There doesnt seem to be much available for the CW9 specifically for concealed carry. I prefer OWB.
but...
The P9 appears to be the same pistol in size and spec. as the CW9. So my question is, will a holster that fits the P9, work the same for the CW9???
Thanks for the help
My understanding is yes, "same enough" size, with minimal differences in the slide.
But if you prefer OWB, check out Comp-Tac, they have holsters for CW9:
Paddle Holster - Comp-Tac (http://www.comp-tac.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=53&osCsid=c88d983509da9d7634441efbbac3cd36)
I got the paddle holster, in FBI cant. Works and feels great, even while driving in a car. I also got a mag holder as well. I like the paddle kydex OWBs, as I can easily remove the holster/gun and store in the glove box when I have to enter restricted places.

Also might want to look into High Noon Holsters. They're well made, customer service is good, and relatively inexpensive as compared to other makers.

+1 on the comp-tac.
Excellent customer service & a well made holster.
By the way, I'm an old leather holster guy but I've come to like kydek a lot...if some little edge against your body is bugging you, a little heat, bend it and its good.
I have a Comp-Tac CTAC that was made for the CW9, but fits my P9 just fine. I would guess that any holster made for the P9 will fit the CW9 just fine.
On the other hand, I found that my new-to-me K9 is definitely slimmer than my P9. The K9 is loose in the P9 holster.

Hey TMann,
Just in case you were wondering, the dust shield on the frame of the Polymer P9 Kahr is indeed slightly wider than the dust shield on the frame of the Steel K9 Kahr. My K9 rides and carries just as easy as my P9.

I can help you with a custom rig for the CW9....shoot me an email or PM with your number and I will call you to discuss the details.
take care.....there IS a solution! :wavey:
UBG Holsters (http://ubgholsters.com/) lists Kahr (except T & PT) in their gun list.
Tucker Gunleather (http://rlcompanyusa.stores.yahoo.net/) also lists all models of Kahr in their gun list.

I bought Galco cowhide pocket, UDC IWB, and Cop-three-slot belt-mounted OWB holsters, and all work fine for both my K9 and PM9 - I understand that Kydex is not so forgiving, though the main difference between the two is length.
I carry a PM9 and a CW9 in the same Galco, but not at the same time.:tongueout:It's a Stinger P/N E719WC. I have it on an 1 1/4 inch belt, but would recommend a 1 1/2".
If someone wants a great deal on a slightly used HighNoon holsters Down Under iWB let me know.

The Kahr website has some pretty nice holsters at decent prices. I ordered the Don Hume IWB for my CW9. It's actually stamped K9 on the back, but fits the CW9 perfectly. I am very pleased with it. They don't have a big selection, but do have several styles.

I use DeSantis Top Cop for my CW9. Its a paddle that is very comfortable.

I have a 16.95 Fobus C21-B paddle holster that is for the 1911 and my Kahr CW9 fits like a glove. It is very tight to the body and makes concealment with a shirt or jacket easy. I carry mine just behind my hip and frequently forget I am armed because it is so unintrusive.
