In this video, I shoot three different Kahr handguns back to back. All are loaded with standard pressure ammunition, in the heaviest (standard) bullet weights available for the caliber – 230s in the .45, 180s in the .40, and 147s in the 9mm. Although the CW40 actually “felt” more controllable than the CW45, you can see in the video that the CW40 had more muzzle rise. The CW9 was much easier to control than both of the larger handguns.

My CW9 feels very poppy, and the trigger has a long way to travel. Definitely not a precision instrument, but is much less of a burden to carry in social occasions. It is probably the smallest 9mm I would want to regularly shoot (that tiny kel Tec number feels like a firecracker going off in your hand). Cant watch your video at the moment but will later. Thanks for making these videos.
great video…i know its only one minute but im sure a lot of time went into it…and a lot of insight has come out of it…never seen anything like this done before…keep it up
Thanks!
Another CW9 owner here. While a gun that side is certainly poppy, it’s a puppy dog compared to my Kel-Tec PF-9. By the way, have you ever had feeding issues with 147 grain bullets in your CW9? I’ve wanted to trust Winchester RA9T in mine but occasionally get a round hung up on the bottom edge of the feed ramp.
I put over 200 rounds of mixed 147gr JHP through it on the first day – no malfunctions of any kind.
That’s encouraging, thanks. Probably a bad magazine on my end.
My CW9 will not feed some hollowpoints. I recently bought some winchester 147 gr with a longer, more sloped bullet and that feeds fine.
Great video.
