Excellent review (as usual). I like the fact that your reviews have all the useful information -- size and weight (without having to get out scales and/or calipers to "prove" the measurements), the gun's features (safety, trigger/trigger pull, sight picture, etc.), some shooting scenes to show recoil and accuracy, AND... take down. Lots of other folks reviews don't show that important piece. And the fact that you do all that in videos of 10 to 15 minutes is very nice. Thanks!

Great review. These DO have a set of steel rails on the front of the frame as well as the rear, the slide rides on steel, NOT polymer. I wish people would quit saying they have no steel rails or only have them front or only rear, they have steel BOTH front and REAR and hold up to THOUSANDS of rounds. Don't attempt to remove the slide stop using the slide stop notch, use the little cut out made specifically for the purpose and it will come out much easier.

Your in-depth video on the Kahr CW45 is one reason I bought one for concealed carry. I like the idea of no thumb safety to worry about and the longer trigger pull gives me those few seconds to decide if I want to fire. One thing that I didn't like was the nodules on the bottom of the grip, they were uncomfortable and dug into my beef. I filed down the last couple of grip bumps but still wasn't satisfied so I bought a Pachmayer rubber slip-on grip with finger grooves. Now, it feels like a whole new gun. Good job on your videos.

I just got a CM45 and it is a joy to shoot. Mine does shoot low as well, but all I do it just dot the I a little higher. Those sights are right up my alley, way better than the glock sights and easier to be more accurate than my XS big dots due to the notches on the rear that keep your front post in line.

I just picked up a Kahr CM45 today and its awesome! I have a couple Glocks and S&W pistols and the Kahr feels the most solid - it doesn't feel "cheap" in any sense of the word at all. Plus, it has metal sights, trigger, magazine, and mag catch. The polymer is nice too it is heavy and doesn't feel like cheap plastic. I also have a small frame Glock holster and it fits perfectly. I felt the trigger on the CW9 and it was pretty long - the trigger on the CM45 is much better, it is super smooth and not nearly as long as the 9. It genuinely feels like a 4lb smooth trigger with no wall at all.

Sootch00...all 230 grain 45 bullets shoot low!! BTW, the Kahr design is similar to the Glock's in that they both partially compress the striker spring. They complete the spring compression by pulling the trigger which then releases the sear. I had to reduce the spring tension on my CW45's extractor so that it grabbed the brass's rim. (I took about 0.02" off the extractor rod.) Once I got that resolved, the CW45 became a reliable shooter. Lastly, the CW45 is easily converted to 7+1 by using a Kimber #1000173 magazine. Caution: If the lip on the Kimber rubs against the extractor, it will prevent the slide going into battery. I had to lightly sand (200 grit paper) that lip just enough to prevent contact of the lip and the low-lying extractor. The traditional 1911 extractor sits high on the slide where it sits low on the Kahr's slide. All things considered, the CW45 is one sweet gun.
