Function over form.
I own both a S&W M&P9c & Kahr CM9. The 9c has APEX parts and thumb safety (which I wanted due to the very light APEX trigger).
The 9c is my preferred CCW due to capacity.
However, there are times when I simply can't carry the 9c and that's when the CM9 steps up to bat w/a Covert Carrier for holsterless carry.
Although I don't have anywhere near as many rds through the new CM9 as the 9c, it's been 100% reliable so far w/both 115 & 147gr loads.
Despite the CM9's DAO-like trigger, short grip & short sight radius, I can consistently hit coke cans at 10yds which is much better than I was expecting from such a small pistol.
IMHO the 9c makes the better all-around pistol but the CM9 conceals much easier.
