CW 40 as lightweight woods piece

How resistant to dirt, debris, etc is this gun?

If you carry it in a good holster, it is no different than any other handgun

It is a Kahr, which is more better

Should work just fine, and I already mentioned, keep in it a good holster and you shouldn't have any issues.

I've never shot one, but I would like something more than 9mm but smaller than my G20 for just quick day hikes.

I'd be more inclined to go with the CM9. There's less recoil and ammo for the 9mm is cheaper and more readily available. Either would be a good choice.

The recoil on a CW 40 is not heavy and very manageable for such a small frame. Around here (Atlanta Metro), 40 is readily available while 9mm is not so much.

True . I would think it would be a nice choice.

Idk, I'm thinking that new ct40 might be nice, or a 3" sp101 in 357

I have the cw40 (actually2)and carry at least 1 everywhere in holster and have never had a problem. I love them.

I would buy the ct40. Still very lite and offers a little more handgun for better control and longer site radius and you may be able to carry it in what kahr holster or 1911 holster you already have. I have a tp40 and love it but would have bought the ct40 if avalible a year ago.

I find my PM40 very manageable and accurate. Spend time with it in the woods several times a week.

How is the recoil on that TP40? Those are nice looking firearms.

I'd drop it in a mud puddle, and see how it goes..........

purple,
Don't you already have the 380? Why don't you keep it in your holster and not worry about it. If you feel it is enough to stop a two legged predator it should be good enough for 4 legs.

If you need more you have your G20.

I feel that 380 is the minimum for self defense. While I do think it is sufficient for a single attacker, I'd feel less comfortable with its ability against multiple.

Where I hike, there is bear scat everywhere, and lion prints. I wouldn't want to take on a black bear with a 380.

While I do think that two legged's are the larger threat, comfort is a nice thing in the woods, and not even 9mm gives me very many warm fuzzies in some areas

Check out my philosophy vid on the subject:

BTW, I'm getting a T&E CT40 and CT45 soon, so I'll let you guys know about those when the vids are up
