Kahr CW9 Overview

The “perfect” concealed carry pistol is usually a compromise of size, caliber and also capability. Each and every shooter needs to make his or her personal choice on what they deem most important. Fortunately, the industry is wide open and also suppliers are normally trying to turn out guns that fulfils the need of the buying customers.



The CW9 is a single stack 9mm pistol with a polymer frame and stainless-steel slide and barrel. The frame is black, and the slide has a matte stainless finish. The sights are the traditional dot front, bar rear design found on other Kahr pistols. The front sight is polymer and fixed onto the slide. The rear slide is steel and dovetailed. The rear steel sight enables the shooter to use the view to rack the slide with one hand when performing one hand reloads and failure clearing drills.

The magazine is stainless steel with a polymer baseplate. The magazine does not differ from the mag from the Kahr P-series of pistols, and so finding spares should not be an issue. The CW9 sends with a single magazine only, inkeeping with the effort to keep the overall cost of the pistol down.



The Kahr CW9 may perhaps be in the company’s budget collection, but it worked smoothly and effectively, and was actually quite accurate. Stability was 100% with a broad array of ammunition, in addition to it was quite easy shooting.
