Hahahah!!!! No shit right!? I mean this guy is just begging to either shoot himslef shoot someone else or put a hole in his wall. What the actual fuck he flagged his own face!!!😶
Kyle Dickson yup this is the most accurate gun I own and if you don't limp wrist it you won't ever have a failure. I have glocks fns Walther etc my favorite gun
You guys commenting sound like a bunch of typically pretentious asshats so the hell what hold it anyway you want when nothings going on. Get some help with your sad social skills if you're so scared of everything, scary lil scarecrows 🤭
mmbabamckee - lol. That’s the first thing that caught my attention. I️ kept watching the video, not because of his review but because I️ wanted to see the gun. Considering getting it soon. I️ have the K40 and love it!
Dude, do us all a favor and take this video down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fumbling around with loaded mags trying to put them in the gun with one hand, ect. Its really bad video. If this is your 1st firearm what references do you have to compare the gun to? I am sure that the gun is plenty accurate and is just your inexperience! You really not giving the gun community any justice with this terrible video!
I know, not only is he clueless about gun safety, it’s the first gun he’s ever owned and he is going to tell us it’s not accurate? 🤦🏻♂️ One word for him: MORON!
@@FORTYcaps maybe your and idiot and don't realise that he still have cock the gun for it to be chambered. He can out hus hang on thr trigger as much as he wants AS LONG AS ITS NOT CHAMBERED . This ain't no video about how to handle a gun .
This is some of the most unsafe gun handling I have seen online. The entire video he handled a loaded pistol with his finger in the trigger guard. He really really needs to take a safety course
@@buddyfromyourgrandmasattic2363 Then you shouldn't own a gun. That's literally basic safety fundamentals when it comes to firearms. They teach you this in basic training as well.
Simple fix... don't own a firearm! You clearly don't know the basics of owning a firearm which makes it obvious you shouldn't own one. You are the type of people who give the rest of us a bad reputation......
I was hating on glocks for the same shit (inaccuracy) but once you learn that trigger reset and better your technique you’ll have great grouping, basically goes the same way for most firearms
Zac Nead Some people think I'm looney. Because, even when I clean my guns, no ammo in arms reach. I have snap caps but I don't want live rounds around anywhere when cleaning. I've been handling firearms for over 50 years. Take it for what its worth, lol! Best to ya'...!
I carry a CW9 and train with it regularly. When I first got the gun, I tried to chamber a round without locking the slide back, and found that it wouldn't. I bought the Kahr used, and had no manual, but I figured it out pretty quickly. Lock the slide back, insert mag and release the slide - no problems. I've found the CW9 to be totally reliable and very accurate for a small pistol. It's not my favorite gun to shoot, but it's my favorite to carry.
My Kahr CW9 is Accurate as any other handgun and 100% reliable. Noobs making videos on proven weapons just need to go out and actually use firearms before giving advice on products or technique.
Accuracy doesn’t mean a thing when the paper weight in your hand won’t cycle a round because of magazine problems, feed ramp problems, failure to extract problems. Lmfao, you called it a proven weapon, lmfao 🤣🤣
Possibly the worst gun review ever. Can't blame user error on the gun. I've carried a cw9 for about 8 years and have NEVER had any of the problems mentioned here. I agree with a previous post. Take this video down
I love mine. I am almost as accurate with it as with a 1911. Please read your manual, load it the way the manual says, use factory mags like the manual says, put at least two hundred rounds through it like the manual says, and while you are at it, get some proper training. You can ignore all of us commenting or you can take our collective advice. I hope you take the advice and get trained.
Hans Moleman see, his finger on the trigger? See the live rounds on the table? See how he didn't clear the chamber at the start of the vid? Yeah unacceptable. For the safety of himself and others he needs to pack it away until he gets some training.
You said it much nicer and eloquently than i could. Im a licensed firearms instructor...i had a hard time not reaching through the screen and wrangling this little dudes neck. Infuriating!!!!
Bob Stadnicki well anyone is qualified to do a video. He’s just dumb. Shouldn’t have made a video. I could see if he was asking questions or talking about how he’s new to it but no. He’s just dumb. 😂🤦🏼♂️
If you read the manual it tells you to use the slide release when you chamber a round. It tells you not to chamber a round in the manner that you are doing. You'll notice the gun has a lite recoil for such a small gun. The reason is because the recoil spring is stiff. It is a trade off. But, one that is frankly very easy to overcome.
what about the first round? rack the slide, lock it open with both hands, insert the magazine, then use the the slide release? no matter how much you love this brand, you have to admit that is a failture in design.
Everyone just ignored all the details of your review as they are distracted by your complacency in handling a firearm... you had a loaded magazine in the weapon and didnt even verify the chamber was clear when you pulled the trigger...then muzzle flagged yourself in the face several times to do a review with **loaded magazines** in your bathroom... learn to properly handle your weapon as everything in your video is what most gun owners are taught not to do. Not trying to be a jerk or keyboard troll just want to save **your life** or the people around you from getting hurt.
Not trying to be critical, but the manual on that pistol says to lock the slide back, insert a full mag. then release the slide lock to chamber the first round on every fresh reload. NOT to hand rack it to chamber your round. I don't know why, but it does work.
