How does the grip angle of a Kahr PM9/CM9 compare to a G19?
I haven't handled a Kahr, but it's on my "to do" list. A Glock fits my hand like a glove. |

Considering those are micros you might not even notice a difference.
BUT The grip angle is less. IF your used to shooting a glock handgun and you grab a kahr real quick you will be shooting low. You will have to raise the front sight up into the rear sight notch. The grip angle has been compared to a 1911 style. Its much smaller feels good to me very comfortable. The mag release is a little hard to get to sometimes. But i'm used to running a extended mag release on our Glocks. The 45 models actually feel better. They don't have flat sides but rounded sides almost oval shaped grip. But alas I had to sell my TP9 due to me being used to a Glock trigger. I couldn't get good groups with it and didn't feel like trying in the end. Right now I'm trying to find a Single stack 9mm smallish almost pocket gun that has a glock like trigger or atleast single actionish. Chris |

Think more like Glock 26, but a LOT thinner.
I can't access my Photobucket account from work, but I have side-by-side pics of my PM9 and G26. I'll post when I get home way later tonight. The lower part of the G19/23 grip pushes into the fleshy part of the bottom of my hand, which forces the barrel up from POA for me. Since there's no such part of the G26 grip doing that, the G26 points much more naturally for me –– and the PM9 points much the same way. As alluded to above, though, the triggers are way different.... ETA pic –– you can sort of see the similarities/differences in the grip angle:

I had one of the earlier ones that actually came with two magazines, it was sweet. I sold it to finance another project and have regretted it ever since. |
