Since I'm already logged in, and commenting on other posts, AND carrying the CW40 this week, just thought I'd give a plug for the CW front Trijicon night sight that Kahr is running for $30. With shipping, it was $37 to my mailbox.

The only thing that ever bothered me about my CW40's look was that plastic blade sitting out there on that metal slide. Looked like a domino standing on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Since all my other Kahrs are P's, and have the nice, dovetailed in metal front sights, the plastic one on the CW40 started bothering me after a couple of years during which I was very happy with all the other things about the CW40. It got so bad I was thinking about asking Kahr if a P40 slide would fit on the CW40, and if so, was prepared to go through that expense.

Installation was a breeze. And when I saw how easily that original plastic sight snapped off as part of the installation procedure, I was double glad I was putting the metal Trijicon on.

Looks great. Hope I don't get blasted for no for and after photos, or even an after photo, but trust me, it looks great. If pressed, I will try to post a photo. But it really looks great:). And works great after dark.

Now I am content with my CW40's look in the presence of my P's and PM's.

I went to Kahr.com looking for the price and could not find it. Am I not looking in the right place, the only ones I could find are the dove tail for $31, which will not fit my CW9 or am I just unlucky?

Thanks

Hopefully bonjorno2 is correct and getting the front Trijicon sight for "C" and "E" series guns as a separate item is still viable. If not, Dawson Precision offers front sights separately. They're a little more expensive, but there are those that seem to prefer them: http://www.dawsonprecision.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=SIGHTS+FRONT:Kahr+Fron t+Sights

I just bought the Trijicon Night Sight set for my CW9:

When I ordered them, the front sight alone was also available. Now, I don't see it either. Give Kahr a call.

Yes, the Kahr website is completely different than when I ordered the sight just last week. Go figure.

For those interested, here are the numbers and info off the invoice in the package I received:

SKU # - 034CW9

Description - Kahr CW/CM Front Trijicon Night Sight

Vendor Part No. - 034NW9 Trijicon

It looks great with the original rear sight, though of course that one is not a night sight. But at night, the front glow is very handy. I might add the rear some day, but right now I'm a happy camper.

There's multiple pages of sights. Look for the numbers at the top to the page and if I remember correctly the cw/cm front sight is the very last one
