You're looking at $17.60 per magazine. Yikes.

For what it's worth, I purchased the unpainted baseplate and used the stock plastic retainer plate. Thought it fit more secure than the metal one. The CW9 now has the stainless slide, black polymer frame, metal baseplate and black pin from the retainer plate. Metal, black, metal, black. I think it looks good.

Yikes is right! So far, the plastic base plates haven't bothered me, but I might get at least one metal set. I've used the floppy plastic retainer plate and it seems ok, but I'd rather have metal.

Ok, I figured out that I have to register with the Kahr shop to see the coupon code, so I did that and now I can use the rebate toward the base plates. Woo hoo!

[JohnR]

My steel base plates arrived (thank you to Ed M for the link!). After installing them I did a little dry firing, and the trigger had become creaky!

It’s more in reset than takeup, but it’s a sound like a spring being compressed and released.

My first CW9 had this from the start, but this one was smooth and silent for its first few hundred rounds, like all other Kahr triggers. Now it’s creaky.

Needs a little oil or maybe a deburr on the trigger bar probably .

[JohnR]

Probably a burr, since oiling it didn’t belp. Strange thing.
