Kahr = my single stack Glock?

[2500ekW]

Which Kahrs would you guys say most closely resemble a Glock 17, 19, and 26 in size if I was going to switch to single stack carry?

I like the CW9

I have the KAHR CW9 and love it, and i am a big Glock fan.

TP9 is the "large frame" and would be like a single-stack G19. The P9/CW9 is smaller than a 19 but bigger than a 26, and the PM9/CM9 is smaller than a 26.

Hey look...somebody actually answered the darn question. What a shocker....

For the record, I carry a TP45. I like the TP9 or T9, but I would rather have 7+1 in 45 than 9+1 in 9 MM.

The CW9 is a edc gun I really like alot.

I carry a PM9 when I can't conceal my 1911.
I am lovin' me some OM9.
However, I still fondle the CW9's and the P9's in the gun stores.
I can see owning more than one Kahr someday.
They are just awesome guns

TP9=G17, P9-CW9=G19 and PM9-CM9=G26! NOTE: These are polymer framed Kahrs.

TP9=G17, P9-CW9=G19 and PM9-CM9=G26! NOTE: These are polymer framed Kahrs.

The T9/TP9 is 6.5" long and 5" high, while the G17 is 8" long and 5.4" high. The K9/P9/CW9 is 6" X 4.5" while the G19 is 7.36" X 5.04". Finally, the MK9/PM9/CM9 is 5.4" X 4" while the G26 6.5" X 4.2".

The largest Kahr in any caliber will be about the same size as a G19 and the smallest Kahr will be smaller than G26. And once you factor in thickness, the difference is even more substantial.

Note: current EDC is a TP45. Current back-up is a CM9. Previously carried a G26 (2004 to 2009) and a G19 (2009 to 2011). Desperately want to get a T9...seriously those wood grips are just yummy and the steel frame will tame recoil quite nicely.

Great post with lots of good information! Thanks!

CW9 all the way! Pick up a few different Kahr's and see what feels best to you.

I know the Glocks are much larger than the Kahrs. I think the OP is looking at what is comparable in a single stack Kahr to said Glocks. What I posted was meant to compare a full size Kahr to a full size Glock, compact Kahr to a compact Glock and a sub-compact Kahr to a sub-compact Glock.

That said, I own both Kahrs and Glocks. The Kahrs get carried while the Glocks pretty much stay in the safe.

Jeff at Ace hardware summed up the cw9 better than anyone I have ever heard. "It's the first semi auto kit gun. Do you know what I mean?"..Yes I do. You won't be dissapointed.
