I bought a Kahr CW9 at the Pasadena gun show yesterday. It's a cheaper version of the P9, with a polymer frame. It's the smallest 9mm I've ever owned, yet large enough to get my big paw on it. They make a smaller one (PW9), which is an awesome pocket gun. The P9/CW9 seems to have more reliability, and the CW9 is about $120 cheaper than either.
Prior to the range, all I did was shoot just a little Break Free on the rail, so it wouldn't be dry. I brought a few different kinds of ammo: S&B 115gr, Remington 115gr, Corbon DPX 115gr, and Corbon Pow'rball 100gr. I shot 2 boxes of S&B, 1 box of Remington, and 8 rounds each of the high-dollar stuff. The very first round had a FTE, a semi-stove pipe. Uh oh, I thought, but I know these things happen. I shot the remainder of my rounds without a hitch, including my wife shooting about 30 rounds of the ammo. This thing, despite it's small size, is a pleasure to shoot. With all rounds, it shot a little low left, and it wasn't me pulling them. We're talking 1 to 2" both ways. Even at 15 yards, I could put 'em in a 2" hole if I took my time, meaning 3-4 seconds between shots. For my final 40 rounds, I shot 5 rounds at a time, with about 3 seconds between shots, at 10 yards into a single target (pictured). It's no bullseye gun, but it's a sweet shooter, and a pleasure to carry. I could not be happier with my first outing!
