Hi all,
New member here.
I went round and round with Kahr back in the nineties. I had one of the first K9's. Loved it but hated the blue finish. Then a nickel K40 that had a chamber that was way too tight. At the first range session is locked up tight slightly out of battery. An MK9 was next and had several reliability issues. Then a stainless K40 that was a good gun. I just got tired of it and traded it long ago. I had gotten soured on Kahr. In hindsight part of it was an issue with me going through the proper break-in procedure.
During some recent financial turmoil I had gotten rid of most of my guns. Now as I get closer to the light at the end of the tunnel I'm shopping for a new EDC.
I tried a rental CW45 today and loved it. The same, easy trigger action that I fell in love with 15 years ago. Still flat and compact. And a .45. I love the 9mm but appreciate the more forgiving ammo selection in .45.
I hadn't been shooting for a long time so I ran the target to just past three yards. By the second magazine the center of the target was mostly gone. Then I got cocky and started on hammers and controlled pairs. The hammers were an 1-2" apart and most of the controlled pairs were touching. I'm not even that great of a shot.
I think I'm in love with the CW45. As the money loosens up I think I'll pick one of these up, go through the break-in procedure very carefully and see how it shakes out. The lube and break-in stickies look to be invaluable.
Add an IWB, some extra mags and as much ammo as I can afford and I'll be in fine shape.
I guess I'm back!
