The Kahr Arms CW9 is a sleek and efficient semi-automatic pistol, designed for personal defense and concealed carry, featuring a 3.6-inch barrel and coming in a black and stainless finish. This model features a black polymer frame and matte stainless steel slide, with textured polymer grips. With a total length of 5.9 inches, a height of 4.5 inches, and a slim slide width of only .90 inches, it weighs just 15.8 ounces without the magazine, making it an exceptionally lightweight option for everyday carry.
The CW9 is chambered in 9mm with a capacity of 7, features trigger-cocking double-action-only operation with lock breech, Browning-type recoil lug, passive striker block, and no magazine disconnect. The white bar-dot combat rear sight and pinned in polymer front sight ensure easy and accurate target acquisition. The rear sight is drift adjustable, and it ships with one 7-round stainless steel magazine.
The trigger pull is long but very smooth and not heavy, and Kahr guns are well-known for their buttery smooth trigger pull. The double-action-only trigger is incredibly smooth, with the same trigger pull and poundage across all Kahr models, measuring approximately 6.5 pounds consistently. The CW9 represents Kahr’s “CW” line—cost-efficient counterparts to the brand’s premium “P” series.