Someone who only owns one gun and doesn't know how to shoot it, is not qualified to make a video about it. It is a very accurate gun in the hands of any shooter that knows how to use it and yes I own a Kahr. You sound the guy at the gun range shooting next to me the other day; he could barely keep rounds on human size target at only 5 yards while I have no problem making head shots at 25 yards. You just need proper instruction and practice.
The motorsports project, that's good to know on the ammo. Say I have a question, is the front of the grip squared off like a Glock or is it rounded. I can't 100% tell in the pictures and no one locally has one of these.
dude, if you have no knowledge of firearms, please don't give other people advice,keep it to yourself until you get properly trained,and then only give advice on what you know is factually true
I swear a gasped for air...my heart skipped a beat when he put a loaded mag in. Than pulled the trigger without checking that it was clear. Get some training before you end up on worldstar
Please Please!!!! Do not make any more videos until you have proper training!!! You have horrible gun handling safety skills and this video is just one example of what NOT to do over and over. For your safety and those around you please get trained on gun safety!! You're at 96% Negative viewers response!!!
When I get a new gun I'll usually spend some time holding it and getting used to the grip and the trigger weight and placement but damn don't do it with a loaded mag in it. Even if it isn't chambered that's just crazy.
I have this exact firearm. Just got it,,, shot it one time so far. Put 150 rds thru it. Winchester white 124, Fiocchi 115 gr ball, ISI jhp 115, and Sig elite 147 gr. It worked PERFECTLY. Overall the machining is tight, but that is good, and will settle after more rounds. As far as accuracy, it shot right where I pointed it. To be honest, I get the feeling the person in this video has played so many video games, he is disassociated partially with reality and the real world. If I get picky, my only issue would be the grip front and back (not the sides) is textured a little rough, but this will be a carry gun, so this prolly is a good thing considering in an emergency it might encounter sweat or even blood. This Kahr seems to be a well designed little firearm so far. thanks .... PS: the person in this video might want to look into a HighPoint 9mm.
I had an anxiety attack watching this. That is the most unsafe gun handling I've seen in years: finger inside the trigger guard and handling loaded magazines. A double-action trigger is always going to have a long pull. Any pistol can be accurate, you need more range time. The spring tension from the guide rod is something all gun owners have to get used to. I hope in the time you've posted this video, you've become a better gun owner and shooter.
Firstly, the handgun is plenty accurate. I get fist-sized groupings at 15 yards. As far as the issue with not racking hard enough causing issues, Kahr says to have the slide locked back, then release to chamber a round. Also there is a 250 round break-in period. I like my CW9. It's been very good to me. Reason I bought it was because for such a small gun, I was as accurate with it as I was with my Glock and Beretta. To each their own though. Luckily we live in a time where there's an infinite number of selections for concealed carry.
This pistol is a good gun. It was the first I have owned and experienced similar issues with it in the beginning. However before giving up on it I got some advice from NRA certified instructors and they told me it needed a longer break in period 1,000 rounds. Took about 400-500 rounds for me to really break in, after that the spring loosened up and the trigger was broken in fantastically. The field strip and putting back the spring became easier as well. This gun is also one of the easiest I have come across to field strip and maintain. My only gripe with it are the sights, which can't be adjusted and I have to aim the dot of the front sight slightly above the grooves in the rear sight and not directly in between. After that minor aiming adjustment it's accuracy is spot on, no longer a major issue. I am very happy I held onto it and gave it a second chance, plus the price/quality ratio is superb.
After I got through the 200 round break in period, the pistol has been flawless. Had FTFs all the way up to shot number 195. Now more than a 1000 rounds sent down range without a hiccup - it's really a sweet shooting pistol. One of my favorites and I own way too many.
Jessica, use the middle of the pad of the tip of the index finger. The idea is maximum contact with your bracing hands and minimal contact with the trigger finger in order to not disturb the sight picture. The fingertip is the most sensitive part of the finger as well so it is easy to train for that muscle memory for proper finger placement.
I don't usually comment on people's videos but this couldn't be more wrong. For all of you interested in buying a kahr, let me explain why this video is misleading. First I own the same cw9. Have for 4 years. Never any issues. Extremely reliable weapon. I love how accurate it is (especially for a carry gun you're hopefully not engaging a threat at more than 15 yards anyway). It has very low recoil. Most subcompact pistols are snappy in 9mm,this is not. Some people don't like the long trigger pull every time, I actually don't notice it and like that I have to really want to pull that trigger, it's not sensative,yet not heavy. The mags are extremely small, you can carry many of them in your pockets and not notice them. Here's a huge pro- if you live in California this is your best option, you cannot buy a glock 26 unless you're LE and honestly I think this gun is more comfortable than the glock, you can get a full purchase on it, yet it's very small. The price point is also amazing around $300. I've never had an issue with reliability. The comment he made about not chambering is silly, yes if you slowly rack the slide on any weapon this can happen, they teach you to rack your pistol with authority, no matter which one. It's not a delicate flower rack that bitch. I've seen glocks jam from limp wristing them... So handle the firearm properly no matter what it is. Metal mags unlike the plastic glock mags that can get stuck in the mag well. This gun is great for a first time carry, a female wanting something small for home defense or an edc. Go shoot it yourself. Like I said us Californians have limited options, I like this way better than the mp shield, or the ruger lcp or lc9. Those are the only other size comparable, and I don't like their controls or my pinky sticking under. My interest is every responsible legal gun owner to be armed and trained to take care of themselves, and their families, and this is a great first pistol based on the quality and price. My next carry gun will be an hk usp compact 9 because of 14 rounds and I'm an hk fan, plus LE will let me have that, and I won't mind the $800 price. But for all you Cali people with a 10 round capacity, this little beauty is inexpensive, and you can put 5 mags in your pocket no problem, so get your ccws and pick one up. OK bye.
