40 yrs as an LEO - first 20 yrs I carried a S&W, second 20 I carried a Glock. Glock is my preferred brand pistol as we put them through all kinds of wear and tear - got them wet (marine patrol) and they always worked. I was also a Glock trained armorer so I know the pistol inside and out. My life depended on my Glock and I always knew I could rely on it. I carried a Glock 38 (45GAP) off duty but when I retired I wanted something that I could conceal in a pocket holster or ISW holster comfortably. I had a Ruger LCP but I don't like the 380. My minimum caliber that I would feel comfortable with is the 9mm (still prefer the 45GAP though!). I did a lot of research and I ended up buying a Kahr CM9. It's 9mm, single stack, internal safety, some people call it the gun that Glock should have built. It's as close to a Glock without being a Glock that you'll find. I didn't like the stainless steel slide with the black lower frame so I had mine Cerakoted in black.
Mine is flawless no matter what type of 9mm I put through it. Everything from reloads to Speer Gold Dot. I carry it in a Recluse pocket holster. It looks like I'm carrying my wallet or a large smart phone in my pocket. The photo shows the extended magazine floorplate. When I'm carrying it I use a magazine without the baseplate extension. Since I bought it my Glock is in the nightstand pistol locker if needed.
