Hey Gentlemen,
I wanted to share a great experience carrying and shooting the Kahr CW9, which has quickly become my primary carry. I have never had a gun that was able to retain such great shootability while being so comfortable and easy to carry. It has about 1000 rounds through it, has never had a failure of any kind, and carries like a champ. I have spent many hours carrying both an SR9 and XD subcompact (9mm) and the Kahr is such a pleasure to carry in comparison. The biggest factors are how thin it is (0.9 inches not including the slide lock) and how light it is. Also it shoots very accurately (much more so than my XD). Its biggest trial has been my using it in IDPA matches and I have had no trouble keeping up with the big guns.
Also, after never fully being satisfied with the holsters that I have tried, I decided to get some Kydex and start making my own. I highly recommend y'all trying your hand at making your own at home assuming you're good with your hands. First of all, we're all made differently and by making your own and working out the kinks, you can make something that fits YOUR body. Secondly, you can bye all the equipment you need to make several homemade kydex holsters for about the price of two commercial holsters. Then after that, you're making holsters for super cheap since sheets of kydex and rivets are quite affordable. The holster shown is by far the most comfortable I have tried, due to the flat surface facing the body. The stiffness of the kydex distributes the pressure over a large area and has the added benefit of being sweat proof. I also have several other attachments for carrying the holster in different areas on the belt and with different cants, both IWB and OWB. This allows endless experimentation for getting it just right.
I hope you guys enjoy the pics.