Just got mine today and took it to the range. Performed flawlessly through exactly 207 rounds. Extremely accurate as well. Hit more bullseyes at 5 and 7 yards than with any other pistol I have. A few people have said they shoot a bit low but I did not have that problem. Perfect size for ccw highly recommend. I actually started to rack the first round after 100 rounds just to see if I would have any issues and it still worked perfectly.
I really hope this video is supposed to be funny and not a serious review, but I don't think it is. I've been in law enforcement almost 15 years and shooting all kinds of guns since I was a kid. I carry a Kahr CM9 off duty and I am required to qualify with it the same as my duty weapon, which is now a Glock 17. I qualified at 98% with my Kahr CM9...don't post a video ripping a firearm when you state that it's the first one you have owned. I have put over 1000 rounds through my Kahr and never had a malfunction. You might want to google "limp wristing an automatic pistol" and grow a pair before posting another firearm review.
Just watching handle that pistol made me nervous. You have a loaded weapon and you can't keep your finger out of that trigger guard and off the trigger.
Yep I agree , the magazines are finicky on these , I heard the steel base plate you would have to buy helps or there is something to sand down on the polymer ( pain in the ass kinda) also the slide is so tight not being able to rack a round in chamber is ridiculous . Kahr recommends having the slide locked back then releasing the slide lock lever to load the first round , which works . I think the more you shoot this gun the better it probably gets by breaking in more and more . The magazines really bother me . But I have to say I like shooting it when it works and it is very accurate for me and holds well in the hand and points well .
California resident here.. Our options for a single-stacked pistol is limited... Most single-stacked pistols here are 'off-roster' Only military and law-enforcement people are allowed to buy 'off-roster' guns. The Kahr CW9 and S&W Shield are the only single-stacked guns we can have :(
Okay, a couple of observations. #1. You admit it's the first pistol you've ever owned. This is a huge red flag that suggests you're not really qualified to give a good review on a product since you don't have any real experience - or at least you haven't established this to your viewers. #2. You juggle loaded magazines into and out of a pistol you haven't cleared. Yes, I know, I can look at the extractor and see nothing's chambered, but the visual is amateurish and lacks any hint of professionalism. Don't you have any friends who can hold a camera? #3. You claim the pistol is inaccurate, and I can see you may have a grip issue that a more experienced shooter could correct. I've owned my CW-9 for about 4 years now. I use it for my annual qualification. It normally outshoots everyone on the line, many of whom use full size pistols. Now, I'm betting I could shoot head size targets at 20 yards with "YOUR" inaccurate pistol. I'm betting you may one day be able to as well.
I just bought one today..I paid $285.00 for it and boi you have never lied...the first thing I did when got home was load it up and tried to rack it and it did catch/jam but like you said, note to self, aggressively rack it or buddy turn around and run
I have two Kahrs, a K-9 and a CW-9. They are as reliable and accurate as any other carry gun. You state it's your first pistol so you really can't give a viable review other than as a first time pistol owner. Please learn to index your trigger finger along side the slide when gripping the pistol. I cringed every time you placed your finger on the trigger especially after you inserted two loaded mags. I was reaching for ear plugs when you pulled the trigger. Not cool.
Wtf did I just watch. First off guns loosen up over time. Obviously you don’t shoot it enough. Second, guns aren’t exactly inaccurate, there’s learning curves to shooting some guns some shoot high some shoot low, practice makes perfect, thirdly, you overpaid , those go for around 280, a price range smith n Wesson and glock can’t touch. Do us gun enthusiasts a favor and clean your nails. Also stop buying guns.
Treat every firearm as if it was loaded... fail Keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times... fail Keep you finger off the trigger until you make the conscious decision to shoot... fail Know your target, beyond your target, and your surroundings... fail Please read all of the below comments and take them to heart, you need to get training immediately.
I can tell your new so I'll give you some advice. The way to fix the spring is to leave the slide back for 24 hours the spring is not broken in it will cock easier after that or do you like most people do shoot about 6 7000 rounds and it will shoot great
Ignore this man's opinion. Right from the beginning he say's "this is the first pistol I've ever owned" He has no clue what he's talking about and seriously needs some professional training.
It would be one thing if this was a first time gun buyers review...but still. Gun saftey 101 first. Practice second. Then go fo your little review. Even then not much of an opinion considering he only has experience with this gun and nothing else to compare it to.
Its innacurate. There is a video of a girl that takes this exact handgun out to 200 yards and hits steel. I know it sounds like bs but search it and see.
