Default Cw45 ccw

All you CW45 owners out there please let me know honestly if you are having any problems carrying this pistol for CCW. Want to purchase one but thinking it might be too big for CCW. Really want some honest opinions! Thanks

I just recently purchased a cw45 and it has replaced my Glock 19 as my daily carry weapon. I think it is much more comfortable concealed in my belt line then my Glock.. I love my new Karh

I carry mine at about 5:00 in Remora holster, very few problems, mostly that the handle prints when I bend over at the waist, so I try to bend at the knees when looking on the lower shelves of stores and stuff. Other than that it conceals very well.

If you think the CW45 is too big for CCW, I have to wonder what you're comparing to it.
Yes, you can get smaller, lighter guns but you'll give up either caliber or capacity.

I carry my P45 in a UBG Regulator OWB holster at the 3:00 position. With an untucked shirt covers quite good. I am really impressed with this holster, keeps the gun tight to the body and snaps on and off.

IMO any kahr 45 is gonna be a waiste carry gun, so weight should be a factor, size, i. e. CW, PM, P. each has its plus's, but each will be on ur waiste. I don't own any kahr 45, so I am surmising.... No doubt our forum 45 members know what is the best carry rig to make it more pleasant and concealaable..

I carry my CW45 in a Crossbreed Supertuck around 3:30-4 o'clock 12-14 hours a day. I'm 5'10" and 170 pounds and I feel like it conceals pretty well. I did do the flush mount mag mod and feel like that helped a lot!

I have a P45 that gets carried frequently (I also tend to carry a service sized pistol, and rotate frequently), my wife carries her CW45 everyday. There are some really loose pants that if I'm knocking around the house I can conceal both or either well enough with in the pocket. Jocko had it right this is a belt gun, and it does magnificently well in that role. Learn how to carry a weapon with a good holster, and at least one reload. Little time spent actually carrying the gun and you'll be fine, don't forget to do the Wally walk, it helps get you past those little things.

I ordered an IWB holster from PJ's. I should be getting it in a week. Everyone has nothing but good things to say about his holsters. Being Kydex, it's nice and thin, whick helps with concealment.

I carry my LCP in my pocket, but my LCP in an IWB holster. My new CW45 is replacing my LC9. I just decided I wanted the extra firepower.
