Kahr cw9 mods pic heavy.

kahr CW9 updates! PIC HEAVY
Got some goodies in the mail! I haven't got my wollf 5# trigger yet so that will be next.

P9 slide stop- stainless, is a little thinner and shorter. Feels better on the thumb.
Stainless guide rod- heavier for added recoil reduction. Smoother and obviously better looking.
Trijicon night sight- Not plastic!! And it is a night sight.
Stainless mag plate- looks great and it won't break. Also shortens up grip a tad.

My only complaint is the night sight screw sticks up a tad and is rubbing barrel. I will take a small round file and fix that tomorrow at work. Not a deal break by any means.

I will be ordering 3 more base plates for the other 3 magazines. I'll shoot some tomorrow and report in on how everything does. I should receive my wolf spring soon, then I'll do a light shine job. Okay now with the pictures!

Be sure to fix that screw clearance before you shoot it.

Yea, I will first thing. It is just touching a little. If need be I want will take the drill and make it seat deeper. Just from racking the slide it has polished it down.

I considered calling Kahr to complain, but I'll just take care of it.

That's a good plan.
We had a fella here that said he had Trijicon front sights break off twice on his CM9. I'm convinced it was because the screw didn't have proper clearance. My CW9's screw fit was worse that yours, so I modified the slide to get the clearance (wasn't an issue with my CW45).
Here's what I did with my CW9:

Dig it. Real nice! Can you post a link to where you got that flat mag base plate I want them for my mags

[Dirty J]

What mag bases are those?

[wyntrout]

If that metal magazine base pinches you, a neoprene plumbing O-ring 3/32" diameter and 3/4" inner diameter might help. I had to get some for my P40 and then put them on my P9, too, without testing for pinch.

In the bottom picture, the lowest magazine has a 1/8" O-ring which is too thick... interferes with magazine retention. I had to go back and get the next smaller size.
