  • Skeptical about Kahr

    Hello everyone,

    I'm thinking about a Kahr CW9, but I've been reading about all the trigger issues and now I'm not sure I want a Kahr.......hpg

    I bought a cw9 back in June and have had no problems at all. Have about 1500 rounds through it. It is a loooong pull, but thats what I wanted for a carry piece.

        Welcome to the forum

        I had a CW9 and put probably 1000 rounds through it with never one problem. I traded it for a CM9 and I have 700+ rounds through it and no problems there either. I still miss the CW9.

        If you get the CW9 you will not be disappointed. it is a great gun. You should have no problems with it. Clean it and lube it before going to the range and it will run all day.
        The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

          CW9 has long trigger pull but much better than an LCP. The trigget is long (for safety) and SMOOTH

            Welcome to KahrTalk...

            Once again I'm clueless. I've not heard of anything about trigger issues particular to the CW9 or any other Kahr model for that matter.

              I traded my LC9 off and I carry a Glock 27 which is a litttle bulky at times. I've been looking at Kahr for about a month....hpg

                  The Kahr has a better "double action" trigger than my beretta 92

                    Do not be skeptical; Kahrs are quality firearms. It is true that they have a long trigger, but IMO it is one of the best existing DAO triggers.

                      I've only ever heard of Kahr's trigger being the best and smoothest of all DOA triggers. It IS long though.

                        Oh FYI,
                        I'll just mention this since you are new to us. I know we have only given good reports but I just want to let you know you will not find a whole bunch of "Kahr Snobs" here. Folks here will tell you what they really think. Check out this .380 thread sne see what's NOT here as a recomendation:

                        http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=10413

                        I have found that the CW9 and CM9 Kahr's design and function well represent well what they really are. A less than one inch wide CC weapon with a long smooth but not too heavy DAO trigger and no safety that is very reliable. And mine have run on every round like the old Japaneese cars did back in the 70's .

                          I have never heard anything about problems with Kahr triggers, They are long, but like butter. That is the safety of the gun, many which get pocket carried. I have owned the LCP, LC9 (wife's), and the CM9. The all-metal, smooth Kahr trigger is leagues above the Ruger plastic long-pull triggers. The Kahr doesn't bite like they do either.

                            The CW9 will have a much smoother trigger pull than the LC9. I traded off my LC9, Kept my CW40. If you go by every bad report you read on the internet, you'll never buy a gun. A very small percentage of CW9 owners have problems, and if they do Kahhr is eager to help solve them.

                              3/8" trigger travel. IMO that is plentyt long enoug. We get enough complaints on that length even. not a target trigger system but certinly the smoothest trigger system out there IMO.
