About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

KAHR PM9/ CM9
By rojackjr on 03 Jul 2020
Excellent pistol; trigger emulates revolver double action (not Glock) that, with practice (as with revolver DA) is predictable and as "smooth as butter". Good capacity with robust aftermarket accessories. Comfortable to shoot. Highly recommend these pistols!

Top of the Line in this class of Micro 9mm's

Excellent quality, beautiful gun. Surprisingly Mild and soft shooting for it's size. Capable of very high volume shooting. Notorious smooth Striker Fired DAO that is controlled, and deliberate, ideal for this size firearm. One of the smallest in class but handles better than larger guns.

Horrible trigger, not +1 capacity

Model PM9093, Massachucettes compliant with LCI and external safety. Extremely long trigger pull. It pulls me off POA before it breaks. Finicky with ammo, preferring hot loads without a large hollowpoint cavity. Manufactures literature claims +1 capacity, but manufacturer states do not insert a full magazine with the slide closed or damage to the magazine will occur.
