I've been carrying a kahr cw.45 every day for the past four years and it has been a pleasure. It's also the same size as the 9mm.
Just purchased this gun today for $299 feels great and will be the new CCW
Kahr makes good stuff!!
I personally love single stacks. They're so much more comfortable when wearing to conceal. The width of that grip really makes a difference IMO. Kahr has made some good quality, slim little carry guns for sure. Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing.
My LCP max is smaller in every dimension and holds 12+1, but it's a .380 😔
@@BuckeyeBallistics Yeah, I love my LCPs man. (I have 2 of the original LCP1's, 2nd gen) I got them bc they're some of the smallest, most concealable semi's available. It's exactly what I expect a true pocket pistol to be. The LCP1's grip is SO short & thin, it's almost not enough 🤣 I freakin love it.
I carry an extnd 10rd mag in my other pocket, so 16+1 of 380... I can deal with that. If it's winter time & I need more, I'll carry a 9.
Summers here in SC get so freakin humid & hot, something easy like an LCP is a big plus.
Some single stacks are severely underated. "Tactical operators" are so quick to crap on them bc they're not the latest & greatest but prices on single stack guns are staying low. With guys trying to sell theirs so they can afford to upgrade to doubles, that's where I step in.
One man's trash... 👍
You aren't wrong. Everytime I try to sell/trade a single stack, it's way harder to move it than a double stack- or I take a loss on them.
@@BuckeyeBallistics The new 1.5 stack guns are a lot more comfy to conceal than the older doubles, and for me they fit the hand better than a single. That said, I like singles too.
I used to live about an hour from the kahr factory and went there for their open carry picnic every year. I've owned a few of them and like them, but they really need to get on the ball and come out with a 1.5 stack magazine pistol.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. If they made this CW9 a little wider to hold a staggered/double stack mag with say 10-12rds, it'd be a great modern carry gun...
@@BuckeyeBallistics It sure would. It would essentially be a glock alternative for people who like a DAO trigger on their carry gun. Like me.
They could easily just make a lower grip module that will fit a Shield Arms Glock 43X magazine and save themselves the cost of engineering their own.
True, but they should also get on the ball with their long repair times. It took 6 weeks for them to repair a CW9. I paid 5 days ago for the repair and they still haven't shipped it out yet!
@@MR.MAP007 Ruger just sent me an entire new upper for my LCP max for free because I wore the finish out.
Do better Kahr.
Do I have news for you
I had one a while back, sold it to a friend and was fortunate to pick another one up like new in the box for a heck of a price. The trigger is mushy and a bit heavy but manageable. One either loves or hates them but Kahr’s rock 🤙
I own two CW9s (plus the P380 and the P40). It is an awesome little pistol
Back in the mid to late 90s I picked up a K9 which is the steel frame version for my wife. Short story is she needed a no safety auto back then. I just refused to have a "plastic" gun back then. She liked the S&W 60 357mag magnaport but it was very loud & still sharp recoil with 357. So I decided a DA only auto was the ticket. We both carried this but it was primarily for her. Just traded it for a shotgun a couple years ago. Only complaint was it was finicky with reloads. DA is super sweet & slick in Kahr.
Good to see you again. I'll get back to the gel tests when it cools down enough so it doesn't melt in the heat...
@@BuckeyeBallistics No doubt. It is quite nice up here in the Northwoods/Great Lakes region. But it is still quite warm & lacking much needed rain.
I just got the CW9 today. I owned one years ago but finally got another one. Great firearm for the price.
i owned one and sold it since i had the cm8. just bought another cw 9. karhs are great guns with a nice trigger.
Got two CW9 and one K9 early version. Been carrying one of the CW9s for years upon years but now carry a Springfield Hello Kitty or GeeLock 48 with Shield Arms 15 rounders most of the time. Still carry a CW9 w/ 2 extra mags in a Kydex rig in my daily carry bag as back-up. Great guns for the money and occasionally I will carry one of them as a primary firearm.
The PM9 is the smallest polymer 9mm Kahr makes, larger than the CW380/P380 but smaller than the CW9. They do have nice triggers.
