New Kahr CW9 owner!

[Otto Skorzeny]

Just picked up my new-to-me (used) Kahr CW9.

Looks pretty good and it has two factory mags, the case and the trigger lock, manuals and everything. Even has the original warranty card.

Can't wait to shoot this and use this as a carry pistol.

147 gr. JHP's I think.

I have had a CW9 for about 6 months and find it to be an excellent CCWeapon. I trust you will find yours to be the same.

I carry Speer Golddot +P in 124 grain. It is a good combination of mass and speed along with good "mushroom" ability.

Forgot to mention...I'd like a recommendation on a belt holster as well.

Thinking of either the Fobus Paddle or one of the ones from Kahrshop.

Fobus are fine for range holsters, but I don't care for them for concealed carry, they don't hold close enough to the body to conceal well for me. I carry my K9 everyday in a FIST #11, and have no problems with it. Several of the holsters on the Kahr website look good too.

[Riz58]

I primarily carry in my briefcase or in a Galco ankle holster because of clothing/job situation.

I do have a Fobus paddle holster for thos times when clothing permits (a jacket, etc) and it works fine in my circumstances.

With all the disreputable jerks I've seen on this website(mostly in the "Glock" forum though) who seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to SELL a pistol when they have major malfunction issues with it, I will NEVER AGAIN purchase a "traded in" pistol that shows a higher than average ratio having issues (i.e. polymer Kahrs, Glock 36).

Good luck with yours, and I hope the person who traded it in did so because they couldn't handle the recoil, and NOT because they couldn't get it to fire a full mag without malfunctioning.

The cheaper IWB from Galco (I believe it's the WASTBAND) is a great fit, reasonable price and more than adequate for a CW9.

Just a quick update. I was at the range yesterday with the CW9. No problems with it. I used a few different types of ammo. Should make a nice carry gun.

[ric0123]

I just bought a New one at a show. Ran 100 rounds throught it. Had 3 different jam issues. The book says "Don't expect reliability until after 200 rounds"

The trigger takes some getting used to after my glock. Its not bad, just different. Mag spring is TIGHT, I had a fun time getting 7 in it... caused one of my jams. The other ones were the bullet not entering the chamber... not angled enough. Spank the bottom of the mag and it fed. Suppose I just need to shoot it more.

I've had no problems at all with my CW9. I think its a great gun for the price. Just curious, how much is a used CW9 going for if you don't mind me asking? I got mine new for $380, and now my dad is looking for one.

Mine was $370 used with all the accessories and an extra factory mag. One of the 8 rounders with the finger extensions.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get a new one for $380? most new prices i have seen have been around $500.

What's your round count, all still well ?
Aug 1 is my decision cutoff, my mk works fine, not sure about poly

I'd probably say 500 or so rounds. Still not a problem and I use 147 gr. WWB JHP ammo for when I carry.
