Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
Which of these two do you consider easier to conceal and more reliable?

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
I don't own either one but I've had both in a strongside IWB for comparisons sake and the Kahr is noticeably slimmer. That said, the Glock totes more rounds and they're known for reliability.
That probably didnt help you too much.

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
I went through this exact decision. Can't beat Glock 9mm for reliability and simplicity. BUT I went for the CM9 as it is so easy to conceal IWB and can be used in a pocket much better for me than the G26.
I have put a couple hundred rounds of cci aluminum cased 115 through the CM9 with 0 malfunctions. even during the break in period. Very accurate for a small gun.
I have a garrett silent thunder IWB holster that is so easy to take on and off. That was the best part of the CM9, no reason to ever not carry.
BUT - i don't think you can go wrong either way. May come down to just personal preference.

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
I recently bought the g26. I looked at many brands. I choose the glock because of reliability. I have been happy with the accuracy of the pistol and am using an IWB to conceal.

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
Both are reliable Kahr for ME would be what I go with because of Glocks poor grip/grip angle.

Glock 26. Can not go wrong with a Glock.
It is all personal preference. Which firearm feels better in your hand?

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
It depends on what you are looking for. If you want extreme concealability than look no further than the Kahr. If you want something that holds a lot of rounds and is extremely reliable get the Glock. I was going to get a Glock 27 instead of a Glock 23 but I didn't like how it felt in my hand. It was too bulky for a smaller gun and the 23 fit perfect. I own a Glock 23 and a Kahr PM9. Nothing conceals like the PM9 and it feels good to have a 9mm gun on me at ALL times. If something was really going down though, I would grab the Glock.

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
IMO these are 2 very different guns. The glock is likely going to be more reliable out of the box. The kahr will probably take 100 rounds or so to get to be trustworthy, but is going to be a lot easier to conceal. The glock is much thicker than the kahr and they dont feel all that similar despite a similar design. In my case, I love the kahr, the glock makes me feel like I'm shooting a brick.

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
I agree that these are two very different guns.
I have a Glock 26 and a Kahr MK9, each has merits.
If your sole criteria is ease of concealment the Kahr wins hands down. However I don't find the G26 difficult to conceal. Kahr recommends a 200 round break-in period. Glock recommends putting your gun in your holster and going about your business
The grips are very different. You owe it to yourself to handle each one and see what feels best.

Re: Glock 26 or Kahr cm9?
The glock is more reliable, the kahr easier to conceal...the glock isn't particularly difficult to conceal, nor is the kahr particularly unreliable.
