They can't admit the Shield is just as good if not better at a lower price.
Price isn't a factor. I just paid $376.00 for a CM9.

Price isn't a factor. I just paid $376.00 for a CM9.
Which begs the question:
Is the Shield to be considered more equal to the CM9 ($400) or the PM9 ($650)?
Well, I paid $650 + tax for the Pm9 I had with factory night sights, about 2.5 years ago. But, I think the Shield is more comparible to the Pm9, as the sights are dovetailed on the front like the PM9.
Are the PM9 and CM9 the same size? If so, are the features and quality you get with the Shield closer to those of the PM9 or the CM9?
Any problems with your P380? I want a pocket 380 and have been driving myself nuts trying to make the decision.
I want:
-Reliability
-A slide that locks back on last round
-No manual Safety
-No integrated laser
I've convinced myself that I want the Kahr (having never shot one) but am concerned based on many things I have heard. Seems as though they are quite hit and miss. Riddled with FTE, FTF, FTRTB
I also don't like the fact that Kahr says you are to chamber the first round by using the slide release/lock as opposed to racking the slide
I am on a lot of various gun forums... I have noticed that the Kahr owners just are frothing at the gums about The Shield.
I had a Kahr PM9 until today... I just sold it today after getting my S&W Shield. I like the Shield better. However, the Kahr is a good gun too. I have not really said anything negative about it. It's just a matter of preference...
But damn... The Kahr fanatics just won't say - hey, I like the Kahr better. Some are just going out of there way with ridiculous examples and made up stuff, to some degree. Worst place is the Kahrtalk Forum, but I guess that is to be expected. But, I am seeing some of this other places to. A little here and a little there...
Damn, some of them are taking it personally.. It's like geeze, it's just another gun. Relax....
Anyone else seen any of this?
Being both a S&W and Kahr owner (among more than a half dozen other brands of quality firearms), what they are talking about is no different than what is being written in this thread, just the other brand of handgun.
It is silly to see such threads being started by both sides about the other.
The Shield is also 35%+ heavier than the CM9. If you don't think that the extra weight makes a difference, put one in your baggy cargo pants (if it fits) and take off running. What is the safest method to save your own life when not directly engaged in a gun fight? Fleeing! Now imagine that you have to pick up a 4 year old child to get them out of the way too. Will the extra weight cause you to adjust the child even when amped up? Maybe.
. . . I can't wait until the Shield is Mass compliant in a month or so.
