Skeptical about Kahr

[nksmfamjp]

I don't know about trigger issues. . . I think training can overcome most Kahr trigger issues. It is long, moderately heavy, but for me, it is very easy to have the sights on target at the break point. That is what I look for in a CCW.

I would have called BS on this thread, but my friend hates this style trigger also. Hmm, I would say training, but frankly I was shooting incredible groups with my Kahr from day 1.

I do a lot of dry fire with all my guns to train familiarity with the triggers. I think dry fire is actually better than live fire for training trigger control. It allows you to seperate the actual firing and recoil control from trigger training. I find that once I learn the trigger of a gun, shooting it becomes much easier.

why is the 1911's so popular with plate shooters. SINGLE ACTION ANY DAY, ALL DAY,

I should have my CW9 on the 18th according to FedEx's site....

jocko,

How can I show confidence? I've never owned any Kahr before in my life..I've only held one and it was a CW9 and it was in April 2011. I'm just that way with anything I've no experience with. I'm not ditching Kahr in any way at all.

I own Rugers, handled and purchased an LC9.. Horrible trigger on that gun. I traded it heads up for a S&W 457 2-tone..hpg

Focus on success and don't dwell on failure. You got a good support group right here and if there's a boggle (won't be) Kahr will take care of it. No question about it.

Be a little patient (I suck at this usually). Get to know it, if you shoot like Jocko (he does some incredible one shot groups, sometimes it's even on his own target.) first trip out just shoot one shot per target and call it a group.

You'll get better as time goes by and you'll become an addict like the rest of us. Positive karma lives.

FOCUS ON SUCCESS: NOW THAT IS SO DAMN ORIGINAL, I just had to repat that. Bawanna, u just amaze this ol timer.

But you don't carry a single action 1911 in your left front pocket every day, now do you?

[hpg]

My CW9 left FedEx terminal in Texas and is on it's way to Kentucky. Should have it Wednesday sometime.....hpg

Oh your lucky. You must be living right or something. Do the prep and lube thing when you get it and let us know how that first range visit goes. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

next time you're in a gun store pick up the best DA revolver they have and pull the trigger back, The CW9 is smoother and lighter. I have a ruger sp 101 and the trigger pull is about 5 lbs heavier than the Kahr and not near as smooth, plus its a heck of a lot harder to clean than the Kahr, no tools required.

SIG P238 with pocket holster by Sig. So YES!

cocked and locked or hammer down??

FedEx dropped off my CW9093 about an hour ago. I've cleaned it the best I can here at work. I will give it a good lubricating tonight when I get home..
I really like the quality of this little gun. And it's the bottom of the Kahr lineup, can't help but wonder if the top of the line P series can be much better quality? hpg

I felt the same way when I bought my first Kahr, a CW9, a few years ago. I am over it, now. The CW and CM series are just smack dab great values! And functionally, they are just as good as the Ps and PMs. There are a few things that you give up: polygonal rifled barrel, forged slide stop, dovetail metal front sight, extra magazine and the option to get the black slide and/or night sights. Many people go the extra money to have those features, and that is great. But personally, I am fine with the SS slide and the pinned front sight, and I get an added dose of satisfaction knowing what a great value I got. If money were no object (or less of, at any rate), I would go for the Cadillac every time. But, hey, these CW/CMs are Buicks, not Chevettes!

you bet

Cocked and locked. Got it in a IWB leather /kydex holster as I type. I will pocket carry when usinhg it as a BUG or when out for a walk. If I plan to sit, I don't care for pocket carry.

With that holster (what brand, BTW), doesn't it look like a wallet in your front pocket?
