Anyone carry a Kahr CW9?

Does anyone carry a Kahr CW9 and how do you carry it?

Right now I carry a full-size 9mm on the hip IWB and it's not working out so well. Driving is a problem and the discreet unholstering of the gun in the car before going into some "no carry" zone. Besides, I'm not a big guy and the gun wasn't designed for concealed carry.

What interests me about the Kahr is its size - big enough to handle, small enough to conceal, its reputation for quality/reliability, and its price. I am considering pocket, hip and shoulder holsters. Anyone with experience and/or advise?
Thanks,

I don't have a CW9 but I do have a E9, PM9, PM40 and a PM45. I've carried them all but now I just carry the PM45. I make my own Kydex holsters and I like an IWB tuckable design. Just like everything else, to each his own. Try different holsters until you find one that fits you and is comfortable.

Red Hat,
impressive collection! Is the .45 tough on your hands?

It's not bad at all. I enjoy shooting it.

I carry my CW9 as a backup quite often and as a primary piece in extremely hot weather. My preferred method is in a Galco ankle rig. I also have a Mernickle OWB holster that conceals it quite well. For a quick trip to the store, I have a Galco clip on IWB holster. For motorcycling, either a 5.11 holster shirt or a Roma vest for CCW. All of these solutions work great.

Note: I only use the ankle holster when carrying the CW9 as a BUG.

I have a CW9 and when I OWB carry I use a Don Hume 721OT and it fits it like a dream. I wear it at about 3:30 and it stays nice and snug up against me. I also pocket carry it in an Uncle Mikes #4 in my front jeans pocket. It is at the outer limits of what I consider pocket carry....but it works out pretty darn well. If I can fool my wife, it's truly concealed.

New here to USAC, I CC a CW9, actually 2. IWB in a custom Leather with Crimson trace, OWB in a Galco leather. Love them both. Actively shoot IDPA matches with CW9, impresses many with easy conceal-ability and awesome accuracy.

I carry a CW9 as one of my carry pieces. I bought it off of recommendation of two LEO friends. It is a very concealable weapon. I carry mine either in my ankle holster or in a leather slide holster at about 3:30. Both work great. I carry a spare loaded mag in my pocket when I have room for it.

I think the CW is a great weapon for the price. They now also offer Trijicon sights for it through the Kahr web site for $80. I will be putting a set of those on mine. It replaces the polymer front site with a metal one.
