This video provides first impressions of the Kahr CM9, a lightweight 9mm pocket pistol. The reviewer notes its comfortable feel in hand, smooth operation, and surprisingly good accuracy for its size at approximately 12-13 yards. The trigger is described as a double-action-only type, initially requiring a firm pull but becoming consistent. A minor failure to feed was observed with an extended 8-round magazine, which the reviewer suggests might be more finicky than standard capacity magazines.
