The Kahr Arms CW9: Serious Concealed Carry Capability
The Kahr Arms CW9 represents the company's commitment to producing genuinely concealable defensive pistols without compromise. This is a purpose-built carry gun for those who understand that the best firearm is the one you'll actually have with you.
Design and Operation
The CW9 employs a trigger-cocking double-action-only mechanism with a lock-breech design and Browning-type recoil lug. This operational system has proven itself across decades of service use. A passive striker block provides additional safety assurance, and notably, there is no magazine disconnect—the pistol will fire with an empty magazine well, a feature preferred by serious shooters.
Dimensions and Carry Characteristics
At 5.9 inches in overall length and 4.5 inches in height, the CW9 fits the hand properly while remaining genuinely pocketable. The slide width of 0.90 inches ensures minimal printing under clothing. Total weight of 15.8 ounces means you'll actually carry it—weight that disappears in a quality holster.
Sights and Controls
The pistol features drift-adjustable white bar-dot combat sights. The rear sight is pinned in a polymer front sight, providing a sight picture that's both fast and reliable in defensive situations.
