****Update 12/30/2014. Hello everyone! Thanks for staying tuned! So, Kahr sent me a new P9 Black slide after the first came with a blemish. I slipped the CW9 barrel into the P9 slide. Naturally, it was a very snug fit. I was quite nervous as the barrel didn't seat fully as if it were in battery. I thought maybe there were millimeters if difference that I wasn't noticing. Turns out all it needed was a little muscle to fully seat. With a little oil and hand manipulation I got it to loosen up. I fit the front day sight and voila, put it all together.
So, to answer the question. Yes, a P9 slide does fit all other CW9 components. This has how been confirmed twice in this thread. Shout out to our member cobrasjp for 1st confirmation!
I must say that I'm quite fond of the two-tone look. Definitely thought the controls were going to need to be black as well, but I'm done! The contrast is nice in my opinion. I'll be taking it to the range this week.****
*****Update 12/22/14. See following pictures. P9 Black slide arrived from Kahr. There is a blemish on the top of the slide behind the rear sight. Am I crazy? If I was buying a brand new gun I would ask to see if that had any others in stock. I'm OCD. I haven't even put the slide on the frame because I'm going to contact Kahr customer service tomorrow. It looked like it was done before the DLC coating applied. It was dinged, then coated. Your thoughts?********
Good evening! A couple things to touch on here and will keep it short and sweet:
Will a P9 slide fit on a CW9 frame with all CW9 parts: striker, striker block, extractor, etc...?
Why you ask? Well, I purchased a used CW9 with the sole purpose of it being a "tinkering" piece; knowing full well that things could turn out great... or not so great... and most of all, become a money pit. I started to work on a slide melt and began to file away at the sharp corners. I got a little carried away near the front of the slide on the hard edge near the rolled CW9 lettering. Basically, I took off a bit too much on one side, had to match the other, and so on and so forth to keep things even. Now, it looks great off the frame and it's finished well, but the slide tapers in skinnier than the dust cover. I don't like that. Now I'm in the market for a new slide and will put this one up for sale, cheap. Just trying to decide between the P9 or CW9 slide direct from Kahr. Yes, my decision making went like this: 1) I do an awesome melt job and get a Cerakote finish 2) I'm out $145 + shipping for the cost of a slide. That was a chance I was willing to take.
The slide is not done. It still needs finishing work, but I'm done removing any more metal.
This is my first post on the forum. I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to join. I hope that I can give as much as I receive. Y'all seem like a great bunch. Now, you may enjoy my experiment.
