I love Kahr pistols because they all feel great in the hand an carry well plus very light weight. With that being said this pistol has a break in period of 200 rounds but during that period I had no issues but I also cleaned and made sure it was lubricated before I took it out. It has some recoil to it but for me it wasn't a problem but that could be a deal breaker for some.

I love the smooth trigger pull on this Kahr. The sights were right on target out of the box.

I am a recently retired police officer. I bought the Kahr CW9 while I was still active duty to carry as my concealed weapon. Even though it’s a 7+ 1 capacity (wish it had more capacity), In my opinion it is the perfect weapon for concealment. It’s relatively lightweight, has a very narrow profile, yet it’s a lot of weapon for the money. It takes practice, to get a tight grouping with this weapon, because of its light weight. As a retired officer, I still am required to qualify two times a year. I normally qualify with a Glock 17, or a Glock 21. and of course my grouping is tight with these guns, because of the weight difference. Point being don’t neglect practice with the Kahr. It’s a beautiful size for concealed carry.

Bought this gun for my wife fit her perfect then took it to the range to many problems to list. Went to the range the second time and still the same problems. Needless to say i traded the gun in on another gun.

LOVE this gun. Bought it online from BUDS and had it within 1 week. So far, I have fired 100 rounds through it (different types of ammo) and no problems, whatsoever. I will definitely use this as my EDC.

Great budget carry gun. Standard Kahr quality but a much lower price. The trigger is the only down fall to it, its mushy and a little long, however there are spring kits for it. I added one to mine. great carry gun for people that like a single stack but don't want the weight of a 1911.

Great little carry piece for the price.

It has been a long while since I have owned a Kahr handgun's, have had several. Everyone never failed to go bang when the trigger was pulled. The trigger on these guns are actuated by a cam design, while reliable the trigger travel and reset was excessive. I have to say the entry level pistols are just as good as the top of the line Kahrs. Bud's is a good place to order from but before ordering find a local store that will let you handle and dryfire the pistol to get a feel of the action.

I bought the CW9 for concealed carry. I ended up getting a smaller 380 pistol because the CW9 is a little too large for concealed carry in my opinion. It shoots and cycles perfectly, but the trigger is a little heavy for my liking.

Perfect concealed carry weapon. Just the right size.

Without question, the most reliable auto pistol I have ever owned. Over 1,500 rounds and not once did it ever fail to feed or fire. My only complaint is the take down. Very difficult to remove the slide stop to release the slide. Would not be easy in the field. That is the only reason for the four star review.

I purchased this a few years ago and added it to my most conceal carry list. It shoots more accurately than my other 9mm and I have been very pleased with it. I also had no problems shipping it to a local gun shop.

I really love this gun- manufacturer and model. The grip to slide ratio is perfect for feel and the slim single stack magazine conceals well. I used to carry the more compact version (CM9) until I realized that I can easily pocket carry this as well. It even fits pocket holsters designed around the MK9/PM9/CM9.

I carry DA revolvers daily and this is the best trigger i have ever found in a striker gun..I also carry the PM 9..

This gun was a pretty good shooter and I had no reliability issues of any kind. I would look at another Kahr in the future and definitely buy it from Buds!

Reliable and attractive single stack 9 to compliment any CCW rotation.

Own a Kahr CW 40 that has been an excellent pistol and runs perfect. Bought this CW 9 expecting the same. Was disappointed as this pistol had at least one failure to feed in every magazine, usually the second round. Was running Tula 115 FMJ steel case ammo through it for the break in. Broke the gun down and polished the feed ramp. Gun now runs perfect with Tula ,Federal HST jhp and Speed Gold Dots. The ramp in this gun had some minor tool marks. I used a dremel with wool polishing pads and some polishing compound to simply smooth it out. Took less than five minutes. Great pistol with a simple tweak.

Shot a couple hundred rounds and it’s ok but feel a bit not as solid as a shield cz rami sig etc I sold it I did like the dual colors but good gun accurate and light compact

Great conceal carry for the money, take this everywhere I go. 200+ rounds without a malfunction.

Really pleased with this purchase, shipping was spot on & so was their customer service! Will purchase again from Buds.

Excellent 9mm for EDC. I like it as well as my Glock, but of course it is a bit less sturdy. Put 2,000 rounds through it, and no problems except for a certain reload which caused FTF. Easy breakdown and field strip.

Bud's always comes through though I never receive my guns as fast as some do but they always get here eventually. After taking my new CW9 home, I field stripped it to give it it's initial cleaning like I do with all my new guns. It was dirty inside and had polymer flashings everywhere! It took over 3 hours to clean all the crud and flashing out. I had to use a razor blade to trim all the excess flashing that was hanging off everything. Finally after all the cleaning, I lubed everything up. The next day I took it to the range and all my effort paid off as it ran beautifully, for 2 magazines! I loaded the 3rd magazine up and took aim at the target and the front sight was gone! It must have flown off with the last round in the 2nd magazine. Needless to say, I was bummed! When I contacted a Kahr customer rep on the telephone he just said, "yeah, that's why we recommend a 200 round break in to smooth everything out". Who the heck wants polymer flashings all inside your pistol? I'm still waiting for the front sight replacement from Kahr which is taking awhile. If it still runs as good as it did for the first 2 magazines after I replace the front sight, I'll be a happy customer. Just remember, if you buy one of these, THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND LUBE IT BEFORE YOU SHOOT IT! Also, after field stripping, make sure to check your front sight as it's plastic and has 2 round plastic shafts that fit down inside 2 holes in the slide and are just melted down to hold the sight on. They factory installation could be faulty like I'm sure mine was, (wish I would have checked it!), and this could save you some grief.

I love this pistol. Although it has no external manual safety (which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the user) I find it ideal for concealed carry, especially with the standard 7 round magazine with flush base plate. I have average sized hands and the grip fits my hand perfectly. It has a great point of aim and the smoothest trigger I've felt for $300. As far as accessories, the new Hogue Handall Jr with beavertail fits well. Pearce also makes a pinky extension baseplate and Kahr has an 8 round mag with extended baseplate available, both of which come in handy at the range and as back up mags. I added a Streamlight TLR-6 flashlight/laser combo on mine and while I don't always use the laser at the range, every time I do turn it on it's right on point. Excellent pistol for the money spent, would highly recommend it.
