Hey guys/gals, new to the forms and new to Kahr. First off, LOVE THIS GUN. The only issue i have had was the slide lock spring being bent (my fault for not reading the Manuel). Got that fixed within 5 minutes of receiving the replacement from Kahr (great CS also). coming from an XD 5" tact to this little one is a big adjustment and i am still working on my break end period. I have read the lube chart, and new members area. I will be doing the slide stop mod probally my next day off to make it look smoother with less jagged edges. Well back tot he point , what type of grips would you recommend for the CW40 (which BTW i added a date for my serial number that i got from Jay on the thread). I would like your input before i just start buying grips and not liking what i get. Thanks and look forwad to get many more Kahr to my family

I went the low cost way with free used i.75" inner tube from the local bike shop.

It is not the pretest but tend to bet great coverage and won't wear off or move around .

I put Talon Grips on my CM9. They are thin, thin enough that my CT laser installed over top of them. I have the rubberized. Good luck with your choice.

I have grips from Foxx Holsters on my CW45. Very comfortable, good quality and price, plus free shipping.

Many on these pages recommend the 1.75" bicycle tube. The grips on my CM9 & CW45 both felt fine in my hand but I wanted the feel of something other than plastic. I tried the tube before ordering any adhesive grips and have been perfectly satisfied with the non-slip and texture of the bike tubes.

I've been thinking about doing the inner tube thang, I might have to try it this week.

No as prudy as some but the price is right. Glad it working out for you.

Inner tube, I have tried the houge jr and found that the inner tube is a better cheaper choice especially if your daughter catches a flat and you have to buy a new inner tube.

+1 for the Talon rubberized. Just make sure you follow the directions and heat the grip onto the frame w/the hair dryer. Works well and the factory cheez grader grip comes through just enough to add to the Talon.

Handall Jr. on all my Kahrs and Keltecs-5 bucks a piece and I like the little "pinky" rest especially on my CW40!!!! ;-)

It seems to help reducing the amount of gun flip during recoil.

Innertube works great. Easier to draw also. I use a pocket holster for my CW40.

Do the Talons come witht he K logo precut? Meaning the circle is already cut out so you can see the K logo throught he grip?

The Handall jr slip on grip cover works great and is inexpensive. There is also an excellent disassembly/assembly video on the Kahr site.

I use the Hogue rubber grip with palm swell on my CW40. Fits perfect in my hand.

I think I have a Hogue Handall Jr grip somewhere. I bought it for my Shield but ended up getting an adhesive grip from tractiongrips.com Very similar to Talons (which are great...if you think the Kahr grips are rough, try the Springfield Armory xDs lol)

I'll try the Handall but will probably end up with either a Talon or Traction Grip as they add just about zero to the width of the grip

I tried the inner tube idea and really like the feel. Then, I found some great ones at a local tactical shop near where I live, they're called GripHuggers. They're not much more than an inner tube but with some texture and nice seems around the ends. They fit real tight, and perfect. I love 'em. Keep your eye on this post I'll add a picture as soon as I'm allowed.
Only problem is I can't seem to find them on the Internet or anywhere else.

I use talons and love them. Thin and sticky enough to get a good grip. My talons are rubberized and the k logo isn't cut out. I like the k not being cut out.

I went with the Handall, Was inexpensive and I like the way it feels in my hand. A bicycle tube is about the same thing, without the little protrusion for your finger out front, and I think the Handall has some adds some padding in the back. I don't like stick on stuff, because of the residue it leaves if you remove them.

I ended up ordering a Talon grip. Cannot go wrong with Talon

I use 3m stair tread tape. It is grey in color, which I like, and lumpy textured, kinda soft. This stuff sticks good and don't leave a residue when ya remove it!!
