Cw night sights available

[Kent Shopley]

We now have CW night sights available at Kahrshop. They are not yet on the website. They should be posted by the end of next week. They are in stock, and ready to ship. They are a Trijicon 2 dot rear with a Trijicon single dot front. The rear is the same as our other Trijicon rear sights. The front sight is all metal, and is secured by two metal posts, one containing a set screw. Set comes with loctite as well. Very easy install. The price is $80.00 + shipping. Call 508-635-1428 to order your set now. Pictures of the sights can be e-mailed. These will sell VERY quickly, so Kahrtalk members are getting the opportunity to order a set from the first run of sights before everyone else. Thanks!!!

Woohoo! Been waiting for these for a long time. Please send me pics, or better yet, post them here.

My question is this: is the front sight the same height as the factory rear sight?

I favor black rear sights with a white dot front sight. A front night sight on my CW9 would be fantastic.

front sight height

The CW front night sight is the same height as the factory front sight.

I want to get some for my CW9 but...

Can't get passed the $25 for shipping.

It only costs me $5.00 USPS priority 2-3day.

$80.00 night sights
$40.00 installation
$30.00 shipping (round trip)

OUCH!!!

I shipped my slide Tuesday (three days ago) in the USPS Priority Mail box for $4.90... should be at the "Mothership" by today. I don't expect a $30 return shipping fee. One thing to consider is that shipping the slide only does not require anything special in regards to ffl requirements to ship a complete handgun (serialized receiver) USPS, or declaration to common carrier (resulting in rediculous charges) for individual to legally ship a handgun to it's place of origination (manufacturer). I'm expecting no more than the same mailing charge of five bucks and possibly a small handling fee, if even that.

I'm ready to get the CW back in the waist band... I had forgotten just how much different my Sig P239 carried. Mainly though, I am looking forward to the certain, dramatic improvement in sight acquisition that the tritium sights will provide.

Make sure about the shipping costs. $25 is what THEY quoted me for return shipping. I didn't think it would have to come back next day either since I was only going to ship the slide.

"James,
The sights are $80, the install is $40, and return shipping is $25. Turnaround time is about a week. Send just the slide to the address below. Include a note with what you'd like done, and contact information so that we can call you to get your credit card info. Send to

That's the exact e-mail they sent me this week.

[In-Yo-Grill]

It's official. I just got an e-mail back from Kahr stating that the slide has to be shipped back "FedEx insured, signature required". I think I'll hold off on these night sights for a little while.

[mr surveyor]

all I can say is that I was originally quoted $129 total. I assumed that to be $80 for the product, $40 installation, and $9 return. That was for shipping the slide only. If it's much more than that I may have to forgo using night lights in the house for a few months and use the tritium sights to light my way for those nightly trips "down the hall".

That is turn off, way too much for shipping, always there is the alternative of el cheapo paint. Which it what I did for CW9.

I may just order them and get my locat gunsmith to install them.

[RiskPro]

There great....

Just order them; I paid $20 buck to my local GS to put them on.

Well worth the $ and could not imagine them not on my CW-9.

This is why I'm waiting! I would think that XS, Meprolight, Ameriglo, etc. will come out with night sights for the CW series. Not to mention that most places will install the sights for free if you purchase the sights from them.

[mr surveyor]

as I understand it, the front sight is very DIY friendly, but the rear sights are extremely "tight". Knowing how tough Kimber sights are to install, from lack of interest from a couple of local smiths is installing Kimber sights, I was told that the Kahr sights were possibly even tighter fit. If the DIY person (which I normally am), or a local gun smith breaks a tube while installing the sight, you're out the replacement cost of the sight. If the factory breaks it, they just pick up another and go on with the work. Thus my reason for spending the extra money to have the sights installed with a guarantee they would be factory centered, and no damage done to the slide in the process.

I've been using tritiums for enough years to know there's no amount of phosphorescent paint that can begin to equal the results of the trit. I have the full 6 pack of paint in a packeged set made specifically for painting gun sights, three bottles which are designed to glow. Yeah, if you hold them to the light for a few minutes you get a slight glow effect in near total darkness, but since I carry concealed IWB, the glow just won't be there at midnight-thirty by the time I'm most likely to need it... not to mention that the paint tends to "steam off" after a few days/weeks of carry IWB.

This year, instead of new firearms purchases, I plan to replace the aging night sights on the Kimber, put new SigLights on the P239, and either a custom front tritium tube on my Airweight or CT grips. Between those three and the CW9, that will take care of my carry guns, and the range guns can stay the way the are now.

Now, after a senseless ramble (which I have a knack for), I would love to hear (read) a full report from RiskPro on the functionality of the new sights.

More encouraging input while I patiently await "seeing the light"

p.s. I can only hope those discouraging words from the movie "Christmas Vacation" don't come to mind on my first low light range trip: "The little lights aren't twinkling, Clark"!