One of my first pistols was the MK9. The trigger took a lot of getting used to and is certainly not for beginners. Don't title your video with definitive statements regarding topics you don't know anything about.
All Firearms Are Loaded This means that whether you know that a firearm is completely empty or not, it is always to be treated as if there is a round in the chamber. Never Point A Firearm At Anything You Are Not Willing To Destroy Never cover anything other than your target with the muzzle of the firearm. Imagine the barrel is a laser pointer, whatever the laser lands on is a potential “target”. Always be aware at what it is pointing at. Finger Off Trigger Until Ready To Fire It takes a split second to move your finger out of the trigger guard and on to the trigger, for safety sake keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are pointed at target and ready to take the shot. Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Beyond It Not only should you identify your target, but also be sure of what is beyond and where the bullet has a potential to go. Often bullets go through the target, you should always be sure you can see, or are certain where the bullet is likely to stop if this happens.
I had this pistol before, and it shot as good as anything else I ever shot. With all do respect, you should brush up on shooting fundamentals. It's just a shame that someone might see this video, and be dissuaded to purchase a fine firearm.
Kahr recommends that you use the SLIDE RELEASE to release the slide, not slingshot it. I have never ever had a single issue with my Kahr especially after having READ THE MANUAL that came with it.
In California I have to qualify at 3, 7 and 15 yards and keep them in the 10 ring. I manage to still have the Kahr CW9 on my permit to this day. I think you need to understand your gun and why you cant manage to operate it. Some people have to have a specific gun to be comfortable, i get it. Its a great gun, not my favorite, but ita good gun-
I have the CM9 and it works Excellent! One function that i noticed was its great in accuracy at different distances. The "Pinky" extension s i purchased and added to magazines base plate refined my accuracy , concideberly . Also, i have to agree with other comments of how you're handling or fumbling your gun . Trying to release /insert mag with one hand? Dropping them on table?WHAT. LOL! This is your first gun and your trying to give advice on who or what it can be used for? This is a comedy video? Right?
I was shooting the Kahr P380, and that thing is probably the hardest pistol I've ever shot to pull the slide back. Part of it is because it is so small there is not much grip and slide to hold on to. It was decently accurate for such a small gun, and it was decently reliable too. But, i think my buddy paid like $750 for that thing with night sights, which for a polymer 380 seems a bit much.
Aiming problems are the shooter not what he's shooting. I own a cw9 myself and have never had an issue with accuracy. Also there's a video on CZcams where a female shoots the cw9 and hits headshots at like 300 yds with this pistol. Like I said it's more than likely the shooter and the technique. Now as far as racking the pistol and getting jams yes that is a thing but lime you said it's if your not racking it all the way and I've noticed that after I've cleaned and lubed the gun it never jams when racking a new round in the chamber. I'm curious if you've noticed this as well after cleaning yours? (if you still own this gun) the trigger is something to get used to but once done it is a great safety mechanism. As somebody who carries everyday with a round chambered. I really do appreciate this feature. I don't have an extended magazine with the gun so to see what it looks like is great.
This is your first pistol, and you opine that it is not accurate? I have owned 22 or 23 pistols, and can tell you that the Kahr CW9 is a very accurate pistol for its size and specifications. Yes, it is hard to "rack." That is a necessary evil of a "compact" 9mm because of the forces involved. Sit in your basement having a few beers and cycle it a thousand times by hand before you go into combat . Don't your break in the action on your semi-autos? As for your statement that you don't recommend the pistol? You need to learn about guns, son. I suggest that, in addition to a fine-quality 9mm semi-auto like the Kahr, you get yourself a .38 or .357 Smith & Wesson or Colt (okay, a Ruger or a Taurus is fine). Put some thousands of rounds down range. Try a single-action, too. Man, that is sweet! Do you know why you do, or do not, like a Glock? What do you think about the muzzle rise of a .40 in comparison to the kinetic energy the round imparts? About eighteen pistols in, I realized that "double-action-only" was probably a good idea for a middle-aged f$%k like me, who doesn't carry a gun every day (but will still will out shoot you at the range). Get some experience, and then, and only the, should you start "shooting your mouth off" about whether you think the firearm is capable. Honestly, my man, the Kahr CW9 will out shoot you, day in and day out.
I have one that I've put 1100 rounds thru. It's a very accurate pistol. Try shooting it off some sandbags just to confirm that the inaccuracy problem is you. Read the user manual. You should not load a Kahr by racking the slide. You must load the first round by using the slide stop lever.
Other viewers comment us correct! Read instruction manual. You MUST ALWAYS chamber 1st rnd from slide locked back, then use slide release lever to load round. If you use the racking method the round will often nose dive in the mag and you get a failure to feed jsm. This is due to loading ramp being left of center Kahr's are unique this way. Gun is quite accurate. You say this us your first pistol, so you are obviously a novice. Experience will cure that. Judge accuracy post shooting 10,000 rounds, then judge. Regards
I realize that you are new to firearms, and in general, it is good to receive new shooter experiences, but I highly recommend that you shoot and learn from others who have been at it for some time. We were all new to firearms at one point and we learned from others with experience on how to safely enjoy our new gun. Hope you enjoy your pistol and be safe.
