I still love my Kahrs. I have 5 and have only had a moments trouble with one, at break in. I carry the CM9 with 7 rds and a trigger that feels like the finest S&W DA trigger ever honed at 6 pounds. Carry a spare mag with 7 and love the sights. Not until the 640 Pro did Smith make a serious sight for a belly gun under 2.25"s The gun 20ozs loaded with 124 grain 9mms that out shine the 38 +P greatly. I have many wheel guns of several makes and frame sizes but the CM9 in summer and CW45 in winter are my go to guns. 10 yrs of Kahrs and I have found them to be utterly reliable.
