Night sight suggestions?

[gonewinchester]

Are the a lot of aftermark night sights for a cw9 or is it limited like only a few companys make them?

You will probably find it easiest to see all of the available sights for Kahr pistols listed on the Kahr website. http://www.kahr.com/Sights/Sights.asp

You can purchase them elsewhere, but you won't find anything in the wider market that is not listed at that Kahr site link.

Best of luck!

I like the xs sight since I am good with the factory sights, but I'll have to send the gun in or get a gunsmith to put in the rear sight since it is the old dovetail.

[gonewinchester]

Not sure I wanna send it in right away since it is my only handgun right now

I thought about the trijicon sights but I really like the line on the rear sight vs the dots...guess ill just have to see what the local gunsmith can do and how long it could take to get done

You could go with just a front night sight (very DIY friendly on the "C" series Kahrs): http://www.kahr.com/Sights/Kahr-CWCM-Trijicon-Front-Sight-KitKWTFNSKT.asp

+1. I am beginning to prefer just a front night sight and a blackened rear sight.

IMHO night sites on a defensive subcompact carry pistol are a waste of money. Most gun fights occur at close quarters and are point and shoot affairs. If you take the time to acquire the sights your probably going to wind up a dead man. After the first shot the sights will be imprinted on your retina from the muzzle flash and you won't be able to see the sights for a second shot. Don't take my word for it. Try shooting in the dark. For the total effect don't wear ear protection for the test, either.

I agree to a point, and a person shouldn't rely on only the night sight for the shot. The 3 dot isn't designed for accuracy just a aid. Still should use the actual "iron sights". My only thing is I like the night sights for two reasons. A helps me see my gun when I wake up from a slumber in the dark. B. In low light conditions not necessarily dark I can aim better. If I'm target shooting, shooting wild animals or two legged creatures. My theory is they can't do anything but help.

I have been to both combat zones fighting house to house. I'm trying to make this better for my wife since she is alone at night when I'm at work. Not to much better for me but for her

I like the picture. Sights look good. Thanks for sharing the picture. I have the same grips on my gun.

Have you considered installing a laser on your CW9 for her?

I have CTC laser guards on both my CM9 and my wifes CW9. They are easy to self install, work well, and are automatically activated when you grip the gun.
I also have front night sights only (Trijicons) on both of them as well.