The sights are set up different than you’re typical hand gun. Normally you would align the front sights flush with the rear sights. But this gun has sights that are designed to look like a lower case “i” the two rear sights hold up the front sight. There are cut grooves on both sides of the rear sights. And they’re angled at about a 45 degrees and when you have an accurate sight picture it looks as if the rear sights are guiding you up to the front sight. Practice that and you’ll have a good handle on your CW9. Im speaking from my first hand experience. 👍🏽 good luck.
It's not the pistol that is inaccurate. This pistol may not be FOR YOU. The way you shoot, you hand structure, how the gun fits in your hand, the way your finger interacts with the trigger, all these things will affect your accuracy. It's not because you are a bad shot, but you may be inconsistent WITH THIS PARTICULAR pistol. Try several other pistols, and measure how consistent and accurate and comfortable you are with each. That comparison will guide you to the RIGHT pistol FOR YOU. I shoot best with an HK PSP and worst with a 1911. My small hand size and the way I hold the gun combines with the pistol grip shape trigger geometry, and many other factors that make some pistols shoot well, and others not well. Go out and test shoot until you find what WORKS. Try a pistol training course. An instructor may spot one or more bad shooting habits that could make you improve your skill. Don't judge the gun, judge the interface between you and the gun, and change that relationship by trying other guns. You will amaze yourself when you discover which one works for you as an individual. Best of luck, and happy shooting!
I honestly watched this because I thought you where going to have a negligent discharge. I am not trying to talk trash, but guns need to be treated with the most respect, there is plenty of videos about safety and good habits. please watch some. you have two loaded Mags right next to you and you have your index on the trigger and you are dry firing. just remember bullets don't come back. you could hurt yourself and others.
I have only been shooting for a couple of years, but I have bought about 7,000 rounds of 9mm and fired off most of them. My Sig P250 subcompact has a 3.6 inch barrel and the more I shoot it the more accurate it gets. Of course I pay attention to my grip, my trigger pull (was that straight back or did I squeeze to the side?). Additionally, I shoot at you and lots of things around the house like doorknobs. Without ammunition, it is called Dry Firing. Another word for it is Practice. Keeping the sights lined up and keeping them that way while pulling the trigger is all you have to do, Watch a few instructional videos and put what you can into practice. Maybe you will learn to safely drive your Kahr.
I sold my CW9 because I had accuracy issues with it. I also hated the trigger. I'm all Glock going forward. Love my G43. G43X is next. Sold my G26 that I had since 2003. The G43 fits my hand much better.
The CW9 was designed for self defense & not competitive marksmanship. RTFM, the tolerances are uber tight (well made) and Kahr recommends 200 rounds through before questioning the reliability of the pistol. Spend some time getting to know it (500rds +) I'm sure you'll come around!
Read your manual man. Its not a rack n load gun. Its in ur book that came with the gun u load the mag in after ur slides locked back n hit the slide release... it will not have an issue loading. Keep racking it to load and I guarantee u that issue will be a permanent one
First of all, if you read the owner's manual, you would know that Kahr recommends that you lock the slide back, insert the magazine, then release the slide using the slide release to chamber the first round. Also, it's obvious that you didn't clean and lubricate the weapon before shooting it, since I can still see the heavy grease that the weapon was shipped with on the handle. Another tip that is included in the owner's manual before firing. I own three Kahr firearms and they are extremely accurate. Either you don' t know how to use the bar dot sights or you have terrible trigger control, which is apparent from the video.
I can't believe he left this video up....its pretty much a video of someone admitting they have no idea what they are doing, showing they have no idea what they are doing, then giving advise based on not knowing what they are doing. Love my kahr. Get some training bro
I have a KAHR CW9, CW40 and CW45. They are all accurate and reliable. I'm not sure what the author's issue is but he did state that this is his "first" gun. This appears to be true as he has trouble handling the KAHR safely. I would not want to go to the range with this guy! KAHR makes very good pistols. Other reviews of the KAHR pistols give them high marks! If you are thinking about buying a KAHR I would not rely on this video alone. Check out other KAHR reviews.
The way you describe the issues you have with this pistol confirms the inexperience you obviously have with firearms... all of your issues can be easily overcome with correct pistol etiquette. The issue is with you friend, not the pistol.
“This is the first gun I’ve ever owned.”
Yeah, we can tell.
Hahahah!!!! No shit right!? I mean this guy is just begging to either shoot himslef shoot someone else or put a hole in his wall. What the actual fuck he flagged his own face!!!😶
Not accurate? It's not the gun, it's you.
Kyle Dickson yup this is the most accurate gun I own and if you don't limp wrist it you won't ever have a failure. I have glocks fns Walther etc my favorite gun
Kyle Dickson sadly it really is his shooting being that bad
I was gonna say the same thing
Graham Bates & Erika hit 8" steel plates at 10yds, all 8 rounds, then put a 3" group on paper....
@@tmmmedia731 this is the reason I chose to carry this gun. I chose accuracy over firepower.
Please get some professional training.
and help!

He picked it up by the trigger 🤦🏼♂️
Bro scared the life out of me holding it by the trigger 🤣

@@vinago100 I had a CW9 and it was a great gun. He didn't read the owners manual. He's an idiot.
there is a video of a lady hitting a 200 yard steel target with the cw9 lmao its pretty accurate
No,he lost his credibility when he said that 9mm is the best,but 45 acp.
