As someone who is looking for a pocket gun late this year, I am very interested in this. I wonder if this gun is going to be reliable, unlike the P380.
What do you guys think?

I'm sorry you guys but, what a freaking joke!!! I've heard that most of these Kahrs require this but it's utterly ridiculous IMO that you buy a brand new, factory gun and have to put several hours worth of time/work into it before you can shoot it reliably. And then the fanboys blame it on "they're so well made and the parts fit so tight and so well that it takes some time to get it all broken in so it all slides and moves like it's supposed to". Well, I tell ya what; Les Bear's, Nighthawks, etc are ten times tighter and better fitted than Kahrs and you can shoot the pee out of them literally right out of the box. Which, tells you that they most likely did a piss poor job of fitting the parts if, they did any at all and didn't just grab parts out of a barrel and throw it all together. And, if the above were actually the case they would have all of that done at the factory so that their customers don't have to deal with it. I honestly cannot believe that their customer base is still putting up with it.I'd give the P380 another try and go to the Kahr Talk website to learn how to prep the new gun properly. The CW will be a good gun, but you'd be better off with the P380 for PC.
I guess I can skip over any posts I see from Crowbait.Okay, rant over. And, I apologize to all of the Kahr fans out there, it just blows my mind that people pay what they do for them...I'd buy a Kel-Tec before I bought a Kahr
Well first of all Kahr's website is on the internet. But I'm more interested in your "personal experience". Which Kahr pistols have you owned and what were the problems you experienced with them? I personally break down, clean and lubricate every new gun I get. By the way my CW9, CM9 and CW45 have all been perfect from day one.I wasn't going solely by anything I had read on the internet. I am going by information from Kahrs website and personal experience
You are absolutely correct problems do arise with every other brand of pistol. But, for those manufacturers it's such an uncommon occurrence based on the number of guns they produce that they don't put "fixes" for the problem in their FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. So, by their own admission it IS frequent. That means that they know about the problem yet, are doing nothing to rectify it.I don't think Kahr is saying "there is a good chance it won't work right until..." at all. If you look around you'll find someone that has had problems with ALL firearms, even glocks. I would imagine Kahr says what they do in the manual for those rare occurrences where a person does have an issue in the first few hundred rounds, in order to discourage them from sending it back before at least firing 200 rounds through it. In my opinion, it isn't an issue since most people are going to fire at least that many rounds through it before trusting it anyway.
I own a CM9 and it has functioned 100% right out of the box. There are things I don't like about it, but I can find fault with any gun. I don't think it's an unfinished product at all. I have not touched mine other than cleaning and shooting. Maybe Kahr has more failures than some others, maybe they don't, but my experience with mine has been great thus far.
LOL, What's ridiculous and childish is to continue buying Kahr pistols after having so many negative experiences with them. If you have a problem with dropping the slide with the slide release on a carry gun why did you buy so many guns made to be carried that instructed you to do so? Maybe if you had read the directions you may have been able to master these little guns. Most people learn from their mistakes.You're first statement is just ridiculous, not to mention childish. It's on their website; which means that they sanction the information. If they wanted it to say something different they have the right and the means to make it so. So, why don't they? Because it's the truth.
PM9, CW9, TP45, and CW45...Not to mention the ones that my friends and family have and have had problems with, you can more than triple the previous number. The problems I experienced were as follows: failures to fire, feed, and extract. Stovepipes, double feeds, nosedives, and a live rounds coming up in a stovepipe position. So, I've plenty of experience with the brand and the vast majority has, unfortunately, been negative. And, it would seem that there have been many others that have had the same experience. Is that enough "personal experience" for you?
