I just fired the manual-suggested 200 round "break-in" for a new Kahr P45.

This photo is of the 2nd 100 rounds fired @ 15 yards. This weapon is so accurate that it's scary. Rounds used for break-in were as follows:
50 rds. PMC 230 gr. ball
50 rds. my loads (230 gr. ball w/ CCI primers & 5.7 gr. of 231)
50 rds. Wolf 230. gr. ball
50 rds. Federal's "American Eagle" 230 gr. ball

There were 2 FTF's on my loads (CCI primers are notoriously hard). Everything else worked well. There was a guy next to me - for a while - shooting a .500 S&W. Then he switched to a ported .357 snubbie ... I'm glad that I was wearing plugs and muffs.

I'm extremely impressed with this little Kahr. Reasonably priced spare magazines would be a huge plus. It just came back from the factory because of the slide failing to lock open ... seems as if they've got it fixed.

Nice shooting....I continue to hear great things about Kahr...I might have to try one someday!

I love my PM 9 if the 1911 bug doesn't get me first I might have to try the P 45. I tried to talk my father in law into one but it didn't work

I shot a P-9 a couple of months ago and was very impressed (I don't impress easily).

I am not surprised to see that level of accuracy, good shooting!

My Daughter will be taking her concealed carry class in March of '07, and thus far the Kahr P-9 or a H&K P-2000 look like strong contenders.

I have not had the H&K in hand yet, but after just 6 rounds through the little Kahr...I knew it was a mighty fine weapon.

Also, FWIW....I do the "Break-In" part of any new weapon by simply cycling the action by hand. I use jewelers rouge on the contact areas of the slide and frame, and polish the breech face before the first round is fired (clean weapon afterward). After that, 200+ rounds is only to prove "reliability", or the propensity of the firearm to feed certain cartridges.

Great group there! Big thumbs up.

I carry my P40 covert daily

What are the P9's going for, I'm thinking of trying one?

I picked up a PM40 from a guy here in Houston and couldn't get 3 rounds out of the gun without it jamming. Gave up on Kahr for awhile but Im about to go pick up a Kahr MK9 Elite. Hopefully, I will have better luck with that.

Kahr did have a few problems a while back, both with guns and personel.

I have a PM40 that I had to send back because the slide was locking back after evey round. Now have about 1000 rounds thru it without a hiccup.

I carry it evey day either as primary or BUG. Great little pocket gun (except with Wranglers)

Nice shootin'!

I've seen prices on P9's at around $520. People are asking a little more for the PM9. (some PM9's have had peening problems, but that seems to have been worked-out now).

I just picked up a CW9 and have been very impressed. Accuracy is outstanding and I've broken it in with over 1000 rounds of WWB with ZERO malfunctions. It's now my primary carry piece and I coudn't be happier!!

+1 to the CW9! I paid $389 for mine at the Pasadena gun show a few months ago. I shoot it as well as my G19 - which ain't too bad. I carry mine in a Sparks Watch Six, and it's comfortable enough to wear all day every day. I have seen the phrase, but have NEVER found a gun worn IWB that I could have said, "You could forget you're wearing it." I can truly say that with the CW9. Highly recommended!

I am sure glad to hear good thing's about the CW9, when I said last Saturday that I was thinking about getting a Kahr, well when I start thinking about a gun it's not long before I have it, like the next day.

I have worked the slide about 500 times and loaded the last two rounds in the magazine maybe 20 times, it's starting to feel pretty good. When I dry fire with snap-caps the trigger is a lot better than I expected, but the top of the trigger will bite if I use the pad to the joint. I was afraid it would have a trigger like a Kel Tec 9, but this is much better.

I won't have a chance to shoot it untill later this week.

I'm impressed, this little CW 9 Kahr may be much more gun than I expected I was in a hurry and only had time for 150 rounds, 100 Winchester white box and 50 Blazer Brass, 149 X's on a B-27 at 7 yds.
A nice trigger and no malfunctions. I'll try to run some HP's through it today.

There may be a couple of problem's in the making, my wife picked it up off my desk and said '' This gun feels better in my hand than anything we have, if it's a shooter I want it'' then later Tami [ Daughter ] stop's by and when I tell her about testing the Kahr she pick's it up and go's Hummmm and give's me that Daddy I might like this, look [ you Dad's with Daughter's know the look I'm talking about ]

Maybe you can get a discount if you buy two? Otherwise I think you are going to lose the CW9.
