USP9, thanks for the post you made my day. Its great to see this segment of the market heating up. I have a Kahr CW9 that I love. I believe it will soon have a little CM9 to keep it company. The Kimber and the Sig 290 look really good. But to me the CM9 which is based on the PM9 is a proven entity. No beta testing for me.
mgmorden, I have a Kel Tec P3at which I find a bear to shoot because of the grip length. I shot a friends PM9 with the small mag in place, and was surprised at how controllable and accurate it was. For me it sealed the deal excepting the price. The new CM9 should solve that.
