Finally got to the range this afternoon for the initial range session with the CM9 I picked up Friday. Had the range all to myself, as I'm the only dummy shooting outdoors between 4-5:30 in 94 degree temps. I have to say I'm extremely happy after 250 rounds, using 3 different 6 round magazines, that my CM9 did NOT have a single hiccup. All rounds fired free hand at the 10 yard line, they all ejected & slide stayed open on every single last round. I'm a happy camper today. Target on the left is the 1st 100 FMJ's & target on the right is the 2nd 100 FMJ's, American Eagle 124 grain. The white target is a 50 round box of Speer Gold Dots 124 grain +P, and while my accuracy wasn't great for a first time out, it wasn't bad either. I started to hone in on the center of the 2nd target towards the end. I'm so glad I finally purchased the CM9. Yogi 8)

No kidding, next range trip. Never has been my forte going for the head, but what the heck! I was out to get the CM9 field tested, and man I'm a very happy camper tonight, the thing was flawless in every way! Have to admit though, my right hand feels like it's been rubbed with sand paper & I developed 2 blisters, but who's countin'? Yogi 8)

Felt a little difference in the standard FMJ & the +P JHP, but not enough to never carry the +P. I don't even want to think about body armor at this point, just wanted to hone the 'lil beauty in. I'm going to love this CM9, no question about it. I think the LCP is going to lose a lot of carry time, it's that great! Yogi 8)

Just like your Uncle Ray said it would be! :D
I'm very happy for you my friend, I know what it feels like. Elsie will now have major competition for carry time ;)
Nothing compares to a thoroughly satisfying weapon acquisition. Yogi is in 7th heaven, God is on His throne, all is well. Enjoy!

P.S. A slice of an old bicycle inner tube stretched across the grip does wonders.

Why did you shoot that guy on the right in the family jewels? ;D ;D

Good report and it is always good to have a good functioning new gun!

Thx Rich. Actually didn't know what to expect after reading about all the break-in problems over at Kahrtalk. Guess I did a great job prepping her, God only knows both my forearms are sore from hand-racking this beauty all weekend, bet it was over 500 times for sure. Loaded her up with HST 124 grain +P JHP's today and carried in my jeans front pocket all day, not a problem at all. LCP isn't going to get much, if any, pocket time now! Love this baby! Yogi :D :D :D

In all honesty Yog, a liver shot should be extremely effective. The shot liver (pun intended) of several drunks I know ended their lives rather quickly! :D

Ray, you are so correct on a liver shot. My younger brother is an M.D., and he says the liver shot will stop a BG very quickly. Maybe I should keep aiming at the "Family Jewels", huh? lol Yogi 8)
