CW45 owners

picked a new CW45
starts with SG

passes the greg test, hopefully they are past the rail issue

I was on the fence on buying a CW45 at Cabelas tonight (have a gift card on them for screwing up a gun library purchase I made) saw the CW45, felt great, but now I am anxious to go back, note the serial # and try to test for the short rails..

actionexpress,
your a perfect example of why Kahrtalk and gun forums in general are a good thing. it's community and we talk. glad you saw this thread and will make a better informed decision on a purchase. when I started this thread, I was just some guy who maybe or maybe not had a Kahr problem. I was hoping for a few replies and probably to get kidded about being a little OCD. then the forum magic kicked in an guys like Greg got into the conversation. 13 pages latter, here we are. I got my gun fixed, got to whine about paying the shipping, got to bad mouth Kahr's service. when you go back to Cabelas, check the serial number and do the "Greg test"--- explain all of this to the Cabelas salesman so he knows whats going on. good luck, good shooting.

Well I bought it tonight, only had the display model left as the sales guy said they sold a number of them already. Serial is SG 30**. I pinched the slide/frame together, pulled back the slide as far as I could given the position of my hands, and I figured since it didn't bind up it was good. I compared the length of the frame rails to the used P45 in their case and they seemed to match. I pulled the slide up from the frame and could literally see that the rails were catching the slide. Not sure if anyone else has tried that but there wasn't any more/less play than any other polymer I've owned. One thing I really like about our local Cabelas as they don't mind one bit if you take a gun apart to inspect before buying. Pulled her apart, looked okay, didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Can pick it up late Friday (48 hr wait here in WI) and hopefully take her out Saturday afternoon.

Will certainly post some feedback on it.

I field stripped the CW, noticed the thinness of the metal just above the channel for the guide rod, but it looked okay and certainly could be filed a bit if needed.
