Howdy Coadman,
Your question has been asked a few times and is a good one. Kahr actually recommends 200 rounds for break in.
it may or may not need that. The deal is if it's balky (and it most likely won't be) they want you to shoot it enough to make sure it's had a chance to work itself out (or not).
Personally I think all guns require a break in. Kahr is just one of the few that is open and up front with it. Many of course believe that they paid all this money for a gun and it should work perfectly right out of the box. Most actually do, but some don't.
There are guns that cost 1000's of dollars that recommend and need a break in.
I also don't have faith in a gun until I've put a lot more than 200 through it with zero issues.
We've heard of very few issues with the CW 9 and I seriously doubt you'll have any issues.
Welcome, glad you found us.
