Expect to pay closer to $600 (though possibly less) for the PM9 and closer to $300 (same again) for the CM9. The base PM9 retails for $810, the base CM9 for $460. The question is really whether the detail work of the Kahr PM9 vs CM9 adds up to enough to justify the difference in MSRP. It's just that one has been pored over a whole heck of a lot. They both work, and in a lot of ways it's the same gun. It's kind of like the difference between a run-of-the-mill GI-spec 1911 and a Wilson Combat. In other words, the finished product gets less attention to the details to save cost, with no compromise in terms of function. A number of components are also MIM rather than milled, though that doesn't actually matter as much as people say it does.
The barrel is traditionally rifled, with spiral grooves instead of polygonal rifling. You won't have a problem getting purchase, but they spend a lot less time on it. The slide has a lot less machining and is very plain. There are some additional finish options available too, including Kryptek Camo, Armor Black, and even Tungsten with a Pachmayr Grip Glove and pinkie extension magazine floor plate for an additional charge. The rear sight is still drift-adjustable, and they do make a model with night sights. The base handgun sights are the same, except the front sight is polymer instead of steel, and pinned rather than dovetailed. You can buy the extended floor plate magazine a la carte if desired. The CM9 takes the same magazines, except it ships with only the 6-round flush fit. The CM9 has a 3.0-inch barrel, the PM9 has a 3.1-inch barrel.
The budget model is the Kahr CM9, which is virtually the same gun. Granted, you probably won't be making too many 100 yard shots with it.but every little bit counts. This gives projectiles more consistent velocity, a more stable spin and better accuracy. This creates a better gas seal with the bullet. Through a borescope, it looks like hills and valleys that twist toward the opening. Traditional rifling uses spiraling grooves cut into the barrel, but polygonal rifling cuts channels into the barrel. The barrel differs from the CM9 as the PM9's barrel employs polygonal rifling. You can also elect for a Rose Gold, matte stainless or black stainless finish. The base sights are 3-dot, though night sights can be had as an optional upgrade as can a factory-installed manual safety if desired. The frame is polymer, the slide is stainless with drift-adjustable sights. The flush-fit magazine holds 6+1 of 9mm, though a 7+1 magazine with a pinkie extension comes with it as well. It's also nice and light, at 14 ounces unloaded. The Kahr PM9 has a 3.1-inch barrel, standing 5.42 inches long, 4 inches tall and. In candor, the price difference doesn't yield any new features the difference is in the materials and build quality. The PM series by Kahr are their subcompacts, which makes them popular for concealed carry.