Lost me when he put the mag in and then stuck his finger in the trigger guard. There are no words.
I was cringing the whole time while I watched this..
Nick Wilkerson I'm so glad I wasn't the only one cringing!
Me three...

Glad i wasnt the only 1

Exactly
Worst gun review I've ever seen.
I know, not only is he clueless about gun safety, it’s the first gun he’s ever owned and he is going to tell us it’s not accurate?
🤦🏻♂️
One word for him: MORON!
He put a loaded mag in the gun , covered himself, and pulled the trigger. I am shocked at the level of unsafe handling
This is the perfect video on how not to handle and review a firearm.
On god every time he touched the trigger I got chillz 🥶🥶🥶🫣
@@FORTYcaps maybe your and idiot and don't realise that he still have cock the gun for it to be chambered. He can out hus hang on thr trigger as much as he wants AS LONG AS ITS NOT CHAMBERED . This ain't no video about how to handle a gun .
This is some of the most unsafe gun handling I have seen online. The entire video he handled a loaded pistol with his finger in the trigger guard. He really really needs to take a safety course
it's not LOADED
@@BDAILY365 Doesn't matter. You NEVER EVER put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire.
@@mrfilamfishing that's the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life. How do you practice
@@buddyfromyourgrandmasattic2363 Then you shouldn't own a gun. That's literally basic safety fundamentals when it comes to firearms. They teach you this in basic training as well.
@@mrfilamfishing you don't try fire?
Simple fix... don't own a firearm! You clearly don't know the basics of owning a firearm which makes it obvious you shouldn't own one. You are the type of people who give the rest of us a bad reputation......
So true...thank you for sharing it...
Unreal...take it down ..you have no clue...Where the hell did you get your info...omg...
Yes!!!! I commented pretty much the same thing. What an asshole right?! I mean my god i was scared watching this!
Very accurate pistol. Seek professional training!
I was hating on glocks for the same shit (inaccuracy) but once you learn that trigger reset and better your technique you’ll have great grouping, basically goes the same way for most firearms
@@yungaccent7917 true there are very few that are bad all around but most of the time is the user...
I shot very accurately when I shot mine today, with no problems! Dude just can't shoot.
But I am a experience shooter, so that has to be his issue.
Jason sell it to me. You seem not to know what to do with it so i'm willing to take it off your hands for your own safety
I was seriously waiting for a bang.
algierssolja same
I cringed waiting for pistol to N.D.!
Same man same
Zac Nead Some people think I'm looney. Because, even when I clean my guns, no ammo in arms reach. I have snap caps but I don't want live rounds around anywhere when cleaning. I've been handling firearms for over 50 years. Take it for what its worth, lol!
Best to ya'...!
Walter Miner I am a safety maniac .... there is no such thing as an accident there is always someone at falt...I agree with your logic
I carry a CW9 and train with it regularly. When I first got the gun, I tried to chamber a round without locking the slide back, and found that it wouldn't. I bought the Kahr used, and had no manual, but I figured it out pretty quickly. Lock the slide back, insert mag and release the slide - no problems. I've found the CW9 to be totally reliable and very accurate for a small pistol. It's not my favorite gun to shoot, but it's my favorite to carry.
My Kahr CW9 is Accurate as any other handgun and 100% reliable. Noobs making videos on proven weapons just need to go out and actually use firearms before giving advice on products or technique.
Accuracy doesn’t mean a thing when the paper weight in your hand won’t cycle a round because of magazine problems, feed ramp problems, failure to extract problems. Lmfao, you called it a proven weapon, lmfao 🤣🤣
Possibly the worst gun review ever. Can't blame user error on the gun. I've carried a cw9 for about 8 years and have NEVER had any of the problems mentioned here. I agree with a previous post. Take this video down
I love mine. I am almost as accurate with it as with a 1911. Please read your manual, load it the way the manual says, use factory mags like the manual says, put at least two hundred rounds through it like the manual says, and while you are at it, get some proper training. You can ignore all of us commenting or you can take our collective advice. I hope you take the advice and get trained.
You do NOT need a firearm of any type
Cody Hastings You do NOT need to say such imbecilic bullshit.
Hans Moleman see, his finger on the trigger? See the live rounds on the table? See how he didn't clear the chamber at the start of the vid? Yeah unacceptable. For the safety of himself and others he needs to pack it away until he gets some training.
You said it much nicer and eloquently than i could. Im a licensed firearms instructor...i had a hard time not reaching through the screen and wrangling this little dudes neck. Infuriating!!!!
Chris Hassell lol calm down charlie brown
This is your first pistol and suddenly you feel qualified to do a video??
Bob Stadnicki well anyone is qualified to do a video. He’s just dumb. Shouldn’t have made a video. I could see if he was asking questions or talking about how he’s new to it but no. He’s just dumb. 😂🤦🏼♂️
If you read the manual it tells you to use the slide release when you chamber a round. It tells you not to chamber a round in the manner that you are doing. You'll notice the gun has a lite recoil for such a small gun. The reason is because the recoil spring is stiff. It is a trade off. But, one that is frankly very easy to overcome.
what about the first round? rack the slide, lock it open with both hands, insert the magazine, then use the the slide release? no matter how much you love this brand, you have to admit that is a failture in design.
