Kahr CW9 Slide-CM9 Frame

[ferrariboy4]

I know a lot of people have cut a CW9 frame to fit CM9 magazines. I've cut my CT9 frame to take CW9 magazines.

My question though is, without cutting, will a CW9 slide fit on a CM9 frame so that the CW9 recoil spring will not be exposed? Is the CM9 dust cover long enough? Also same questions in regards to a CT9 slide on a CW9 frame that hasn't been cut. Anybody who has both and willing to take pictures would be greatly appreciated.

I have both and actually tried to do what you suggested and the slide got stuck and I almost panicked. I don't think there's enough compatibility in parts to do this.

Interesting, I would think all the parts are compatible since the biggest difference is between the length of the grip and dust cover. Oh well, I was in no way wanting to put any innocent pistols at risk. Glad you didn't do any damage to your guns.

The recoil spring hood is in a different position on the twocslides. No workee.

The barrels are different and won't lock up with the slides.

I posted lots of pictures of PM9 and P9 and K9 barrels:

There are pictures and a discussion of the frames and slide, too.
