate and the price is not going to break the bank. This pistol has never jammed with any ammo shot through it.

It is a very tiny gun and I sold my tiny Ruger 9mm within a week of getting the Kahr due to accuracy issues, they are the same size pistol.

Both of these pistols have a long trigger pull which some people have to master or can not shoot accurately at all. The Kahr CW9 is also easily concealed, make no mistake about that fact also, mine is also very accurate.

Size of your hands may dictate just how small a pistol you can carry, but a pistol that just slips in your back or front pocket will be with you vs left at home more often than not.

The Kahr CM 9 easily fits in your front or back pocket. The Kahr CW9 will fit under your belt with the muzzle riding in the watch pocket of your jeans easily.

Waders,

I had a PF9 with never a problem but had bad luck with other Kel-Tec irons that I sold the PF 9. I now have a pair of Rugers: LCP and LC9. What great guns they are.

Hornady, Gold Dot, and Cor-Bon all shoot reliably through each gun. I also like the looks of the LCP and LC9 better than the corresponding Kel-Tec's.

Waders - I picked up an S&W M&P Shield in 9mm at Cabelas when they first came out a couple months back. I carry it IWB in a PJ Holsters kydex holster and it's like its not even there.

Take a good look at one if you get a chance. I'm very happy with this pistol.

Glock 26, S&W M&P, Shield, Kel-tec PF9, Ruger LC9.

Handle them all, see what works best for you.

You will not go wrong with any of the above.

I too am readdressing a pocket carry. Have the Glock 17 and like it. Have shot many of the 9mm & 45s out there. I like a 45, but think the limitations on capacity detract from any benefit the larger caliber may offer. Really like the SR9c, but think it's a bit too big to carry reliably. Leaning towards an LC9. Any significant experience with them?
