Good deal..............and glad to see you realize you have a sd gun there and not a fun shooting range weapon.........although it's not bad to shoot as you said...............nice job !!!
CM9 + 250 Rounds = Range Report
Took a new CM9 to the range today to give it a workout. Had a couple 6 rnd mags, an uPlula, and shooting gloves since I intended to just keep on going until I ran out. I started off with no gloves, just to see what it would feel like with standard pressure ammo, and it actually felt pretty good. Nothing violent going on to beat up my hand, or worse yet, my trigger finger, which is normally the victim of so many pocket size guns. Compared to my recoil reference gun, the rotating barrel, locked breach designed Boberg XR9-S, the CM9 is perhaps just a little worse, and very pleasant to shoot. It was a good start!
I've had problems with one brand of ammo (Rattlesnake 115gr FMJ) from other pistols, so grabbed 100 rounds of that as well. Let's just get busy with some discovery is what I'm thinking. I also had two boxes of PMC 115gr FMJ and one box of Federal Premium HST Tactical 124gr. I left the +p stuff at home. That's for phase two, next week, to see if the CM9 will be happy with the Underwood +P JHP or Remington GS +p. I'm already thinking it will be fine.
So how did everything go, being a brand new gun and all? Out of the 250 rounds with slow fire, double taps, triple taps and rapid fire it was nearly perfect! I had one FTF with the Federal HST. A slight pull on the slide fixed it and the rest of the session was perfect. I guess we'll call this session the 'break-in period.' The groups were a bit high and left, but I wasn't really 'target' shooting. I'll worry about that at some other time, plus this isn't a target pistol. I was able to make consistent slow fire head shots at the ranges max distance (of which I need to find out how far that is).
All in all good day and happy with the results. Well, everything except the cost of ammo! :sad: :lemo:

You make a lot of sense smokemup...........,in a real heat of the moment self defense situation, no one is going to have the time or presence to get into a shooting stance and grip the gun properly per say.........take careful aim and shoot..........it's gonna be grab the damn gun as quick as you can, clear leather and if necessary pull trigger pointing the gun at the scumbag ( hopefully in the middle of his chest / stomach ) and let rip ............. All the fancy stuff goes out the window..........instinct and reflexes take over.....and hope god is on your side........
Mr rat could weigh in here I'm sure with his experiences........
Have you found that most guns cycle better, generally speaking with +p loads due to the extra oomph, causing the slide to have more snap in its travel..........just a curious question ?off handed and +P no prob.
Nooooooooooo don't do it john.............it's just not normal........no it's not......!!
Ahhhhh.........there's only one person to my knowledge around here that wears a speedo while on the forum..........and that's quite enough..........
