I finally got a chance to shoot my new CM9, and I must say I'm impressed. I shot the requisite 200 rounds for a break in and it was 100% reliable throughout. I even tried my best to cause a limp-wrist malfunction and the gun just wouldn't quit. 0 malfunctions through the 3 different rounds I used.
Accuracy was also very acceptable. At first I noticed I had a problem maintaining POA throughout the trigger pull. I decided to change up my technique and instead of using the pad of my trigger finger, I switched to placing the middle part of my finger over the trigger and accuracy became much more consistent. I may consider getting the Wolff 5# striker spring, but I'm not sure I like the idea of reducing the trigger pull on a carry gun.
The CM9 wasn't unpleasant to shoot, but it was a bit of a chore shooting 200 rounds in one session, especially when it's only 6 rounds at a time. Overall though, considering that the total cost less the break-in ammo was $346, I can hardly complain. It's a lot of gun for the money! It will be even better when my extra mags and HKS speed loader get here.