Everyone just ignored all the details of your review as they are distracted by your complacency in handling a firearm... you had a loaded magazine in the weapon and didnt even verify the chamber was clear when you pulled the trigger...then muzzle flagged yourself in the face several times to do a review with **loaded magazines** in your bathroom... learn to properly handle your weapon as everything in your video is what most gun owners are taught not to do.
Not trying to be a jerk or keyboard troll just want to save **your life** or the people around you from getting hurt.
An idiot indeed
This Jason Anderson character is truly a fucking dumb moron
A kind message.
Natural selection?
Not trying to be critical, but the manual on that pistol says to lock the slide back, insert a full mag. then release the slide lock to chamber the first round on every fresh reload. NOT to hand rack it to chamber your round. I don't know why, but it does work.
Someone who only owns one gun and doesn't know how to shoot it, is not qualified to make a video about it. It is a very accurate gun in the hands of any shooter that knows how to use it and yes I own a Kahr. You sound the guy at the gun range shooting next to me the other day; he could barely keep rounds on human size target at only 5 yards while I have no problem making head shots at 25 yards. You just need proper instruction and practice.
It's accurate...Follow the instructions. Use the slide stop to load the first round. Couldn;t get through the vid.
Never had a problem with mine either! It would shoot steel casings brass, reloads ANYTHING!!!
Was it just me or was his trigger discipline seroiusly lacking?
The motorsports project, that's good to know on the ammo. Say I have a question, is the front of the grip squared off like a Glock or is it rounded. I can't 100% tell in the pictures and no one locally has one of these.
Aaron Kennedy, yeah this guy is an idiot
Exactly...OP is a moron.
dude, if you have no knowledge of firearms, please don't give other people advice,keep it to yourself until you get properly trained,and then only give advice on what you know is factually true
ballan whitman yeah he talks about new shooters... Jesus Christ!
Well said. First thing he does is hook that trigger when he picks it up. I'm over here screaming at my phone 🙄
I swear a gasped for air...my heart skipped a beat when he put a loaded mag in. Than pulled the trigger without checking that it was clear. Get some training before you end up on worldstar
Yeah, I never such reckless disregard for basic safety. Truly shocking
You have to learn trigger discipline. Especially with a magazine inserted. You have developed some bad habits.
I have owned one for years. Wonderful weapon. Goes bang every time and accurate up to 40 yards.
READ YOUR DAMN MANUAL!!!!!!
Please Please!!!! Do not make any more videos until you have proper training!!! You have horrible gun handling safety skills and this video is just one example of what NOT to do over and over. For your safety and those around you please get trained on gun safety!! You're at 96% Negative viewers response!!!
When I get a new gun I'll usually spend some time holding it and getting used to the grip and the trigger weight and placement but damn don't do it with a loaded mag in it. Even if it isn't chambered that's just crazy.
I have this exact firearm. Just got it,,, shot it one time so far. Put 150 rds thru it. Winchester white 124, Fiocchi 115 gr ball, ISI jhp 115, and Sig elite 147 gr. It worked PERFECTLY. Overall the machining is tight, but that is good, and will settle after more rounds.
As far as accuracy, it shot right where I pointed it. To be honest, I get the feeling the person in this video has played so many video games, he is disassociated partially with reality and the real world.
If I get picky, my only issue would be the grip front and back (not the sides) is textured a little rough, but this will be a carry gun, so this prolly is a good thing considering in an emergency it might encounter sweat or even blood. This Kahr seems to be a well designed little firearm so far. thanks ....
PS: the person in this video might want to look into a HighPoint 9mm.
Don't suggest that! That guy will get himself killed.
I had an anxiety attack watching this. That is the most unsafe gun handling I've seen in years: finger inside the trigger guard and handling loaded magazines.
A double-action trigger is always going to have a long pull.
Any pistol can be accurate, you need more range time.
The spring tension from the guide rod is something all gun owners have to get used to.
I hope in the time you've posted this video, you've become a better gun owner and shooter.
STOP ✋️ THE GUN IS NOT LOADED
Firstly, the handgun is plenty accurate. I get fist-sized groupings at 15 yards. As far as the issue with not racking hard enough causing issues, Kahr says to have the slide locked back, then release to chamber a round. Also there is a 250 round break-in period. I like my CW9. It's been very good to me. Reason I bought it was because for such a small gun, I was as accurate with it as I was with my Glock and Beretta. To each their own though. Luckily we live in a time where there's an infinite number of selections for concealed carry.
This pistol is a good gun. It was the first I have owned and experienced similar issues with it in the beginning. However before giving up on it I got some advice from NRA certified instructors and they told me it needed a longer break in period 1,000 rounds. Took about 400-500 rounds for me to really break in, after that the spring loosened up and the trigger was broken in fantastically. The field strip and putting back the spring became easier as well. This gun is also one of the easiest I have come across to field strip and maintain. My only gripe with it are the sights, which can't be adjusted and I have to aim the dot of the front sight slightly above the grooves in the rear sight and not directly in between. After that minor aiming adjustment it's accuracy is spot on, no longer a major issue. I am very happy I held onto it and gave it a second chance, plus the price/quality ratio is superb.
