I was looking for a some opinions. I have a shot (no pun intended) of getting a Kahr CM9 or a Sig p938. I'm looking for concealed carry and pocket carry at times as well. I was wondering what some of you might suggest as to what you think is better than the other.
I own both the Sig P938 and the Kahr CM9.
I like them both and they are nice small conceal carry guns.
I carry all my conceal carry guns with a round in the chamber. You may or may not choose to do so, that’s your option.
The Sig P938 is a single action firearm that I carry cocked and locked and when drawn the safety must be disengaged prior to firing. It has a short trigger pull that has gotten better as I have broken it in. We have over 500 rounds through it without any issues.
It came with two mags, a 6 and 7 round.
Also note that Sig currently has a promotion where you can get two 7 round mags and
A pistol bag by mail. Details on their website.
The Kahr CM9 is a DAO action firearm that has a long smooth pull and all I have to do is just draw and fire, no safety other than the good old trigger finger or if you choose not to carry with a round in the chamber. We currently have over 400 rounds through it without any issues. It came with one 6 round mag.
Also note that Kahr currently has a promotion where you can get one 6 round mag by mail. Details on their website.
When shooting at the range the target for each will look very similar. I shoot one as well as the other.
II like both firearms but if I had to choose one it would probably be the Sig.
If you shop carefully you can get a CM9 for about half price of the P938.
Don’t discount other fine small compact pistols such as the S&W Shield 9 or Springfield Armory XDs 9 if you are looking for a single stack pistol; However they are not quite as small as the Sig P938 or Kahr CM9.
When I carry a small 9mm it’s usually my Sig but my best shooting conceal carry 9mm by far is my Ruger SR9C. When I carry a 45 it’s a Glock 30S. The later two I shoot very well.
Hope this helps some.
