Shot my new Kahr CW9 for first time. - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Well I bought a Kahr CW9 to carry because my XD9 service is too heavy for me. So it took it out for it's 200 round break in that Kahr recommends. I put 190 WWB, 20 Blazer Brass and 20 Hydra Shock through it. Perfect performance. No failures at all. I have read a few bad reviews about this gun but I have read some really good ones too. It carries very nice using a Desantis Dual duty holster with the thumb strap cut off. The gun shoots real nice. It is very light compared to my XD9 so of course there was a bit more kick, but totally controllable. I shot a couple mags through my XD too to get a side by side comparison. The XD was easier to reacquire the target due to the heavier weight bringing it back down. It is an accurate shooter too. At 10-20 feet it went where I aimed. My only complaint was having to load a 7 rd and two 8 rd mags over and over to get through my break in period. Ouch. Over all, I really like this gun and would recommend it to any one looking for something smaller and lighter than the XD line. Do not get me wrong, I love my XD. I will carry it sometimes. But this will be my primary carry gun.

Thanks for the write-up! Glad you like your gun! I think I'm going to buy my wife a Kahr PM9 here in a few days when the tax money comes in. Already told her I'm gonna do it.

I carry a small Kahr during the hot summer days. My mother has a PM9 that she carries 24/7. Qualified top of her CCW class with that little beauty

The CW line from Kahr is a good shooter for the price, I have the CW 40, and like the Heine straight 8 sights. It's slim profile allows for a varied way to CC.

Every tool has it's purpose and this is a good tool.
