Checked out the PF9 again. I like the size, I like the price.
But it's cheap as hell and the trigger is gritty, no feel, no consistency in the "break." Next.
Kahr CM9... yes please. Love the size, love the look, love the build quality. Very tight when new. I'm sure it'll loosen some (that's what she said). The trigger also feels great. Super smooth with a nice clean break.
It's significantly shorter and slimmer than my Glock 26, which means it'll be ideal for hot summer carry.
Going to a local shop that's open today to inquire about ordering/price. It's $399 from Buds but if I can get it locally I'll avoid the FFL transfer fee and support a local shop... which is very important in NOVA as they are few and far between!
