    Default My CW-9 Covert

    After getting some ideas from this forum I couldn't help myself. And I couldn't help but to share. I got the cw-9 in the first place because I have a slimmer frame and couldn't conceal any other gun I tried on. I still had some issues with the grip poking out and imprinting through my clothes. With the covert and my tuck holster I can even get away with wearing my "slim fit" clothing and there is no imprinting. Woot!

    This is my first time posting an image, so please let me know if it didn't work. The following shows the gun as it is now, plus the gun next to the old mag, plus the gun with the old mag inserted so you can see how much was cut off.

    Feel free to comment, I feel pretty good about it.

    Did you cut the grip down?

    Apparently, that notch in the rail is supposed to be there...

    I cut the grip down so it would fit the 6 round magazine instead of the 7.

    Very good. You did a nice job.
    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    I used a hacksaw to make the initial cut. About 5 minutes. The polymer is really easy to cut through. Then a rough grit sandpaper for about 5 more minutes to even it out and get the angle corrected. Then a super fine grit sandpaper for another five minutes to smooth it all out. It didn't look all that smooth until I wiped it down with some oil. Then it looked very good. I was surprised that it came out as clean looking as it did.

    It looks good and as long as long as the magazine seats securely, that's great. I've switched from the PM9 to my P40 for EDC. I replaced the "flush-fitting" polymer base with a metal base, then the blackened metal base kit from Kahr. For it, I did have to use an O-ring as the setup pinched! I can get by with just two fingers on the grip where that's all there is!

    Pictured here my P9 with that treatment, along with the PM9:

    I like the looks of the covert. It looks pretty simple to do with a polymer gun. I wish they still made the k40 covert.
