Just picked up a Kahr cw9

[cswan]

I just bought a lightly used cw9 from my LGS. I must say I am impressed so far. I shot 100 rds with no drama whatsoever. Easy to control.
I really like how thin it is. Is is going to carry very comfortably once my crossbreed mini-tuck gets here.

It sounds like you found a great carry gun, Congrats on your CW9!

Just talked about this very gun this morning with a couple of guys at church, one was carrying it and the other was carrying a different model Kahr (PM 9 maybe?). Point is I think I'm in the market for one. Just got a XD .40 sc for carry and they we're both convinced that I'll tire of the bulkiness of it for IWB carry. Who knows?

Thanks for the post, I'll use it as further motivation!

Congrats!!! Nice gun

That was my issue too. I wanted something light and slim or I knew I would and up leaving it at home. I am starting to carry IWB and have found that small weight and demensions differences end up being huge.

You'll like it as a EDC. I carry a cw 45 and forget it's there.

Cw45 will most likely be my next purchase. I've had my eye on the cw9 and cw45 for a while. No issues with your cw45?
Thanks

I got the same gun a week or two ago and just shot it today for the first time and it looks like a keeper. I also ordered a crossbreed mini-tuck about a week ago...I think we are on to something here.

No issues at all. It's been a great shooter.

I just got a CM9 not too long ago. I am very happy with it as well. Congrats, and welcome to the Kahr family

I have the G19 but I still think its kinda big to carry! What do you think the best carry gun is?

I have the G19 but I still think its kinda big to carry! What do you think the best carry gun is?

The G19 is a perfect size carry gun, with the right belt and holster. If you are looking for something smaller, you will need to test a few guns. I've tried a couple and this is what I've found:

Diamondback 9 (DB9) - Wanted a gun I could carry in my pocket and this was the perfect size. The grip was very narrow and I chose to try something else.

Kahr CW9 - The grip was perfect and the slide locked back after expending the last round. However, it was a bit too large for me to carry in my pocked and needed a holster.

I will be trying a few others, but it looks like I may be going back to the DB9, since it fits my need the best.

I have a G19 as well. I think it carries well too. I totally trust my glock.
I am thinking the cw9 will fill the need when I need something just a bit more concealable. Just a little smaller. We'll see.

I always carry my G26. But my wife's hands are smaller, she cannot grip a glock. Her trigger finger doesn't reach any glock trigger. I believe we will be buying a cw9 or cm9 in the next few month or so.

My EDC has been the cw9 for 3 years. No problems ever. Blackhawks size 1 iWB is perfect for all day carry
