Hi there!

I just picked up a CW9 today - my first Kahr. I sold my Keltec PF9 to buy the Kahr and can already tell that I did the right thing. My older son is also getting a CW9 on Wednesday and we have an appointment to go and perforate some paper and cardboard on the weekend.

I've already done the Proper Prep from the sticky and I'm glad such a resource exists. I also did one extra thing that wasn't listed - I sanded off all of the polymer threads/strings that were still attached at various points to make the whole thing smoother.

Now, about me. I'm an OF, retired from Gummint work, married and have two grown sons. Older son is a grad student and younger one is a Gunsmith.

Nowadays I work part-time at a pawn and gun shop for fun and pocket money. This allows me to spend even more of my income on guns than I would otherwise. :D But it mostly keeps me out of trouble.

Previously I've primarily owned Sigs and still have a number of them kicking around the house. I didn't like their small guns and the new P224 is just too dang expensive. I was playing with a CW40 at work and liked the way it felt but I don't like .40 cal rounds - I prefer 9mm. I found a source for some blem CW9's at a great price so I ordered three of them. One for my older son, one for me and one for stock. Seemed like a reasonable thing to do.

So, that's my intro. Glad to meet y'all and I'm sure I'll be hanging around here quite a bit.

Oh yeah, I tend to ramble sometimes...

Ramblings good. No shame in that.

My wife has often told me it just won't work for me to work at anyplace that sells guns or accessories. I'd have to work and give them my check and more. We can't eat guns she says. I told her we could live on happiness but she didn't buy that either. Wench!

Welcome. Well look forward to some good range reports.

You better watch that Bawanna.. Same rule goes for jlottmc....He can not work at a gun store. We wouldn't ever eat he'd be buying so much stuff with his check.
