The Kahr CW9 is the streamlined, no-frills version of Kahr's well-regarded slim 9mm, and it delivers the thing the brand is actually known for: a single-stack pistol that's genuinely thin at the slide and frame, with a long, smooth double-action-only trigger that many shooters find easier to run well than a short, stagey pull. Kahr's design uses a passive striker block and no manual safety, so it's draw-and-shoot simple. This one wears a stainless slide over a polymer frame with a 3.6-inch barrel and a front night sight for low-light work. It's an old-school pocket and IWB carry gun that still earns its keep.
