Finally got my CW45!!!

[PasoCW45]

Hello All,

I finally got my CW45 from my son in Montana. Let’s say it was delivered by ex-sister-in-law Express!

WOW is my first and continuing reaction. This thing is wicked. Never had a .45 before, only a Taurus PT99 9mm years ago. I have not shot it yet (DAMN WORK) but will very soon. I have a set of Talon grips on order. I got the Rubber ones. I do not have huge hands (no laughing) so it feels awesome. It’s amazing they could put so much firepower into such a small package. My son ran a few rounds through it so it was a great excuse to tear it down and fondle.. I mean clean it!

Any suggestion for a holster? Not IWB but as concealable as possible.

Thanks to everyone on this board I am learning so much!

Well congratulations! It's always fun to get a new shootin' iron.

Mine runs like a champ.

Be sure & post a range report ASAP.

It's a sweet gun and gets sweeter as you break it in. I sure like mine. Tons of holster choices out there (too many really). I always carry mine IWB so can't give a recommendation. Lots of holster threads on here...enjoy!

You're really going to like that CW45. They shoot well. Clean it up and lube it up well first like you said, shoot FMJ for a couple of hundred rounds to get used to it, and you should really like it. I love mine.

Congrats on acquiring an excellent firearm.

Welcome to the forums.

Since my xds was recalled back to the motherland, my cw45 is taking it's place again.

I tend to carry my cw45 in iwb mode, so hopefully others can recommend what works for them. To help them help you, how are you wanting to carry, something like OWB, appendix, small of back or ???

Am sure you will enjoy the cw45 when you can get it out on the range. Mine sure does well.

Congrats. The CW45 is my favorite carry pistol.

Enjoy it!

CW45, Sideguard IWB holster and 1911 officer mags work for me.

dbracin,
Which 1911 mag is that, specifically? Does it lock the slide back when empty? Any issues with function at all? Thanks

I'm using ACT officer 7 round mags with my CW45, they work and lock the slide back on the last round fired.

Did you have to alter the magazine?

You don't have to alter the 7 round ACT mag.

[cltyus1]

Do you have a direct link for it?

Do the mags fit flush?

Very close. They don't stick out much farther than the factory mag.

They don't look bad like an extended Kahr mag if that's what you're asking. They're not awkward to use at all.

Ok, I'm trying to find a place to order one, thank you guys

My ACT officer mags mags work 100 percent without any modification, I ordered them, got them in the mail, loaded them up, and BLAP BLAP BLAP BLAP , they work, locks the slide back when they are empty , cheaper than the $45 plus Kahr factory mags plus they hold one more round.

I don't mind them not fitting flush!

Did you order from that same site? How much were they?

I ordered them from the guy everyone here recommended, I can't remember the name of the site but I think they were $19 or $21 a piece, he has cheaper ones but I wanted the shiney nickle joints :D

[Decado]

Yes, I ordered from the link that was posted on page 2, shipping was fast!

[cltyus1]

It won't let me click on a magazine to order it
