    Just purchased a Kahr CW 9

    I've considered the PM40 more than once and passed it up due to the price. Today I went into to shop just to look. I'm looking for an EDC and my husband is waiting to get a G27(might use that one later on once it comes in) But, I was really excited to find this one! Anyone have one and what do you think?
    (I know it's a longer trigger pull, hoping it's better than the Ruger LC9 Boo, not a fan) I did have to go order 2 more mags for nearly $95 after shipping...arf!

      I just bought a CW9 and have over 500 rounds thru it with no issues. Another 1,500 and I may put it on my permit, it's not a Glock though.

        I've been very happy with my CW9...I'm at 1k+ rounds...and much prefer it's thinness to the G26/27.

        It is very accurate and the trigger is easy to manage, but the reset is long. It is best if you think of it as a very flat revolver..it is going to replace my S&W M-642

          I just picked up a new CM9 today, 3 mags, 6, 7 and 8 round. Wanted something that could be slipped in my pocket easily. While not a huge fan of long triggers like this, it is very light and smooth like a DAO revolver that has had some trigger work. I like the CW9, but I found the grip too long, if I want something with a grip I can get all my fingers on my G19 does the job.

            The trigger is definitely better than an LC9. It is light and thin and seemingly reliable. Break in of at least 200 rounds and hope everything goes smooth. My only gripe is the 5 year warranty and it seems, from reviews, they don't pay shipping if something is wrong. Much prefer an M&P then a Glock.

              Only have about 400 rounds through mine and not a single, firearm caused, malfunction. It did misfeed due to not seating the magazine all the way. I like how thin it is. And, I added a Houge "Handall Jr." grip and it is very comfortable.

                I have one as my EDC. Love it. Slim and doesnt print easily. Easy to get a master grip on and Ive never had a jam with it; even with crapy ammo. I have approximately 600 rounds down the pipe on mine. The trigger takes some getting used to, but it is a lot better than the Rugers. My wife has one as an EDC as well and she likes it.

                  any issues with winchester white box? I've seen a few youtube videos stating the white box causes FTF. I was able to get some in bulk today for a ok price. (Ok because who would have though .40 a round was ok for 9mm) I only have abour 150 rounds of 9mm and needed for break in and hoping if it works out to use it in my CCW class coming up soon. Thanks! I'm getting really excited. Also ordered a houge jr, a soft case and some snap caps to get used to the trigger pull/break.

                          haha...I've thought about installing an in the wall small safe right outside the shower for this purpose. Maybe not the zombies, but some sort of creep! Or in a panic I lock us in and forget my gun out in the big safe can't get to my Joe Biden issued shotgun to blast through the door....... I'm hoping it's enjoyable.
