I had a cw 9 and loved it, nice size very reliable accurate enough, and then they came out with their 45 I sold the cw9 and bought the 45, the 45 is only a tiny bit bigger but if your hands have any size to them, the 45 feels better. the 45 also seems easier to control compared to 9mm +p recoil, maybe just a grip thing, I am very happy with kahr, no problems of any kind. dune
