Why do you own a Kahr?

[aray]

For me it was the design & feature set of a small CCW. I don't often get to CC living here in a foreign country called Maryland, but when I do visit the USA, my CW9 has the size, weight, and operational design I want exactly.

In addition I can't overemphasize that any gun I own must feel right in my hand. For large frame guns that's the Beretta 92FS. In a small package it is my Kahr CW9. I know it is subjective for every individual, but that fit is a very important selection criteria for me.

I Love it, Love it Love it!

I bought my PM9 after shooting a friend's new pistol. Not being used to a very small pistol like the Kahr PM9, he was experiencing some difficulties. Perhaps some of the problems also might have been due to lack of break-in they advise. All I know is that when I shot it, the ease of accuracy virtually amazed me! Five minutes later I was back in the showroom buying the only one in the showcase, the same one I'd seen there for months previously. It had only seemed interesting, but a little expensive, for a small used gun, until I shot one. With mine, there was no break-in necessary. I've had NO problems with it. I've switched out the stock sights to a set of Xs Big Dot nightsights. In the matter of point or instinctive shooting, I think I've gained some speed at very little cost in accuracy. If worst came to worst, as they say, I want this gun in my hand when it happens. Extremely concealable, very reliable, dependable, and remarkably accurate.

For years, I carried revolvers, usually a S/W model 60. I decided that I wanted somethin' flatter & faster reloadin'. I bought a PM9. It has been on my belt for the last several years now every day. I have Glocks & a Beretta Nano, they are nice dependable guns, but the PM is always with me. Incidentally, it will shoot silver dollar size groups @ 7 yards, if I do my part!

the first pistol I bought was a S&W MP9C. loved it, shot it better than my friends shot their full size guns. sold it because I needed something thinner for daily carry. bought a bersa .380 & used the extra cash to buy ammo. carried the Bersa for 4 years, then got married & the wife wanted to start carrying. she liked the bersa & shot it just as well, if not better than I did. So I did a bunch of research. The Kahr CW-9 was well within my budget, was slimmer than the Bersa (lighter too), was in 9mm (or more) and still had enough grip for me to hang onto it.
Rented the CW40 at the range, shot it nearly as well as I shot the mp9c, so I was convinced.
Went with the CW9 for controlability if the wife shoots it. took the new CW9 to the range and was shortly able to put all 8 shots into a 4" circle quite quickly. the only issues I've had were with chinese steel cased ammo that a friend's glock had problems with too. Also had some failures to lock back after the last shot, but traced that to an improper grip on my part. turns out, if you rest your thumb on the slide stop while firing, you can prevent it from engaging the slide after the last shot. never had any problems that were not my own fault. I never leave home without it. I'll be missing it when I send it in for some Trijicon night sights

S&W 642
NAA 22Mag Mini
CW45
CM9

The two revolvers are the wifes....
I bought the CW45 first because of how it feels in my hand and wow how smooth
she shoots....
The CM9 came later after seeing every gun smith at a gun show except the glock smith all carrying PM9's....
I carry the CM9 everywhere under all conditions.....
Basically it is the perfect gun for my style of carrying front pocket holster....

Started out carrying a Bodyguard semi...........great for carry, but shooting is another story. Wanted to up my firepower, and did some reading about Kahr's. Got an MK9 birdsong. A bit heavy, but accurate as h3!!, butter smooth trigger, simple, but looks good, feels good..........everything I was looking for in a carry firearm. Will never part with it. Looking at the PM now. He's hooked, reel em in....................

Wish I had a higher post count so I could take pics of the twins! I bought two PM9s for the wife and I cuz they were cheap A year or so ago I paid $649.00 each and thought that was bad. 2 months ago the same gun at the same shop was $829.00. Have close to 1000 rds through mine without one hiccup, my wife had alot of FTF issues but the shop took care of that at no charge The twins are ten serial #s apart which is kinda cool. The PM9 is my EDC choice when the weather is warm but gotta admit I like my 1911 when winter comes and it's easy to hide. My wife has her PM9 every day all year.

This is probably as good a price as you'll find for a black PM9.

Why do I own a Kahr? Because it's too far to walk.

Why do you own a Kahr?

I own a CW45 cause I was on a tight budget and wanted the best I could get for my $ and have a .45.
The CW45 filled that requirement perfectly and I'm completely satisfied.
