Which Kahr would you choose

[CJB]

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

CM9. Like the lighter weight of the CM over the K, and not a fan of 40

Of those choices, I'd get the K9. In fact, I did and haven't regretted doing so. It's a fantastic pistol in all respects.

But, for EDC, I'd go with MK9.

I prefer the all-stainless steel Kahrs over polymer frames.

I have carried the CW40. I shoot it well...
I do carry a K9 and I shoot it well also...
I do carry a P380, shoot it well and don't feel under armed...


Each gun has its day, when wardrobe dictates one form of carry over the others. Mainly works out to what kind of holster "kit" you have for each IMOHO.

I pretty much do the same thing.... My K9 is my primary, however my CW40 gets out there every now & then.... For the most part, I carry my CM9 when going out for walks, hot summer days & quick trips to the store.... But nothing beats the K9 in accuracy & cool factor

People that choose 9mm, choose it because it's easier to shoot. Supposedly........................I am most accurate with .40, and so are many others. Nothing against .45 either, I carry that on occasion. Not starting a caliber war again, but bigger holes achieve your goals............................................. ...................................half the people that tell you that you should carry a 9mm, use 9mm for their backup firearm, and carry a larger caliber as their main gun.

They choose 9mm because it's the most compact caliber and what many consider a minimum for a self defense caliber. Sure, there a few .380 loads that will penetrate to 12", but expansion is kinda shoddy out of a small barrel. Also, yes, bigger bullets moving faster cause bigger holes, but the difference between a 40 and a 9mm in a non-lethal area is negligible. If you hit where you're supposed to, then all handgun calibers perform nearly identical as far as wounding capability outside of all the large bore magnums (44, 500S&W, 454 casull, etc) but who has the real estate to carry those?

Out of all the pistols posted by OP, I'd choose the CM9/PM9. CCW is all about comfort. The more comfortable you are carrying, the more you'll be willing to carry. I hated carrying IWB because I found it uncomfortable. PM9 was the only thing that fit in my pocket/ankle so I went with that.
