first time out with new cw9

[white08gt]

let me start by saying i read alot of the posts. i did the 10 point lube and read about dotting the eye on my sight picture. had no hiccups at the range with cheap orange box reloads. after figuring out my grip on small frame with large hands it was very accurate. no problems with hitting low, just had to get use to the long trigger pull compared to my Browning Hi Power. i know i have a keeper, only put 50 rounds and work slick as a button. 150 rounds more to go for breakend. if i could find some more rounds it will be back to the range. this forum is great read for a new Kahr owner.

That's great! Welcome to the forum and here's some more info if you haven't seen it, yet:

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.

There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!

I transitioned from a CW45 to a PM9 so the trigger pull on the 9mm seemed short in comparison :).

Enjoy.

when actually they are identical. Has to be the bigger frame that makes it seem that way..ur better off IMO with the 9 though

The .45 will get there and it will be AT LEAST .45" WITHOUT having to expand as the wussy .354" or so 9mm at HALF the weight!
