Possible to convert Kahr CW40 to 9mm?

[Brian10]

I know that 9mm conversion barrels exist for other types of hand guns, but do any off the shelf solutions exist to convert a Kahr CW40 to 9mm?

I regular shoot 40 in larger handguns, but I find the cartridge a bit much for the Kahr.

I know you can do it in a glock with a lone wolf barrel but have never heard it being done to a kahr

I don't think so. I believe that the patents that Kahr has over their feed ramp design are still in force

Maybe you could reload to a lighter charge in the .40. Otherwise I think you're stuck with the only other option being to replace the .40 pistol with a new Kahr 9mm pistol.

You would need to change the entire upper.

Get a pair of gloves. The most useful pair I have are leather and nylon boater's gloves. They're cheap, well made usually, have open finger tips and water and sweat doesn't bother them.

I agree, as the breechface and extractor spacing in the slide are different. This assumes they don't cost as much or more than a new gun, that .40 and 9mm calibers use the same frame, and that Kahr will even sell them to you.

CM9's are fairly inexspensive awesome guns...Keep your 40 and spring for a CM9...you won't regret it...

Here you go.

As it's not a frame, no need to go through a FFL. Can be shipped legally to your door.
