After much internal debate, I traded my Springfield XD 9SC for a CW9. I figured that the 16 rounds were not going to do me any good if I never carried them. I really liked the XD, but it was like a boat anchor. I read all the time about how people carry full size this and that, but I never figured it out. I wanted something more robust than my P3AT for those special occasions, so the Kahr was the logical choice.
I have always lusted after Kahrs because they are so thin, and now I wonder what took me so long. This gun is amazing. It was used, but in like new conditon, so I think it only had a few hundred rounds through it, so it was ready to go. At the range, it performed without a hitch, swallowing range junk and a selection of Federal defense loads, including 147g HST. Felt recoil was incredibly light, which surprised me. The trigger is very smooth and not an issue for me. I pretty much hit what I was aiming at, but since I am not a "target" shooter, it is plenty good for it's intended purpose.
There is not a gun in production that does not have a long list of naysayers, and the Kahr is no exception, but for my money, it is an extremely fine piece of equipment and I expect a long and happy relationship.
