I think you mean use the slide lock release to chamber rather than sling shot.

That is what Kahr recommends. After break in you should be able to load either way.

and es, yu want to load from the mag. don't drop one in the chamber and drop the slide unless you got spare extractors.

for 7+1, load mag, chamber a round, remov mag, and top off.

enjoy it, i know i am!

I agree the best way to do it.

a new kahr, u shouldhave a manual andit so tells you what the other people told you to do. U can hand rack also but it takes alittle time to get the hang of it, best to use the slide lock lever to load that first round. when at the range do both drills until u can do both correctly EVERY TIME.

Ur OK, if u don't have a manual go to the kahr webb site and just down load the manual.

being ur new here, u should review to good stickys on the kahr tech sectionl.

Another way to load your is to put 1 round in the mag,load then just load the mag. I prefer this way as nothing is disturbed in the mag from loading the gun with the 1 round then there is a freshly loaded mag inserted into the gun. Just my opinion.

Just wanna say... the manual says things, which may be for reasons not immediately clear, and also to CYA at times.

The no slingshot rule... I think is CYA, to give them an out, and to provide consistency, for folks who cannot load the chamber using the slingshot method.

Single loading... breaking extractors? I doubt it. The Kahr extractor is as beefy as they come. Close your slide on an empty round. Kick the slide in the tail, and see how much it takes to get the extractor to flip over the rim. If you have a Kahr 45, it takes very very little! If you have a 9mm, it takes a bit more, but not a whole lot. Just a swift kick in the butt. So why no loading that way? Consistency. Also, you have a potential for projectile setback... can happen, does happen (I'll show ya if you want). Sort of the reverse bullet puller effect, and its mitigated a whole lot by stripping a round from the magazine.

I say, do it by the book (ahem).

Thats what I have been doing too.

I can't slingshot any rounds with my sd ammo anyway. It gets stuck on the feed ramp. The practice rounds don't though.

Congrats on the new CW9!

Lock the slide back.
Load a mag.
Release slide lock.
Now, release the mag and load another round.
Load the mag.

Now you got 7+1

At first I was trying to put the +1 without the mag and slide release, and it just don't work that way. The ejector didn't want to catch right.

in time, you ad the gun have yet to mate up totally right yet. It will come to you, just keep working at it at the range. U should know how to clear a jam or misfire in case of an emergency..

I done it both ways, it didn't matter on Mine....

I prolly shouldn't be practicing it with live ammo at the house, but after reading this and trying it a few times, I started getting it to work. Maybe I was riding the slide more than I thought. :/ I will definitely have to work more on it at the range. I just keeping using all my ammo. :) I got to start stock piling again. But, I haven't had problems clearing jams with the Federal Champion practice ammo or WWB. Not that I've had too many problems anyway. So, I thought it was just the shape or length of the Federal Home Defense giving me problems. I need to go back to thinking it's always my fault. :) It's more likely.

I had trouble sling slotting my CW9 at first, after 500 or so rounds it was easy. Give it some time it will loosen up real nice after a few trips to the range.

Enjoy your CW9 it's one heck of a nice gun
