CW9 Break-in, Range Report, Photos
First off I'll give you a little background about myself. I'm a 21 year old Pennsylvania native, active duty U.S. Army Firefighter with one combat tour in Afghanistan OEF 09-10.
I bought my CW9 from Ace Sporting Goods in Washington County, PA. Well... I traded my Glock 22 Gen4 for it, call me crazy yeah yeah i've heard worse.
I loved everything about the CW9, the way it felt in my hand, the slim profile, the light weight, and the DAO and slide release as well as the polished feed ramp.
I use this weapon as my everyday CCW, inside the waistband of my pants right hand hip side. Without a holster for now until I get my Crossbreed Minituck for my birthday.
I made a few upgrades to the weapon before the break-in period.
I cleaned and lubed the Pistol following the Kahr Lube Diagram found on the website.
I went to my local indoor range with 200 rounds of Winchester white box, which would not be my first choice but Walmart didn't have federal in stock. I also had a box of 50 Remington UMC.
The weapon DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE MALFUNCTION.
I loaded my 2 magazines in 5 round increments.
I went through 200 rounds fairly quick, not worried about accuracy or grouping.
The next 50 rounds I focused on shooting fundamentals (Steady Aim, Breath Control, Trigger Squeeze, Grip)
I couldn't get enough so I bought 50 rounds of what the range had. Some Fiocchi, which was actually rather impressive. I used the last 50 rounds to Zero and sight in my CT Laserguard.
The weapon is now dead on at 25 yards. It may be more accurate than I am, The way a good weapon should be.
After my first range visit I rigorously cleaned my CW9, with brass dust and carbon all over it.
Yesterday, A week later I went back to the range with my Dad, and shot 75 more rounds. Again ZERO MALFUNCTIONS, and still a Tack Driving Well Oiled Machine.
I COULDN'T BE ANY HAPPIER WITH THIS WEAPON.
After everything I read, I went to the range expecting the worst, hoping for the best. And the best is what I got.
If you take care of your weapon, your weapon will take care of you. It is your friend, your lifeline...treat it as such.
