Love CW9

[rkirk]

I thought I would throw this decision/intent out there to see if anyone else has made this choice. I Love my CW9 and am saving to buy another CW9. I like to have a pair of my carry pistols. I will also consider a P9 if I save enough for the price difference. What do you guys and gals think?

LOL I can relate. I've got a somewhat similar situation.....I'm awaiting my first Kahr ever, the P9 and already I'm thinking of getting a CW9 also...
Just trying to come up with some reasons other than I just want it. LOL
Back up to the back up?
Ummmmmm, it can share the workload at the range with the P9 thereby both will last longer?
Ehhhhh, extra house gun, in another room?
Us gun people will try to think of anything to try to justify getting another gun.
Oh yeah, I've got 2 .40S&W so now I should have 2 9mm, right? It rounds out the collection. :eek:

I would now save for the P9, only because I wonder why two cw9's.

[RogerP9fan]

Oh, just thought of two more, well actually the first reason is what you said.
1) Back up to the carry gun, just in case.
2) Politics. Who knows what the gun laws will be in the future. Better get em now.

I think I'll pull the trigger and go ahead and get the CW9.

(no pun intended)

[jreXD9]

then you'll need their big brother, the CW45....my stable includes a PM9, a CW9 and a CW45.

Well another CW9 because $400 beats $650! I guess now that I have a CW9, I should ask how much difference is there between the CW9 and P9? Or any of the P models? I almost bought a PM9, but worried about my ability to control the PM9 because the grip leaves my pinkie under the grip. I like the grip length of the CW9 and P9. Thats just me, I always learn lots from other shooters experience and comments. Keep them coming!

Bud's has the TP45 for $430 and the CW45 for $438. Nothing like a little variety.

heh, if u like the cw series, then indeed just stick with it. the cw45 would make a nice change to have around. There is a differencein feel of a cw series gun and a PM series gun. The PM is definitely pocketable, the CW is marginal, depends on the caliber, but as I write this,,,, I know some cw45 person will post that he pocket carrys his cw45 with ease, so I will just say the PM9 is more pocketable than all the cw kahrs or P kahrs..

jre, I thought about the Big 45 cause of it's stopping power. But what about crazy recoil? Bigger sized pistol compared to 9mm,
Used to wonder if 9mm has enough stopping power until I saw this video. You gotta check the very end of the video!

port it:)

[jfrey]

Get the CW9 instead of the P9 and spend the difference on ammo, you won't be sorry.

For any who are wondering, I found the recoil of a CW45 to be about the same as my G36. Neither is too much of a hand full with normal ammo. You put some Cor-Bon ammo in either one and things change a little bit.

[RogerP9fan]

Does 9mm+P have alot more recoil than regular SD 9mm?

[deadhead1971]

Jocko-

I have been meaning to bring this up. I can't confirm this, but a gun buddy says if you port a gun, you will absolutely and positively blow your eardrums out if you actually have to fire the gun in self defense where you probably won't be wearing ear protection. He says a ported gun is a much louder gun and could possibly damage your ears.

What do you think?

[deadhead1971]

Roger-

For me....

The +P 124 grain speer gold dots did not have that much more recoil than standard pressure ammo. The +P 100 grain pow'r ball stuff definately had more recoil.

The +P 124 grain speer gold dots did not have that much more recoil than standard pressure ammo. The +P 100 grain pow'r ball stuff definately had more recoil.

I agree 100% about the +P speer but have no experiance with pow'rball ammo. I can barely tell the difference in teh CW9 from straight up WWB and the Gold Dots.

I carry power ball in my PM9 and also 124 grain gold dot. I shoot powerball in my P380 as it is just such a reliable feeding round. Just to many damn good rounds out there to condemn any one IMO. Shoot what feed perfect and what shoots POA the best for u also..

[RogerP9fan]

Thanks guys, but of course, right now, I can't find Gold Dot 124+P anywhere in the western hemisphere. Mabe Europe? Asia? I don't know guys.....

Found the GD 124+P Appeciate everyone's take on the recoil issue, that's good to hear about my chosen SD round. Can't wait to find out for myself as I have regular GD 124 also and just received my final email from Bud's! My P9 has shipped! :)
