:D Very positive results after my first couple of range trips with my new CW40.
Surprisingly accurate for such a small gun... outshooting my Glock (until the skin got worn off of my hands!! :eek:) Got some pretty mean checking on the back of that grip don't they? Will have to do something about that.... have a Hogue Jr on the way, guys here seem to say they do a pretty good job.
Carries very well in a Supertuck... so much lighter than my Glock 23. The ST is a bit larger than necessary, but, makes wearing it all the time very effortless.
One issue that I encountered was feeding the first round from a full mag. Not sure if it was an ammo issue (Federal range stuff and some re-loads). When attempting to "sling-shot" the slide to load, it would cause the top round to "submarine" into the feed ramp. If I used the slide release, no problems. If I tapped the mag before inserting it to the gun, no problems. I'm chalking it up to a getting-to-know-you thing between me and the CW.
Only other issue is ... darned if I didn't get a lot of practice loading that one 6 round mag!!! Need to look for at least one more.. if not two or three more. Total rounds through it are now about 200 +/- of range ammo... and about 20-25 of Ranger T hollow point stuff. No fail to fire, no fail to eject. Just those few initial rounds loading up.
Glad to be part of the Kahr family. Once I get the grip issue fixed, I think it will be both a good carry piece and a decent range gun... am surprised at how accurate it is. (Not as good as my XDM, but about on par with the G-23).
Looking forward to seeing more of you guys here and learning more from you experienced Kahr owners!
