  • I recently bought a CM9 because I wanted a 9mm that could be carried in my front pocket, and I had researched double action triggers and Kahrs seem to be well thought of. I first got a Sig P938 because it was single action. But after pulling it out of my pocket holster and finding the safety disengaged, on more than one occasion, I thought a double action would make me feel more comfortable carrying it. I put 150 rounds through it recently and everything went perfectly. Not one failure of any type.

    • The CT40 was $199 at Palmetto State Armory. I didn't think I wanted or needed a 40 for that matter. At $199 I did.

          Yikes--that would have really freaked me out. The Sig is a really nice little gun, but it is not a pocket gun IMO (for that reason).

            The P938 is a great little gun to pocket carry IF you can fine a pocket holster that completely covers the safety. I got one from Yetter holsters and it works perfectly. But what bugs me about carrying it in a safety protected holster is that it is too slow to put into operation. IMO, a single action just isn't right for pocket carry. They're fine for IW or OSW carry.

            • Just got a CW380. I helped a friend who bought a used P380 and was suitably impressed when firing it that I purchased the CW for me. The recoil was so much more manageable than the P3AT I owned years ago, and the BIG slide release is a plus on a tiny pistol to me. Years ago a friend got a used E9 and I liked it, but did not think much about Kahr as it seemed like a nice pistol, but nothing stood out to me. Now, I like the fact nothing stands out, simple to use, simple to shoot, Kahr is a brand for me now......

              • I bought a CM40 because I wanted to carry a 'big gun' but I needed a lighter weight than my Glock 23. The CM40 turned out to be very picky about it's diet, but I found a round it liked and everything was fine. When they came out with the CM45 at 17.5 oz, I gladly got in line. I love my CM45.

                A Gun is a lot like a parachute. If you need one and don't have one, you probably won't need one again.

                • I choose the kahr because I like the feel of it. It's a great carry weapon. It's not heavy and uncomfortable to carry. Also the trigger is awesome.

                    If it had malfunctioned Zimmerman might not be with us today. I'd say that he's probably sorry that he was forced to pull the trigger.

                    • I bought a Kahr because it struck my fancy. What more reason did I need?

                      • I am a fairly unremarkable man except that I have the hands of a 14 year old girl. The first time I picked up a slim little Kahr I knew I had to have one. No other handgun (except maybe a 1911) feels better in my hand than a K or P series gun.

                        • I went into the gun store looking for a Shield. Turned out they had sold their last one, so I thought I was content to wait for another one to arrive. I was looking around while my buddy talked to the salesman, and saw a CW40 on the shelf and asked to see it. As soon as I picked it up I knew I wanted it. The weight was right, grip fit me like a glove and I liked the feel of the whole thing. I decided to sleep on it, and came back the next day and traded a shotgun in on it and took the Kahr home. I've put a few hundred rounds through it so far and am really happy. I like it better every time I shoot it.

                          • I tend to go for things that are clean and elegantly designed, so I was attracted to Kahrs right away. I started with a PM9 and was very happy with it, but when I put a K9 Elite in my hands it went straight to that part of my brain usually occupied by beautiful women and exotic cars. You know...the lightning bolt that hit Michael Corleone in Sicily! But unlike exotic babes and cars, this little jewel worked perfectly and did everything I asked of it. The K9 led to more Kahrs, both stainless and poly. IMHO, Kahr has hit the perfect balance of form and function. I'm still waiting for my K45 Elite, though.

                            • I got my last three at great prices, so that helped sway my decision quite a bit. But I too like the way the Kahr's fit my hand. I have such small hands that I can even squeeze my other 4 fingers onto the grip, giving me very good control of the little monster. I bought a CW45, while waiting on the CM to come out, and then a couple weeks later I found a CM45 for under $300, and snatched it as well.
                              Now I have a new unfired CW45, that I'm not sure if I'll keep or trade. I picked it up when one of the internet gun stores had it at a ridiculously low price. I suppose I should at least break it in and see if it will function with the 7 round mags. That's why I sold my first CW45, it wouldn't function with a fully loaded 7 round mag - 3 different ones, and I made sure the springs were in right, and that the follower wasn't hanging up on anything. It went back to Kahr a couple times, and they returned it saying it functioned fine with the 7 round mags, well it did, when you only loaded 3 or 4 rounds into them. II guess the Kahr gunsmiths can't read that its a FULLY LOADED 7 round Kahr mag that causes problems, which I put in a note in bold print, when returning the pistol to Kahr, and mentioned a couple of times when talking to customer service.

                              • I'm dirt poor as usual but if you part with that CW45 let me know. I've been pondering one of those for a bit.
