    Yes...Kahr made Covert's in 9mm and 40S&W but many years ago. They are not just a K9 slide on a MK9 frame, I tested that with my K9 and MK9. The slide is modified to adapt to the MK size frame.

    A few months have passed, I assume you have "unloaded" the CW45. I had similar issues with my CW45: (1) It failed to go into battery as the extractor's claw did not grab onto the brass's rim. My...

    Yeah, me too. I bought magazine extenders so I could get more than 10 in the mag before buying the gun (Glock 27). These stupid laws are passed by stupid people. I guess having 10+1 can do less...
