I also carry a Kahr CM9
I can easily pocket carry my Kahr CM9 in a pocket holster. Empty it weighs in at 14 ounces. 6 rounds in the flush fitting Mags and 7 rounds in the slightly extended extras I carry in my back pocket. It has a very smooth double action only trigger and is surprisingly easy shooting for something so light. It has been utterly reliable without a single hiccup so far. Light enough that it doesn't try to pull my pants down and fits easily in my front pocket of my Cabelas blue jeans.
Despite some peoples comments, there are times when pocket carry is all that is available, so it is either pocket carry or don't carry. Also, with wrap around bucket seats in my truck, belt holsters just don't work well if I'm driving, and shoulder holsters only work if I can keep a jacket or vest on at all times. I find that from my normal relaxed position of my thumbs hooked into my jeans pockets, I can easily and quickly grasp and draw the CM9 from its' pocket holster almost as fast as I can draw from a belt holster. Sure, I'd rather be carrying my M1A and 8 extra 20 round mags, but I don't feel too badly armed with the CM9 and 2 spare mags for a total of 21 rounds of +P 9mm comfort......
