Cw9 Flush fit magazine

[kahrbw9]

Has anyone tried to use the pm9 metal magazine base or floor plate on their cw9?

Is there an article on here?

Pictures are welcome.

Yes, it will fit...but it won't be flush as it is not flush in the PM9.
You need the floor plate AND the retainer.

Sorry, I can't watch a 10 min vid that starts out with someone rambling on about themselves, showing nothing.

That’s fine but you don’t have to apologize to me. In the first place it’s not my video and in the second I did not post the video for you, it was attached to kahrbw9 post showing that it can be done and the amount of gap between the plate and magazine. Hopefully he found it informative.

Thank you oldsalt for the video.gb6491 thanks for the picture.
Everyone's input is greatly appreciated.

I prefer the metal base plates myself. Alas I wont pay the price to change out my magazines.

Thanks for reading my post;)

Here's a pic of MY cut down extended mag base plate on a PM9, that will work on a CW9 too...no gap:

old salt it looks like we have the same taste.
I have a glock 19 kahr cw9 ruger lcp and a mossberg 590a1.

[Old Salt]

Almost pick up a Glock 19 but decided to get a couple 8 round magazines for my CW9 instead. All my Kahr’s are very comfortable when I carry any of them in my IWB holster and my PM9 has replaced the LCP for pocket carry.

Is it just me or is that a non mim slide stop on that cw9 greg.I dind't think that was possible.

You've got a good eye, that is indeed a P9 slide stop in my CW9. There's nothing really wrong with the MIM stop, I just like the look of the "P" series stop better. I've have a P45 stop in my CW45 as well.:)

I may have to try my PM9 stop in my CW9

Is there any modification to do this part exchange.Because I always thought and read that it doesn't work.But indeed it does.

No modifications were needed; it was a straight swap and neither one has given me a lick of trouble.

I sure liked that officers .45 magazine. I believe a flush fit 9mm mag for the CW9 would sell pretty well. Has anyone used a grinder to knock that bevel down some? I guess the protruding bevel strengthens the plastic.

Tilos has a good example of cutting down an extended pm. Given that Kahr wants to rip off their customers for $17.60 + shipping, I feel inclined to modify my Kahr 7-9 plastic base and floor plate. If I can get rid of some of that flange, it will be an improvement. I would think that a manufacturer of mags for small grip 1911 ultra carry 9mms might see opportunity for a easy entry product. Kahr has their head buried in the sand.
