About the Kahr CW9

Kahr is known for making thin, single-stack, and highly-concealable handguns.  And while the brand is not universally well-known or loved...I had to find out myself when I found a deal online for $270.

One thing I also learned quickly is that Kahr's gun models get really confusing...

The big ones to keep in mind are:

• CW9 vs CM9: The CW9 has a longer barrel, longer grip, and more capacity.
• CW9 vs P9: Almost the same, but the P series is the more "premium" model with better aesthetics, barrel, and more.

Here's a good infographic that shows the two differences between the CW9 and PM9 (smaller but more premium).

Of all these...why did I gravitate towards the CW9?

Easy...it fit the best in my hand.  I actually managed to get a full grip.

The CM series would have left my pinkie tangling.

And what about the "premium" P9 ($670)?

I just didn't think it was worth almost $300 of a difference.  Sure...it looks better but functionally they are the same too me.  For the ranges you're shooting, I don't think the barrel will matter.
