About the Gun

Part of Kahr's Value Series, the CW series is a lower-cost version of the compact P series, polymer-framed guns. Standard rifling instead of polygonal, pinned front sight instead of dovetailed, fewer cosmetic machining cuts on the slide. Kahr pistols are striker-fired locked-breech designs, relying on a modification of the Browning dropping-barrel system with a lug above the chamber locking the barrel into the roof of the slide.

About the Cartridge

Designed by John Browning and introduced by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, this cartridge has achieved world-wide acceptance and has even been adopted as the standard pistol cartridge by several governments. One reason for the round's success is that it is the largest practical cartridge that can be easily adapted to small automatic pocket pistols. Ballistics fall far short of even the 9mm Luger, but still prove adequate for most self-defense situations. The round has established quite a niche position in this role, often being chosen over more traditional small calibers such as the .25 and .32 Autos.

Exceeded all expectations

I love Pocket guns, own many. This is a extremely well made, fine shooting, firearm. Totally reliable with thousands of rounds down range. Love the Kahr Trigger for EDC. I own two of these guns plus the P380. All reliable, and Fun to shoot and exceptionally mild on recoil. Handles fantastic.. So easy to carry. Highly recommend.
