I thought I’d do a quick range report on my new (to me) CW 45
I took the Kahr, 100rnds of 230gr RN, and 20rnds of 185gr JHP (all reloads) to Tri County. It was cold and I was in a hurry so I only shot standing, offhand at the 10yd range.
1st – I have heard that the Kahr’s are accurate/tight shooters and that is what I found with this one too. It wasn’t hard to keep 5-6 shots in 2” at 10yrds. I was very happily surprised for a double action only gun.
2nd – The double action trigger on this gun is the best I’ve ever felt. Nice and wide, metal and smooth as silk.
3rd – Recoil was also very easy on the hands (I was expecting much more with the small 45) I’m not sure if it is the weight, the balance, or both but it has less felt recoil than my S&W 40.
4th – It feed and ate both the 230gr RNs and the 185gr JHPs perfectly. It came with two magazines and I gave both of them a decent workout.
5th – I really like the ergonomics of the CW. It fits my hand really good although it’s not a very large grip. The trigger guard is large and I don’t think you banana handed fellows would even have a problem. The slim body is one of the things I really like about it. I’ve been wearing it in a IWB I made for it all day and forgot it was there quickly. I do have to mention that with the slim body, you are giving up the double digit carrying capacity. It holds 6+1.
6th – I thought I’d mention it also disassembles easily and cleans up in a snap.
Overall I’m very happy so far and here’s a couple of pics of the beast and a ten round group.

My CW9 matches your description. It is my primary carry. Very smooth trigger and nice fit.
