I paid 420 for mine from pk90 a few months before he moved. Have been seeing them on slickguns for a bit cheaper recently. Pm bluelinefish. He was trying to sell his a bit ago.

A cm9 or pk90?

CM9 is the gun. PK90 is the vendor.

Good price on the Nano at CDNN

If you're near me you can try mine

342. Cm9 comes with 1 mag only

the Kahr cm9 is on my what the heck why not list. Need to use a permit in the family very soon so maybe...and Kahr has acurrent promo for a freextra mag going. they' re just not easy to get a hand on to look at. all reviews agree the pull is very smooth but it is a dao pull so a little long so I hear.

Yea. It is a long trigger, but like you said its smooth. Heavy recoil spring, and its a little tough to rack the slide. You have to put aome force behind it. And 200 rd break in.

Ok... So the Kahr and nano seem to get great reviews... I think I'm taking the sccy off the list. And adding those two, so I went from 3 to 4, lol! Ive held the mp and the ruger and really like the feel. The ruger had the viridian laser, I liked that feature. I love my gp100 so maybe that's why I want to love the lc9 so much.

I've heard very little about these and don't know anyone who has one. But the nano has perked my curiosity.

 

I shot a Nano once.  Didn't like it.  Harder to control than a Shield, which I like and own.

It is harder for relatively new shooters because the pull is long.  That's why practice is fundamental...

 

I need to shoot my Nano more.

My vote is for the PM9. Great single stack 9mm. Has good usable sights unlike a lot of smaller/pocket guns. Holds 6+1 (I carry 7 round extended mags as reloads) and has a nice trigger, reminiscent of a nice double action revolver. It is small enough for pocket carry, big enough for holster CCW. I carry it often as BUG to a full size pistol either in a pocket or on my ankle. Occasionally it is my primary carry piece on my hip in a Comp-Tac IWB. It's nice having full power 9mm in a compact and shootable package.

 

The S&W Shield is nice, but it's a bit big for pocket carry. It's is a great AIWB. The grip is big enough for a secure draw, the safety makes sure you don't castrate yourself and the barrel is short enough that it is comfortable when sitting.

 

If you can wait, Glock is rumored to be making that new single stack .380 in 9mm. I am eagerly anticipating its release, but at the same time I'm not holding my breath.

I'll have to check to see if the local shop has a Kahr to hold. What's the big diff in the cm9 and pm9?

I've read many reviews about the SCCY 2 and they were all generally positive.  The only potential issue could be the DAO trigger.  It's a little heavier and has a tiny bit of take up.  Overall it's reliable and small, it fits the pocket/nightstand role well.  But you will have to get used to the trigger.

Cm9 all the way, had one regretted selling it.

Shield

I'm a big fan of my nano

I have had a bunch of sub compacts. Right now i am using a glock 26 and a cm9. Sold my xd9 sub compact..was just a bit too big. Also can't go wrong with an older smith like a 3953 or 3913 or 14

A 3913/3953 is way to big for pocket carry.

Yeah..i missed the pocket part. I will stick with the cm9

PM9  after a lot of research I went for the extra $100.

 

Light, thin, and not the worst trigger.

Looking for a pocket 9mm for CC and the night stand. I'm looking to spend no more than 4 bills and have narrowed it down to these three:

 

Ruger LC9

SCCY CPX2

MP9 Shield

 

Thoughts on these or others I may be overlooking? Thanks in advance

 

I have an LC9, you're welcome to shoot it if you're North.  You won't be too happy.  Trigger is long, recoil is stout.  In my opinion, not many of these are true pocket guns unless you are wearing cargo pants.

I have a Shield and have shot most of the guns mentioned. The Shield shoots the nicest , but it is definitely not a pocket gun. It fits into a useless category of " has the disadvantage of reduced capacity without the advantage of being able to put it in a pocket holster , but shoots nice " .  If there actually was a need for a gun in that category , it would win hands down. It could be concealed in a bag or fanny pack ( shudder) ..but if you are going to do that why not go with a little more capacity?

Useless fun to shoot non pocket gun. I do tuck it in my yoga pants with a small leather IWB holster when I am home alone. In case the dogs for some odd reason would not give me ample warning to get to my safe to get a real gun if someone was trying to break in.  

Want to buy mine? lol

And that is the reason I did not run out to buy one......  the M&P 9 compact does all that, with larger grip, and more rounds....   

There was aI think one or two used Kahrs over at Otto's last time I was there. Not sure of the models...

My friends wife has a Nano and it's way to small for my hands.

 

Or Bud's... http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_51/products_id/27919

I am a proponent of concealed carry over open carry, even though I can do either without a permit. Having spent an entire year in the desert, I have come to retire my Rourbaugh to the safe and carry a safety-less 9mm Shield on the hip. And on the really hot days, my Seecamp 380 goes in my pocket. I actually carry less than I did in NJ, because I feel safer.

Another vote for the cm9, its a great gun.

The Shield is nice but I prefer my Kahr CW9 it's a very accurate gun. Ruger LCP in a leather holster is not much bigger that my IPhone. 

PM9 after a lot of research I went for the extra $100.

What did you find in your research that made you go with the PM9 over the CM9? It looks like most of the differences between the 2 are cosmetic and nothing that would affect reliability?

I had the pm9 and it was a very nice gun after the break in period, save some money get the cm9, buy ammo and a nice iwb holster.

If you're closer to Central Jersey and want to come out to Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol in Jackson, you can try my LC9.
