The Glock side

[daddyo]

Well, I did it. I was coming home from Chattanooga yesterday and stopped at the Outpost Armory. They had one standard Gen 4 Glock 19 left, so it went home with me. Looking forward to putting some downrange with it. I may have to go back and get that Kahr CM9 I fondled before the end of the month.  :cool:

Nice choice. Enjoy

Congrats on a nice pistol.

[Peevee]

they are nice

With all the talk about the Gen 4 19 models, I had an opportunity to get one recently.

 

I haven't shot it yet, but intend to take it and my faithful Gen 3 and run them side by side, as it were. It will have to be pretty darn impressive for me to set aside the Gen 3.

I swapped my Gen 3 for a Gen 4, mainly because my 23 is a Gen 4. Nothing wrong with the Gen 3. Just have a slight preference for the feel of the 4

The main thing I like on the Gen 4 over the Gen3 is the much larger magazine release. It doesnt protrude further just has more surface area. The rest of the differences i couldnt care less about

[mhl6493]

I don't have either the Gen 3 or Gen 4 Glock 19, but I've had a chance to hold them both.  I'd probably choose the Gen 4 because of the ability to change out the backstrap.  I have relatively small hands, and a regular double-stack Glock grip is a handful for me.

 

And congrats on your new pistol.  Enjoy!

The CM9 Kahr is a nice pistol.  It is a powder puff with Winchester White Box 115 grain but Ranger T +P+ not so much... :)  I have some Gold Dot LE 115 grain bought from SGAmmo that I haven't had a chance to test.  I was hoping to find a good defense round with a little less recoil than the Ranger T for carry ammo.  The Ranger T didn't hurt your hand but was slow getting back on target... :)

Very nice. I think those two make a very good carry system. Conceal and deep conceal. I'm thinking about retiring my PF9 and picking up a CM9.

[chances R]

CM9 is OK....but pretty tough trigger.  Don't think I would be shooting +P+ even as a defensive load in a small pistol.  Waste of time, larger muzzle flash and slow 2nd shot.  More wear and tear on the small frame.  My guess is there is little difference in MV  and certainly even less downrange difference given the short barrel.

I actually went back to the shop to buy it back from them and it was gone. The Kahr's have one of the smoothest triggers I've ever felt, but they're very long and it breaks pretty far back, so it takes a little practice not to pull off target

And that is why I don't like Kahr's at all. Thank you. MANY better options out there.

Kahrs have the same kind of trigger as a revolver in double action, has worked for years.

True. I can only speak for MY hands; the grip is far too thin to get a decent grip and work that trigger. It's just too "wrong," for me. That obviously doesn't hold true across any board. IF the grip was more substantial, ala my S&W .357, then yes, it would be great.

 

KKing... yeah, "many" may have been a tad strong, lol. For me, the Ruger/Glock/Walther type triggers are much better. That's for ME.

[maroonandwhite]

I actually like the trigger on the Kahrs....... I just can't shoot it worth a darn. My fingers are too long and if I use the pad of my thumb I always pulled it off target. Couldn't seem to make that 75 yard shot. :rofl:

 

M&P trigger for me all the way!!

[nightrunner]

Honestly i dont care for that kind of trigger EXCEPT for pocket pistols, which Kahr excels at

 Watch a video on youtube or similar on how to detail strip (completely take apart) your Glock. With only 34 parts , you'll never want a gun with any more parts . Glock are just amazing. They work and work and work. Plus hardly need any oil at all. 

[DWARREN123]

Glocks are very basic and simple pistols, easy to shoot and care for.

Congrats on your new pistol.

[jimmydeuce]

Congrats on the 19. I got a CM9 in trade last week. Great little pocket gun.

[Randall53]

I have a gen4 34 and love it. Great pistols IMO.  I'd love to have a model 23.  Maybe someday soon.
