Here's a link to Kahr's web site. It explains the differences between models.

The grip on the CW9 seems long and is made even longer with the mag inserted. Does anyone find it difficult to conceal the grip?

 

[Kingcreek]

Not long or hard to conceal at at all for me but I'm hoping to get some flush fitting mags or just round off the original base plate. The PM9 is 6 rounds and the the CW9 is 7

No Safety on the Kahr?

Am I right with this assessment? No safety? Just pick it up and squeeze?

 

[Ledgehammer]

No safety on the kahr besides the double action trigger pull. I absolutely love mine. I can conceal the grip no problem. It fits in most of my pockets, but I find that to be a bit tight. So I carry mine iwb appendix and it's very comfortable plus it's invisible there.

No safety, squeeze trigger and it goes bang. Good grip for me (all three fingers). Easily concealable and great to carry all day...

 

[Ledgehammer]

I believe kahr truly hit a homerun with this affordable, reliable, and very concealable gun. The trigger pull is sweet and it's very accurate and easy to shoot.

Some models have the option of a manual safety(needed for sale in Massachusetts) but the standard is no safety.

My polymer Kahr was junk. Went back to the factory three times before they gave up on it. Made me lose my confidence for that brand.

What were the nature of the problems your gun had?

 

[Luis Leon]

Paul7, Junk? How so? Could you elaborate? My Kahr has been flawless other than one failure to lock back, which was shooter induced. Calling it junk is kind a of harsh... Maybe you got a lemon...

The CW9 and I believe all Kahrs, have a firing pin block safety.

I have a CW45. Its a wonderful gun, as is the CW series 9mm. The only things I dislike are the sharp serrations on the front and back strap, the ultra tight throat that wont feed anything I load for it reliably and the plastic sights. All 3 issues can be cured without spending alot of money.

USP9, IMO the P9 is the superior grade gun. The guys over at kahrtalk.com mentioned the CW series as being "economy" level guns, hence the cut corners and price tags.

Hope it helps.

(Paul7, most of the guys over at kahr will make whatever is wrong, right)

Like 99% of others here my CW-9 is a great pistol and carry gun. Taurus not even in the same ball park .

 

[IdahoLT1]

I never understood why some people dislike the grip serrations or find them uncomfortable. I'm an electrician by trade but I don't think my hands are any more calloused than average.

I think the grip is very much improved by the Hogue Handall Jr. Makes a big difference in how the gun fits my hand and felt recoil. I got mine at Sportsman's Warehouse for $6.
