Can you change the sights on a CW ? Is it like a Glk , pinned in, replaced with a bolt from the bottom? Thank you Might get one and wanted to know.

Yes, The front sights just snap right off...The Trijicon night sight from Kahr goes on using a a screw from the bottom. That's what I have on mine.

Dawson makes theirs to be staked on and supplies the tool to do it.

XS also makes replacement sights for the C series Kahrs, Not exactly sure what method they use to attach.

It takes less than five minutes to replace the CW front sight. I did put a drop of Blue Locktite on the screw. IMHO, there's not really a need for rear night sights.

I installed the trijicon on my cw9 and they were fairly easy to do. The rear sight was a tad on the tight side but I got it on with the sight pusher.

Is there just a trijicon front sight only that I can buy for the cw380?

Kahr only lists the Trijicons as a set for the CW380:

You might give them a call to see if they'll sell the front separately.

Dawson Precision does list a tritium front sight for the CW380 (out of stock at the moment, ship in 2 to 3 weeks):

Hi - I'm a newbie with a Kahr CW9. What is the latest on finding a night sight for only the front sight. I see that Kahr only offers the set. I'm happy with the rear sight (I don';t need the pain of trying to replace it).
If the front sight only is available, what brand/model and where to buy??

Help guys

GB posted the link for Dawson Precision. They offer sets and fronts only.
