New Kahr CW9 = RECOIL MONSTER!?!?!?

[jreXD9]

If you think the recoil is bad, try shooting a kel tec PF9 or even the P3AT. The little P3AT is working at the ragged edge.

ain't that the truth! I'd rather take my chances by THROWING those at a thug.
Based on personal experiences, I'd say that the recoil from my CW9, PM9 AND CW45 are very mild. I LOOOVE the thud that the CW45 delivers.

as i recently posted elsewhere, the recoil of my new p9 surprised me. I'd shot the k9 and other 9s, and always found the 9mm round to be very mild. But, the p9 is lightweight, and the recoil was more than i was expecting. Still, it's only a 9mm and i'm used to 40s&w. I don't think i'd call any 9mm a "monster," but that's just me. Try one of the thicker grip sleeves (rather than just bicycle inner tube).

port it!!

port it!!

My P9 isn't bothering me as it is; it's just more recoil than I was expecting based on shooting the K9.

But, I read the recent porting thread and my takeaway was that porting didn't really make all that much of a difference. Did I come to the wrong conclusion?

I don't see that redterror has responded or even been back. I think the recoil thing was a hoax. The PM9 has hardly any recoil , and the CW9 is bigger (P9 size). My LCP 380 snaps more than the PM9. :-)

[jocko]

ur sure did:

Magnaport.com read up in it..

the P9 is actually a very nice gun, but one shouldnot compare recoil of it to the K9. there is certainly a difference and weight is one factor for sure..

I think he was just an inexperienced shooter. Certainly a small, light gun like a CW9 will have more recoil than larger ones. It's all relative.

Yup, he hasn't logged in since he made his first and only post.

He's got 3 pages of good stuff to read if he ever returns.

can anyone spell "troll"

When I first got my SP101 357 I shot 38+p and after 20 rounds my finger started bleeding and I was all over the target like a shotgun blast. My hand was num for 2 hours. After 500 rounds I can shoot a whole box comfortably and last outing I put 25 out of 25 in the 3" cirlce from 25FT. pulling DA as fast as I could get back to POA. I cant wait to shoot MY new CW9 tomorrow. I know I will need practice and PATIENCE!!!:33:

troll???? did someone say troll????


hhmmmm.... tonight my wife made that "Milkyway Cake" I read about either here or on one of the other gun forums I frequent, and it was sooooo goood!

Now I have to search every darned thread I've read in the last 3 days on half a dozen forums to find who posted that recipe.

There was absolutely NO felt recoil from the bunt pan

I alternate carry between a SP101 and CW9 myself. The SP101 gets field duty and the CW9 gets pleasure duty. The thing that I have been searching for for years is a combination of similar feeling triggers in revo and semi. So far, this is the best I've run across in many attempts. I love my 3" SP101 .357 mag and my CW9 .... so much I started reloading .357 as of today. Still have all my fingers and a perfectly functional SP101

Me too. Got the 3" SP101 before the CW9 and knew that I'd have to start reloading as much as I like to fire the SP101. That was last year in April/May. Then went and found that the CW9 has nearly the same trigger feel in DA. So now I'm reloading for both!

[mr surveyor]

pretty amazing match aren't they. After I picked up my SP101 last fall the new gun fever just almost died, partly due to economy, but I think mostly due to the fact that one of the great mysteries of life had been solved. I've spent at least the last 5 years searching for similar trigger feel and manual of arms in pistol and revo.... I believe we have a winner

Yes, they are a good match for trigger pull and overall barrel length/sight radius. I really debated about getting the CW9 when I was looking to replace my P3AT with something bigger (9 mm since I also have a nice CZ SP01 Phantom for "home and range"). Looked at a whole bunch of 9 mm compacts. After handling the CW9 and dry firing it at the LGS (good guys there and I did use snap caps) knew that the CW9 was THE replacement.

[mr surveyor]

I will keep the CW9, but I'll darned sure be looking to pick up a CM9. That would be my replacement for my previous P3AT. When .380acp ammo was so scarce a couple of years ago, my P3AT went in on a trade for the CW9. Hated giving up the carry size of the P3AT, but certainly didn't mind not paying extortion fees for the less than favorable .380 ammo.
