The Kahr CW9 9mm pistol with a 3.6-inch barrel is a slim, lightweight carry gun built on a black polymer frame (Kahr part no. CW90G93). Kahr Arms fits it with a matte stainless steel slide and a trigger-cocking double-action-only action that gives the same pull each shot. Seven rounds in the magazine plus one chambered keep the grip thin, while white bar-dot combat sights make it quick to pick up. It fills the everyday-carry role well and is simple enough to learn quickly.
