Subject: Waiting on the BP9CC! Sat Feb 12, 2011 12:10 am
This is the one I'm waiting for. I really want a nice concealable, reliable 9mm for regular carry. I have a Glock 26 but lets face it - it's a brick. Capacity is great, and works fine when you can wear a jacket. But for summer I'll need something thinner.
For me it will be between this and the Kahr CM9 (their newly announced lower-priced version of the PM9).
Anyone else anxiously awaiting this gun?

i think it's ugly as sin to be honest. lol hope i won't banned. Kahr's a nice. Interesting tidbit- the owner of Kahr, his father started the Christian Unification Church in South Korea, it's like a cult lol

I won't hold that against him. I just want to buy his guns, not subscribe to his newsletter!

JC57:
You probably have a pic of the BP9CC squirreled away somewhere. If you've not already done so, I'd urge you to compare it to a pic of the Taurus PT709 Slim. I bought a Slim shortly after they came on the market - about 18 months ago - and I have over 700 rounds through it with no problems at all. They're now into a second generation and I understand they've improved the extractor, which was the biggest complaint among those who had complaints. Of course, you may be one of those who refuses to even consider Taurus and that's cool, too. Carry on.

Nope, I have nothing against Taurus per se. I don't have any personal experience with their guns. I remember them from the 80s when they were essentially S&W revolver clones, but I've never fired one myself.
I definitely have seen the pics of the BP9CC. From the dimensions they look to be about the size of a Kahr CW9. I've shot one of those as a range rental, and noted that after a box of ammo my hand was kind of sore, so I know that a 9mm out of a thin grip isn't going to be a joy to shoot.
What I'm really looking for is a good pocketable 9mm. I bet the BP9CC will be a bit too big for that, but I'd still like to give it a good looking over once they're in stores.

If the BP9CC is close in size to the Slim - and I'm betting it is - I can pocket carry in slacks with an Uncle Mike's holster. In jeans, not so much. However, I recently bought a Kangaroo Carry which is a simplified shoulder holster and it does the job very well. Would probably fit the Kahr, too.
