Best defense ammo for CW9

[MTCSS]

I bought my CW9 in July and during my break-in trip to the range I went through 240 rounds of 115gr FMJ from Blazer, Remington, Federal and Monarch. At 7 yards these all hit about 4 inches left of point of aim. I haven't been able to get back to the range to try any heavier bullets yet. Any opinions from anyone whether this is an ammo, sight alignment or shooter issue?

I think I will hunt down more Ranger 147 and shoot the heck out of it. Lots of Kahr haters around here, so I look to you guys for advice. Thanks all and stay safe

Unless the sights are off center, which is possible but unlikely, I'd wager that it's a shooter issue. Kahr's trigger takes getting used to. Practice a smooth, steady trigger pull keeping the rest of your fingers and hands steady. Have no regard for finding the break, since a Kahr doesn't have one. Also, look at the front sight instead of the target. HTH.

Giving more of the trigger finger -past the first joint- will pull the shots to the right. I was a non believer until I tried it.

Hornady critical defense is a good round for this length barrel. I have the p9

Exactly. I was having that issue just last week with my new cm9. My nephew (retired police officer) clued me in. I had the trigger on the second joint. After going with just the first joint.....problem solved.
