The dreaded mag gap issue

[Steve0]

I hate the problem with not being able to have a flush mag with my CW9 and I know many people agree with me. I came across this guy who machined his mag to fit right (http://www.defensivecarry.com/forum/defensive-carry-guns/104388-pieced-together-custom-polished-kahr-p9-2.html). This post was from awhile ago so I feel like I am missing something. Is there somewhere that I can buy magazines for my cw9 that will fit like this? Seems like it should be such a simple solution.

You dont want them to fit tight. They are made with a gap by design.

I guess I am just stupid or to fokking old but my two PMJ9 have the DREADED MAG GAP thing and in over 5 years of carrying and shootin it, I honeslty never gave it one thought. If uhve that dreaded gap and can't live with it, there has been numerous fixes on this forum that might make u happy..

Problem is....

Its there by design. Kahr's are specialized, designed for carry, personal defense, safety, dependability, ease of use, and deep concealment.

When the magazine fits "just so" and is flush with the frame there is zero room for overtravel, as may be needed to ensure proper lock in. Justin Moon designed any potential issue out of the pistol by leaving adequate gap.

More importantly - there is room to GRAB the magazine and withdraw it manually, if for some reason you press the release and nothing happens. This can be the case with failed ammunition, or some cycling mishap. To be able to with draw the magazine easily is an essential feature of a defensive deep concealment pistol.

The gap is there on purpose.

I think I've seen every fix on here but not a nice one except for on the .45 with a 1911 mag. Just thought someone that hasn't posted one might have found or seen something.
