Bought a new Kahr CW9 this wk. Really like the size and feel of the pistol. Small enough for conceal, yet has a long enough grip to hold on to. Ran 50rds through it without a single malfunction. It seems like in this day and time Kahr would have made the magazine drop-free. You have to pull mag out and when you insert mag with slide down, you have to bump it with some force to lock in. Also when you insert loaded mag, it is kinda hard to engage the slide release to make slide go to battery. I do plan on adding a set of Nite Sites. Overall for the money I am satisfied but I think a few changes would make the pistol a lot nicer and user friendly. But I don't ever see the Kahr taking the place of any of My Glock 19's. krw
 
It will get better with use. I have CM9 and CW9 and they are very tight from the factory. Never have issues with magazine dropping while reloading. My slide stop is still tight but I don't use it so can't comment on that. Hope you enjoy your Kahr. Mine has been nothing but reliable and I carry my CM9 often when a bigger pistol isn't an option.
