Kahr CM9: All the top-quality details Kahr is known for in subcompact pistols are built into the 9mm CM9. To make the pistol more affordable, Kahr tweaked its manufacturing process on the high-end PM9 pistol to create the CM9. It has Kahr’s smooth trigger pull and striker-fired system, a polymer frame and a stainless slide with more simplified machining process to keep the cost down.
