I've been reading through a lot of the board here. Good talk for sure. Picked up a CW45 last week - cleaned it up per the instructions - but haven't gotten to the range to try it out yet. I was really trying to choose between a Bersa BP9cc and a CW9. I have a Bersa Thunder .380 and have had zero issues so figured a BP9cc would give similar results. Problem is that it's hard to find any around the area I live to get my hands on to see how it feels in my hand, but there are a few places that have Kahr's in stock. I'm kind of wondering if I should have stayed with my original thought and went with the CW9 - the CW 45 in the Desantis IWB holster I use I chose is larger than I pictured at the store. My normal carry is a S&W 38 lightweight revolver in a soft holster and it just feels so much smoother and hides so well. I carry the Bersa now and then in a holster similar to the Desantis, so maybe I just need to find the right placement of the holster and get used to the slightly larger size and break the holster in some. I won't carry the CW45 until I have a few hundred rounds through it to be sure that I can rely on it.
My assigned personal weapon in the Army was a 1911 .45 (I was a tank gunner) and I loved to shoot it - and had a shoulder holster, but that would never work for me to carry in warm Florida.

You hang out with that CW45 for a spell and you'll grow to love it. It's a great gun and a favorite of many members here.

I have a PM45 but still have a hankering for the CW now and then. I still habitually have a 1911 on my hip, the PM rides on my ankle.

I hear short pants are pretty popular in Florida so the ankle rig wouldn't work for you. Right about now long handle underwear is in order in the frozen Pacific Northwest. How cold was it you say, it was damn cold.

Welcome board, glad you found us.
