Kahr Arms

Hi, been thinking about purchasing a Kahr CW series in a 9 or .40. Don't know a lot about them, but have heard pretty good things. Don't want to spend the money on the PM series, don't need the fancy extras. Just wanted know what other people think about them, good or bad. Thanks.

Try the CM9, it is a less expensive version of the PM9

Rent them at a range that allows that. Or, sometimes when you go to a range, someone there has something you are interested in, and will allow you to shoot a couple of rounds with it- rather than gamble on a purchase. That's how I decided on my Kahr. I didn't like the .40 cal- too "snappy". I liked the 9mm, though, and I bought the .45. Get a slip-on grip cover for the range, though. They have aggressive checkering on the grip.

I carry my CW9 everyday for deep concealment. I love it. It is the perfect size and weight for concealed carry. It shoots great and is the perfect size for my bear hands. My only gripe is that the grip is pretty rough so I use a hogue like grip for it, aka a bicycle tube :)

I know someone who works at Kahr. As noted....great guns. You won't have any issues with Kahr.

I hear a lot of great things about Kahrs. I tried 2 of them, and they were both jam-a-matics, now I spend a lot of time with Glocks. I like a gun that goes BANG all of the time.

I just bought a new cm9. I have a glock 22 and always wanted a single stack 9mm from glock for concealing.

Let's just say I am not too impressed with it so far. The gun itself is great in size and weight and the recoil is very little. However, after putting about 120 rounds through it last night it probably had 15 jams where the slide locked back and would not release unless I bumped the rear of the slide with my palm. Very frustrating and not what I like to see in a personal defense weapon. Kahr recommends at least a 250 round break in before returning the gun for warranty work.

I plan to continue with the break in in the next week and will post more info as I get it.
