I am new to Kahr firearms and this community. As I have spent a few days browsing and reading the "proper prep" thread I think I have learned a lot. Did the minor mod on two magazines for the slide release catching the follower.

My gun is a Kahr CW9 and so far I love it. I sold my Ruger LC9 to get it. So far I think it will prove to be a good decision.

Anyway I hope to learn a lot from all of you.

Welcome to the forum! here's a lot of info and links. Watch the Take down video!

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.
Frequently asked questions: http://www.kahr.com/faq.asp?

There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!

I was considering an LC9 as well but am glad I went with the CW9.

Welcome aboard. My daughter and her sub officer husband are stationed in Norfolk. Went to Bob's over Christmas, and you almost had to take a number to get in. Great place.

Bob's is a great shop. They pretty much have everything you could want in one place. I'm Ex-Navy myself.
