Kahr CW9. How is it different?

[gbelleh]

I haven't seen a thread about this gun here yet.

What's up with the new Kahr CW9? http://www.kahr.com/new_cw9093.html

How is it different from the P9? The only difference I see is the shape of the slide and different sights. The CW9 also seems to be a bit less expensive than the P9. Am I missing anything else?

It looks like the polymer version of the K9!!!
I suspect it will be just as good as it's steel brother!!

It's the "budget" version.

It has plastic sights, and a rougher, less polished finish.

Mechanically, the Kahr budget models are about the same, but are not as smooth and well finished as the standard grades.

Sweet, an "E-9" "P-9" so to speak! I have seen the P-9s sell for $450 so maybe the CW9 will sell for $100 less or so. I have no reservations about buying the economy line, the E-9 I had was great. I have two K-9s now but the E-9 was just as good in function. It was two tone and the black part would rust. I didn't have a problem with the plastic sights that Kahr puts on their economy line, I would have a problem paying Glock prices for a Glock with plastic sights. At least Kahr calls it economy and cuts the price when they mount plastic sights, Glocks doesn't even tell you that you are buying the economy version.

Ok, so it's just a polymer E9.
