Forum is very timely for me. I have been considering a CW40 and any and all info on this firearm and kahr in general is appriciated. I am a long time gun owner have enjoyed many of the larger framed auto and revolvers. I guess i got the bug for a smaller easier to conceal firearm, and yes I have a conceal carry permit. Looking forward to learning both the good and bad from other kahr owners. Hope I can also be a contributer the the forum. I have looked closely at the keltec pf9 but just can not get a fuzzy feeling for this one. I know lots of good praises but not for me. Looked at kahr and have fired several of friends weapons. I believe the cw will fill the bill. Not a big fan of the 9mm and also have a supply of the 40 so this is the main reason for looking at the cw40. Must admit that all the kahrs that i have shot (those of my friends) have been of the 9mm type. Have never fired a 40 in such a light weight before so I am holding off on my purchase untill I can rent or locate a 40 that I can fire a few rounds through. I realize there is quite a bit of diff between the 9 and 40 cal recoil. Any way, keep the info coming and i will keep u posted on my soon purchase and experience. Thanks
