Finally got time yesterday to take my new-to-me CW40 to the range yesterday after a small gun shopping spree. Stocked up on a couple different types of ammo, some 155, 165, and 180gr defense and range ammo and fired a couple hundred through it. Flawless functioning. Ate everything that came through, even mismatched magazines. I tried to get the gun to malfunction, but it wouldn't. Shot limp wristed, still ejected. My gf shot it having never shot anything but 9mm, and didn't have a problem with it. Gun was surprisingly easy to control. After firing a few shots and getting used it, even rapid fired grouped easily. Got a new Desantis Sof-Tuck holster that carries the gun super nice as well. I thought it would just tide me over until I could order a custom holster but it's going to work a lot more than temporary use. Sits nice, tuckable, clip surprised me with how well it held the holster being an under the belt J clip, and the gun stayed in place. Although, Desanti's ships the holster with Torx head screws for the adjustments, but an allen wrench for the supplied tool. Being an engineer and mechanic, I call that a fail. Going to locate night sights in the next few days and get those ordered.
My one complaint, My rear sight is off. First few rounds scattered trying to get used to sights on it and new gun, but once I did, my shots were still off. Still in the target but not where I was aiming. I moved the target in and at 15ft, I was still low and left. I noticed my rear sight is offset to count for going left, so I can adjust that, but gotta figure out why it's shooting low too. The gun smith here locally should be able to offer some insight when I get my night sights put on I hope. Gun is awesome, no obvious damage, straight barrel, just low shots. So I'm at a loss. But I managed to decapitate a silhouette target. Although I was going for head shots.
Either way, my verdict, this gun is awesome. Finally carried it, and multiple occasions, I forgot the gun was there. Contrary to my Glocks and Rugers, who constantly remind you they're hanging off your belt.
