After shooting about 50 rounds through my Kahr CW45 I sold it. Just didn't care for it.

I like the pistol it had a break in period and after that it is very good.

Good tool, I had to send it back for some magazine catch issues and sent it to Kahr and the time service was excellent. Great turnaround time was reasonable and included a magazine. That was a nice gesture!!!!!

Runs great only problem is it shoots low from 3 out to 15 yards did not really expect that

I’ve got small hands. The gun feels great. Not as much recoil as you’d think. Great fit in the hand. If you love .45 but don’t want a 1911. You can’t go wrong here.

Just received my CW45 and it is perfect. Feels good, well balanced, and quality made. Will go to the range on Saturday to see how it performs. Third Kahr that I own.

I bought a Kahr CW45 two yrs ago. I am very satisfied with it. It eats all ammo without a jam, Disassembly and cleaning are a breeze. I upgradeed sights to Dawson fiber-optic. All types of holsters are available from most manufacturers. I think it is a high quality pistol and a great value.

The product I received was exactly as advertised. It performs as expected and lives up to the reviews from various owners. The price was reasonable, shipping was fast, all in all, the product and supplier made for a positive experience.

I've been a 45 ACP fan for a long time and THIS has been my favorite so far. I've shot this alongside a RIA 1911 Officer's Model-size 45, which is TWICE the weight, and the Kahr seems to be "softer shooting." It has been dead-reliable and shoots cast as well as jacketed. It's the lightest and most shootable and "carryable" pocket-full of 45 I've ever owned. This is an excellent CCW in all respect without having to compromise your ideals if you thins "bigger (bore) is better" when it comes to personal defense.

The gun ran great with factory ammo. I had some trouble with my reloads, but that was fixed with a heavier crimp. My rounds were getting stuck in the chamber when feeding. Totally my fault and not the guns fault. The tolerances seem very tight. After 200rds, the gun is shooting and cycling much smoother. Break down was tough at first, but much easier now? Get a rubber grip. The plastic grip is aggressive and will beat up your hand. The rubber grip sleeve makes the gun so much better. It ejects in your face sometimes. An excellent value for this gun. Very reliable. No problems feeding or ejecting once I fixed my reloading.

This firearm will be my winter CCW. Got it for its low weight and 45 acp caliber. So far it has worked flawlessly. Just about done with break in period. Its not a gun I will shoot everyday but definitely carry it 24-7. All in all happy with the purchase. Buds did deliver to my FFL fast.

I bought this after watching some reviews on youtube and I am pleasantly pleased. I only purchased this because of the price that Buds sales them at. I would not pay the 400 plus that I have seen at the gun stores, just because I have plenty of .45 caliber weapons. I did get this Kahr at round 306 with no tax and free shipping. I took it to the range today is why it has taken me awhile to give it a review. The gun performed well though the grips are aggressive and is not a great range gun, I may get some slip on rubber grips in the future. I shot around 100 rounds with no failure to feed or eject which I am happy with. I did notice that twice when I slammed a filled magazine in the handgun while the slide was back, the slide went forward on its on. I was using the Kahr 6 round mag and a Kahr 7 round mag when this happened. It does not do this with empty mags. I am not sure if this is something that happened just because it is not broke in or not. Did not cause any problems, but it shouldn't do that. Overall I am happy with the purchase.

Buds was good fast and overall great prices ...as for the firearm itself flawless

Fast Shipping. Nice pistol overall. Hand cycled the new (cleaned) pistol 100 times then let it sit with the slide locked back overnite. At the range I could feel the back of the grip biting at my palm. It needs a wrap IMO. No jams or FTF after 200 rounds of Winchester White box. 50 were JHP. I trust it like I trust my Glock. Its all good to go.

Bought this as an off-duty carry weapon for cooler weather. Kahr recommends 200 rounds to break in. After 200 rounds I can say I've had 0 malfunctions using everything from cheap steel case fmj through Federal HST ammo. It's so light and compact,yet is a breeze to shoot, that I may switch to full time carry. It uses standard 1911 magazines flawlessly so I can carry 15 rounds of 45 with no effort at all. Bud's service and delivery were second to none and I'm now loving this Kahr. Thanks Bud's.

I purchased my Kahr cw45 on a Tuesday from bud's and it was ready at my FFL the following Monday. Buds always does great business in my opinion. This is my first experience with Kahr arms and I was not disappointed. Keep in mind that Kahr recommends that you use the slide release and do not rack the slide to chamber a round. The springs and fittings are very tight and do need a period of "break in"(200rds). Took my cw45 to the range and I didn't have any problems with it. I will say that the bar dot sights are a little strange and I was shooting low until I figured how to use them. Overall the cw45 is a great carry weapon. Very thin and lightweight with a total of 7 rounds of 45acp for less than $300. If your thinking about purchasing this firearm, I would recommend it for ccw. Thanks buds for wonderful service...

I really wanted to love this gun I love the caliber its chambered in I love the Aesthetics of the gun it is a nice 2-tone gun to look at and ergonomically the gun was perfect but I could not produce the type of accuracy making this gun a solid carry piece for me so in the end I sold it to a friend so my suggestion is to try before you buy but buds did a great job with shipping this gun out to me in a reasonable amount of time and the transaction went smoothly

I was disappointed in how this firearm worked out of the box. The first time I tried to chamber a round, the round would not go all the way in battery and the slide locked and I could not rack it. I had to take it to a gunsmith to have it cleared. I took it to the range and the same thing occurred again, but I was able to force the slide open and clear the round I tried the same operation with only 5 rounds in the 6 round factory original magazine, this seemed to help. I also purchased another after market Kahr CW45 (K625) magazine and the same problem occurred (would only rack and load round in chamber with 5 rounds loaded in magazine). I was finally able to shoot 50 rounds through it. Before going to the range I broke the gun down and visibly inspected it. After going to the range I field stripped it and cleaned it thoroughly. I will take it back to the range and see if it is just a break in problem (I hope so). I would like to be able to use the gun as my EDC, but if I can't trust it to function properly, I'm not sure I'll be able to. I did a lot of research before I purchased the gun and got the impression it was well built and reliable -- not so sure now. The price from Bud's was very reasonable. But, if it is not reliable, it's not a good deal.
