Which Kahr would you choose

[RonW]

As a EDC and why?

1. Kahr CW40 w/ front night sight

2. Kahr K9 w/ 3 dot night sights

3. Kahr CM9 w/ front night sight

[Bawanna]

This is of course a personal choice and you'll get a multitude of off setting answers.

Myself, I eliminate the 40 straight away. Although I love the 40, I do not like it in a subcompact super light gun. It's not painful and I can shoot it all day but too much muzzle flip for me for a defense gun.

The K9 is a winner and probably the flag ship of the whole Kahr company, great gun and if you belt carry in a proper holster on a proper belt, that would be my first choice.

If you want to pocket carry in some form either pants or jacket etc, then the CM wins the day. Be good for ankle carry as a back up gun. Works equally well if you use the belt and holster as above.

Need to know how it's going to be carried..........................not knowing that, I'd have to go with the CW .40 for no other reason in that .40 cal is my favorite caliber to carry and shoot. I do carry an MK9, but have been carrying a .40 cal firearm lately..............been feeling a bit underpowered as of late

none of the above. PMJ9 , all day, every day. Just sayin

Which Kahr would you choose

K9, the most reliable Kahr I've owned. A side benefit is that Crimson Trace laser grips can be added as a feature. P9 would be my second choice due to it's lesser weight.

[JohnR]

K9. Night or standard sights, either is fine.

Or CT9 with Alphonse's +1 base plate, to save weight and money for lotsa ammo.

[Islander]

Easy, the one I do carry everyday. K9 with night sights.

^^^^this!

Like others have stated - it's all personal preference.
Only you can answer that question for yourself.

My personal take;
1. Kahr CW40 w/ front night sight (Don't like most small polymer guns in 40 S&W).
2. Kahr K9 w/ 3 dot night sights - For Belt Carry.
3. Kahr CM9 w/ front night sight - For Pocket Carry.

That is all...

Bawanna and Barth nailed it. Jocko did OK too for pocket carry.

no love for the CM/CW .45

I don't give a damn what gun you carry as long as 9MM is stamped somewhere on the gun. The 9MM is more than adequate for personal defense, is easier on the gun and the shooter, and a whole lot cheaper to shoot. A .40 S&W won't kill a perp any deader than will a 9MM luger.

Thanks for the replies guys.... I own in fact all three of the kahr pistols mentioned. I carry the K9 the most and it goes in a Desantis cozy partner IWB holster. With open carry weeks away from becoming official I picked up a Desantis speed scabbard OWB holster... ( I plan on still carrying concealed although "loosely" ie, under a shirt but still in a OWB holster.)

Without doubt, my EDC is the K9. It has been 100% reliable since day one and accurate as heck. The CM9 is my summer/light clothing go-to gun and my CW40 was my first Kahr but now I use for our local weekly IDPA matches although on occasion it ends up in my carry rotation. All of my kahr pistols have been rock solid performers since the first day I brought them home.

I've owned a couple S&W's, a M&P Shield 40 & a M&P Bodyguard .380. Both are good guns in their own rights however when it comes down to it, I love kahr pistols. I love the smooth DAO trigger & the safety features built into the pistols.

Anyone who loves Kahr pistols can't be all bad, except possibly for Jocko.
