I am impressed! Took my new cw9 to the range today right out of the box to break it in. Shot 4boxes of ammo of 4different brands and this little gun didn't miss a beat. Even in rapid fire. It ate everything. I also shot some spear gold dot and it didn't have any problems with that either. didn't even clean the gun before using.
I also have to say that at 25 feet this gun was more accurate than I ever expected. Almost effortless to put it in the circle. I am not sure how they do it but recoil was nothing at all. It felt the same as my full size XD9.
I purchased a SW bodyguard 380 for carry but if I can find the right IWB holster, it may find it's way into my pants. Anyway, just wanted to state my experience as this site helped me make my decision to get the kahr after all.

Welcome to the forum. the CW9 is a really nice gun. I had one until I traded it on a CM9 and I still miss it even though my CM9 runs just as good. My CW9 was a real straight shooter too.

Welcome and congratulations on the new CW9. I had a very similar experience with my CW9. Only two miss feeds in the first three magazines. Then nothing but flawless after that! OWB and IWB the pistol carries really well! I could pocket carry in some shorts and Docker style pants. But everyone knew something big was in that pocket. So I bought a CM9 which does pocket carry some better. They are both great pistols and both very accurate. Most importantly they are carried.

Welcome.
That CW9 rides very nicely in an Bianchi Pro 100 IWB hoster. I put my new CW9 in one about two months ago and have been very happy with it.

Welcome to KahrTalk!
It is very encouraging to read positive range reports such as yours, regardless of brand or model. Have a PM9 that had an issue but with the help of folks and info posted here was able to get it up and running without it having to go back to Kahr.

Where on the holster clock do you carry that holster? Seeing as how it is zero cant, it probably draws easily but doesn't work beyond 3:00, does it?

I carry at 1:00 appendix. Because of a couple of surgeries, I just don't find 3:00 or 4:00 comfortable.
The flat CW9 feels OK... my M&P9 compact is a little bulky, but it still works for me.
