Kahr Arms Cm9 Cm9093N 9Mm 3.1 6R Fns 2Tn

The Kahr Arms CM9 is a slim, lightweight 9mm pistol built for concealed carry and personal defense. This double-action-only compact handgun balances shootability with genuine pocket-friendly dimensions, making it a solid choice for anyone seeking reliable everyday protection without bulk. The CM9's reputation comes from straightforward engineering: it does what a carry gun needs to do without unnecessary complexity.

The frame is textured polymer in black, keeping weight down to just 14 ounces while maintaining a confident grip. The stainless steel slide wears a matte finish that resists glint and corrosion. With a 3-inch barrel and 6-round magazine capacity, the CM9 delivers enough firepower for defensive use while remaining genuinely concealable—5.42 inches long overall and less than an inch wide.

Sights are drift-adjustable white bar-dot combat style: a pinned polymer front night sight paired with a rear sight designed for rapid target acquisition in low light. The double-action trigger breaks cleanly from shot to shot, with no manual safety to disengage under stress. For shooters who prefer hammer-fired reliability and consistent trigger press throughout the string, the CM9 delivers.
