Gun Details
Peel back the layers of what defines an ultra- or micro-compact 9mm and you will always find three fundamental characteristics: small size, light weight, and good capacity. The CM9 has everything you want, and that means as little as possible. This is the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) poster gun. Based on the earlier PM9, the CM9 is a lower-priced variation with conventional rifling rather than the more costly Lothar Walther polygonal match grade barrel used in the PM9; it comes with one six-round magazine and is offered only in a two-tone finish with a 416 stainless steel slide, black polymer frame featuring molded-in front and backstrap serrations, textured grip panels and single magazine release. A traditional trigger cocking double-action-only (DAO) design using a Browning-style locked breech, the CM9 is a simple and straightforward pistol. No external safety and no magazine disconnect, so it will fire a chambered round with the magazine removed. Standard is a drift-adjustable dovetailed white bar-dot rear sight with matching fixed white dot front.
