For reasons that escape me, I sold the first CW9 I bought. I probably thought I liked the Shield better and didn't need it, but I have since been enlightened.

Picked up my new CW9 today and cleaned it inside and out, put an inner tube on the grip, and it's ready to try out. Hopefully tomorrow.

I have three 7-round mags including the one that came with it, but only 1 steel base plate which is currently on my CM9 magazine. I really want more steel base plates. Kahr's website shows some black painted decorated base plates, about $14 each, and one with an American flag engraved for about double that amount. What's the prognosis on getting the plain unpainted metal base plates?

Oh, and I'm trying to go online for the February rebate but the website keeps saying "Store is currently unavailable, please try again in a few minutes."
