I have owned 4 lcp's and bought the Kahr, much easier to shoot, so much more mild than the LCP's, Great trigger. My favorite single stack nine is the LC9S, shoot it frequently and have for years. Both the original and the LC9S. Just love the gun. That said, I really want a CM9. I shot one recently owned by a range buddy, and it was extremely nice shooter. I also like the size and dimensions for CCW.
