Beg to disagree. My wife's CW9 has been problem free, easy to shoot, and functions reliably......and it carries very nicely in either holster or purse. I am led to understand that some of the older Kahrs, particularly in .40 cal, were prone to breakage. That appears not to be the case nowadays. I own a PM9 and a CW45, and they're both good guns.
yup mine was one of the old .40s it was a lemon, I really haven't heard anything but good reports on newer/all other models just my "feelings" got bent on a bad experience, but they've made up for it now I s'pose

Prior statement withdrawn ... jury will please disregard ... :tiphat:

the Pm and CM are smaller than the CW though.

I like the hammer fire too. Just a hair bigger than the P238 but you get the more affordable ammo choice. The extra 4 oz help with any recoil. Spent casings land on the far right of center too!

It fits in my small hands too!
That's another one I forgot
Sig Sauer P290 w/ laser

Re: .380 question

I forgot the new Ruger LC9

Ruger LC9 has a mag safety to prevent getting shot with an "unloaded gun"
(A disadvantage if one is chambered and reloading in a firefight and you can't use that round if you dropped the mag and you have to wait until you can pick it up to insert it and fire)

Re: .380 question

Springfield XD9 :thumbs2:
too large for me to conceal on my body.
Since you already have a S&W 9mm, I'd hate to see you go to .380 just based on size/weight/concealablity
Suggestion:
Looked at any thin/single Stack compact/subcompact 9mms?
a Few Options
Kahr PM9 ;-) http://www.google.com/search?q=kahr+pm9 ... 24&bih=636" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Walther PPS
KelTec PF9 (I have one, light weight enough to wear with pajama bottoms elastic)
BERSA Ultra Compact 9
Taurus Millenium Pro 111BP
Taurus PT709 Slim/PT890 or whatever it is now (I have a 709 Stainless, it's nice, but I'd prefer a PM9)
---------------------
Diamondback DB9 will be a good one someday, ammo picky now ... new on the market, I'm waiting to get one so I can't say get one yet in good conscience