Ahh, that's the one. Thank you...
seems like a nice Kahr ..
Absolutely love my CW9. I did add Talon granite grips and the 2 dot rear sight.
I purchased a CW9 as a EDC weapon. I know my way around pistols as I have owned 10 and I used several for pistol competition. the first thing I notice was that the site picture was off and if I aimed as any other pistol it hit 6 inches low.
I found that I needed to hold the front site above the rear instead of in the V. Using that unorthodox site picture, at 21', I fired 60 rounds with 4 in the 9 ring and 56 in the 10 and X ring. My concern was that in a self-defenses emergency It would take to long to think about how I needed to site the weapon. I had a Range Master at FT3 Tactical test my gun with the same low hit results. I sent my CW9 back to the factory and after it's return went back to the range. Unfortunately the site picture was not corrected. This time I had 3 Range Masters all try my gun with the same, low hit, results. I was finally able to cure my EDC site worries, I bought a S&W Shield Plus.
One interaction with Kahn’s cs caused me to sell my P9 and I will not seriously consider them again.
Too many other choices that have a decent cs department.
I understand the feeling- CCI for me...
Some nice rapid-firing.
Thanks but I'm much better with SA
love it brother!!!!
It looks like if you are transitioning from a revolver the trigger would be very familiar to you.
It's a keeper. +p also.
I've owned 2 Kahr pistols and I didn't have luck with either. My CW380 wouldn't go into battery after shots and my CW40 wouldn't chamber rounds.
I've owned exactly two as well, this one and the CW380. Only had minor issues with the CW380, but they are known to be picky. A couple feed issues in the review video, but was due to weak practice ammo not cycling the slide fully.
I have a freind wanting to sell me this exact Kahr 9mm hardly used for $250 is that a good price
Yes, they are $350-$400 new.
It's not a double-action-only. It's striker fired.
It's a DA striker dude, there are both DA and SA strikers...
@@BuckeyeBallistics Kahr markets it - today - as double action but originally they sold it as _feeling like a double action only_ pistol. It's actually a pre-set striker - same class as all Glock and S&W MP pistols (among others). There's really nothing double action about it or the others I mentioned. The marketing is inaccurate and therefore lame.
@Ni999 - Well Canik does (roughly?) the same thing- I reviewed their striker fired TP9 DA/SA last year. They offer the TP9 in a "SA" only model with a light Crisp "SA" only trigger pull, then also a "DA/SA" model, where it allows you to carry chambered on a heavy long "DA" trigger for the first shot. I'm not sure about the mechanics of it, or of the KAHR either for that matter. But I'm not on here to debate semantics or mechanical inner workings...
But the point is, when the manufacturer states it has a double action trigger, regardless of the technical analysis or actual mechanical inner workings, I know they mean a heavy long trigger pull which is what a double action trigger is to me (and to most consumers considering they are marketing it in such a way). I could care less how it actually works- it's still a long heavy DA trigger pull, even if it is a faux or simulated DA.
This point of view is similar to all the comments I get when I say a particular box of .380 ammo is +p because the seller says it is, manufacturer says it is, the label on the box says it is- then everyone has to come on barking "there's no such thing as +p .380!!!" (because SAAMI says so). This here is the same thing, and I *love* being corrected over stating what the manufacturer says... As you said though, it's their marketing, not mine.
@@BuckeyeBallistics You really don't seem to love being corrected over repeating marketing claims at all - or even discussing it. That's your business, you do you. I wrongly assumed from your channel name that you might care how things worked - my mistake. I won't repeat it.
Old MGTOW - there are striker fired guns that can be called double action. The Kahr is not one of them even though they market it that way.
K9 is a dangerous unreliable POS. Extractor exploded off the side of my new one on round 21 of new pmc bronze. Severely injuring my right hand 5 weeks at factory to fix. Taken to several gun show and couldnt sell at any price. Delaers had many kahrs they couldnt sell. Now it is a paperweight in my workshop, scared to shoot it
Just carry extra mags with you!
Why do these amateurs insist on making bad videos 😂
