New Guy from NM

[ballistic_ken]

Hello from the 4 Corners area of NM!

Just got a CW9 and went to reading this forum. No chance to shoot it yet, but went through & did the 10 point lube job.

Not my first Kahr, traded for a PM9 a while back and traded it off again never having shot it. Big mistake I see now.

Sold my G26 to get the CW9, thin is in I guess. I lost a bunch of weight and couldn't conceal the fat bastard Glock quite as well.

Next step is a good AIWB holster & XS tritium small dot sights.

Thanks for a great forum!

Welcome to the forum, Ken. That's a great sized Kahr. I have the P9 and K9... and P40... all about that size. Here's some some I've compiled for help.

I'm familiar with the area. My wife's folks live between Bayfield and Durango and we've visited the 4 Corners area a lot. Memorable are the nights north of Santa Fe on the way by Pagosa. We used to stop and sleep in the van in the vicinity of Chama. The nights were cool/cold and the skies were beautiful at night... just the stars for light and you could see the Milky Way... awesome!

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!
