Performance Characteristics:
The CW9 is known for its slim profile and lightweight design, making it comfortable for inside-the-waistband carry. The 3.6″ barrel offers a balance between concealability and ballistic performance. Its smooth double-action-only trigger system provides consistent pull weight from shot to shot. Recoil is manageable for a compact 9mm due to its ergonomic grip texture and low bore axis.

The single-stack 7-round magazine keeps the grip narrow, enhancing concealment and comfort for everyday carry.

Safety Information

• Treat All Guns as Loaded: Always assume the firearm is loaded.
• Point the Muzzle Safely: Never point at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Finger Off the Trigger: Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to fire.
• Be Sure of Your Target and What’s Beyond It: Know what is behind your target.
• Use Proper Ammunition: Use only quality factory-loaded 9mm ammunition.
• Store Guns Safely: Store unloaded in a secure safe or lockbox, especially away from unauthorized persons.

Historical and Market Context

Kahr Arms built its reputation around slim, concealed-carry-focused pistols. The CW (Carry/Value) series offers a more affordable option compared to the premium K-series while maintaining Kahr’s signature smooth trigger system and compact design philosophy.

The CW9 remains popular in states with magazine capacity restrictions due to its standard 7-round single-stack configuration.
