I've had a P9 Covert for over a year now, which came about after I sold off the "snappier" P40 Covert, the smaller P380, and the PM9 before that (to my daughter's boyfriend/soon to be son-in-law). (Yup, sorta went "Kahr Krazy" a couple of years ago...) Now I've settled down some and I really love the Covert model. With the Wolff 5# Striker Spring installed in it, I am now hitting clay birds on the berm at 25 yards -- no, not every time, but scaring them on most shots and hitting WAY more than I would ever hit before the spring change, or with the snappy P40 Covert.
Anyway, I just picked up a used CW9 that looks like it's been shot very little, and it had a 2nd Mag included and a Hogue wrap-around grip on it. So for $350 "little used" out the door, I figured I just couldn't go wrong.
I'm planning to use this as a backup to my P9 Covert, and will have this Kahr 9mm to stash somewhere conveniently in the house, for those times I may not be carrying the Covert. That way, it's the same manual-of-arms, ammo, fit, feel and trigger pull. Holsters too, if needed. While it wouldn't work as well for IWB or concealed carry, I do have to admit the taller grip and having room enough for the pinky is kind of nice too.
After cleaning her up and doing the spring change the other night, I got her out to the range yesterday and here's the results of the "1st 3 Shot Group" with my CW9...

Not too bad, eh?!?
Now I can only hope my shots on target group do that well!
At first, they weren't... But that was with a clean bore, and the more that I shot her, I found that I started to hit better. So maybe she won't be a "Clean Queen" and I'll just "keep her dirty" -- but easily accessible.
I have to say, I really love my nice P9 Covert, but for the money, I'm sure this CW9 "poorer cousin" will also become a fond member of my Kahr family -- now that I'm all done with selling them off (or at least I think so...).
Tight groups!
