    Default New Member and New Kahr Owner... Well... Almost

    Hello all!

    This is my first post to this forum. I have been CCing for a few years now and have always admired Kahr's polimer line. Though, I always thought that they were out of my price range... Last month I was walking through a local Gun Shop here in Houston, TX and saw the Kahr CW9 and CW40. Price: 379.99!! I couldn't believe it, I paid $330 for my LCP and I could of bought a Kahr for $50 more?? I was both pissed and excited. Pissed because I knew that I would be selling my LCP and probably taking a huge loss on it and excited because I realized I could afford a Kahr. So I went home and did a ton of research... then went to a local range that had the CW9 for rental. I LOVED the way the gun felt in hand and the way it shot. I was sold!

    I sold my 250 round old OD Green LCP this past weekend (got 225 for it with an extra mag and a galco IWB holster and a box of Gold Dots... yeah I know I may have gotten ripped but i sold it to a good buddy of mine). I'm going to the gun store today as soon as I get off work to pick up the CW9. My Comp-Tac Minotaur for it came in yesterday (most comfotable holster I've ever worn).

    I am planning to go to the range for the 200 round break in tomorrow. I will update this thread with my results (and some pictures if possible).

    The one thing that I don't like about the gun at first glance is the magazine plate. I looks cheap to me. Anyone else share this opinion? Any way to fix this? I heard someone on YouTube talking about replacing the plate with a PM 9MM plate??

    Will update soon,

    -BMC

    first of all buy the damn gun, then go to the kahr tech section and hit on two sticky's that will assure your cw9 of a sucessful first outting.

    Kahr lube chart


    Propper prepping of your new kahr

    follow both and you will have zero anything.

    address the floor palte thing kwhen the gun is perfect, who knows u might bet used to it. It gives no issues either.
    . My PM9 has over 40,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

    Welcome to Kahrtalk!

    Did you pocket carry your LCP? Do you plan on pocket carrying your new Kahr? If pocket carry is in your plans then, in my opinion, you want to check out a CM9 before laying your money down. If IWB or OWB then forget what I just wrote.

    Best of luck with whatever your choice.

    Yeah, a buddy let me feel his CW9 before I was able to find one. Sometimes when you hold something you just know you have to own it.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Don't worry about the plate. They're tougher than they might look.

    I carried the LCP IWB with a Galco "tuc" holster. I have already purchased a Comp-Tac Minotaur IWB holster for the CW. Fits like a glove and very comfortable, as expected. Thanks for the welcome!