Bro, there are so many things wrong that you did in this video
It is accurate.
You just need to learn to shoot it accurately...it's called trigger control.
After I got through the 200 round break in period, the pistol has been flawless. Had FTFs all the way up to shot number 195. Now more than a 1000 rounds sent down range without a hiccup - it's really a sweet shooting pistol. One of my favorites and I own way too many.
You should not be near a loaded firearm
Dude, you definitely need lot of safety training.....I wouldn't be shooting at a shooting range next to you.
Bluefields Fishing, hopefully he only visits staffed ranges. We all know they'd shut him down.
holy hell dude, you don't even use the correct part of your finger to pull the trigger
lonely robot, good catch. I was distracted by his lack of trigger discipline, and the live rounds on the table!
I’m about to try to get proper training and am curious by what is the right part of your finger to use?
Jessica, use the middle of the pad of the tip of the index finger. The idea is maximum contact with your bracing hands and minimal contact with the trigger finger in order to not disturb the sight picture. The fingertip is the most sensitive part of the finger as well so it is easy to train for that muscle memory for proper finger placement.
I don't usually comment on people's videos but this couldn't be more wrong. For all of you interested in buying a kahr, let me explain why this video is misleading.
First I own the same cw9. Have for 4 years. Never any issues. Extremely reliable weapon. I love how accurate it is (especially for a carry gun you're hopefully not engaging a threat at more than 15 yards anyway).
It has very low recoil. Most subcompact pistols are snappy in 9mm,this is not.
Some people don't like the long trigger pull every time, I actually don't notice it and like that I have to really want to pull that trigger, it's not sensative,yet not heavy.
The mags are extremely small, you can carry many of them in your pockets and not notice them.
Here's a huge pro- if you live in California this is your best option, you cannot buy a glock 26 unless you're LE and honestly I think this gun is more comfortable than the glock, you can get a full purchase on it, yet it's very small.
The price point is also amazing around $300. I've never had an issue with reliability.
The comment he made about not chambering is silly, yes if you slowly rack the slide on any weapon this can happen, they teach you to rack your pistol with authority, no matter which one. It's not a delicate flower rack that bitch. I've seen glocks jam from limp wristing them... So handle the firearm properly no matter what it is.
Metal mags unlike the plastic glock mags that can get stuck in the mag well.
This gun is great for a first time carry, a female wanting something small for home defense or an edc. Go shoot it yourself. Like I said us Californians have limited options, I like this way better than the mp shield, or the ruger lcp or lc9. Those are the only other size comparable, and I don't like their controls or my pinky sticking under.
My interest is every responsible legal gun owner to be armed and trained to take care of themselves, and their families, and this is a great first pistol based on the quality and price.
My next carry gun will be an hk usp compact 9 because of 14 rounds and I'm an hk fan, plus LE will let me have that, and I won't mind the $800 price. But for all you Cali people with a 10 round capacity, this little beauty is inexpensive, and you can put 5 mags in your pocket no problem, so get your ccws and pick one up.
OK bye.
Thanks for taking the time to give us the review that the title promised.
FYI, The glock 26 is legal in CA. Are you referring to the 43?
Just got mine today and took it to the range. Performed flawlessly through exactly 207 rounds. Extremely accurate as well. Hit more bullseyes at 5 and 7 yards than with any other pistol I have. A few people have said they shoot a bit low but I did not have that problem. Perfect size for ccw highly recommend. I actually started to rack the first round after 100 rounds just to see if I would have any issues and it still worked perfectly.
“Don’t buy this gun. It’s the first handgun I’ve owned.” Lol
I really hope this video is supposed to be funny and not a serious review, but I don't think it is. I've been in law enforcement almost 15 years and shooting all kinds of guns since I was a kid. I carry a Kahr CM9 off duty and I am required to qualify with it the same as my duty weapon, which is now a Glock 17. I qualified at 98% with my Kahr CM9...don't post a video ripping a firearm when you state that it's the first one you have owned. I have put over 1000 rounds through my Kahr and never had a malfunction. You might want to google "limp wristing an automatic pistol" and grow a pair before posting another firearm review.
Just watching handle that pistol made me nervous. You have a loaded weapon and you can't keep your finger out of that trigger guard and off the trigger.
Yep I agree , the magazines are finicky on these , I heard the steel base plate you would have to buy helps or there is something to sand down on the polymer ( pain in the ass kinda) also the slide is so tight not being able to rack a round in chamber is ridiculous . Kahr recommends having the slide locked back then releasing the slide lock lever to load the first round , which works . I think the more you shoot this gun the better it probably gets by breaking in more and more . The magazines really bother me . But I have to say I like shooting it when it works and it is very accurate for me and holds well in the hand and points well .
California resident here..
Our options for a single-stacked pistol is limited...
Most single-stacked pistols here are 'off-roster'
Only military and law-enforcement people are allowed to buy 'off-roster' guns.
The Kahr CW9 and S&W Shield are the only single-stacked guns we can have :(
You can't shoot. Don't bash the pistol man. I have a CW9 it Performs well.
the way you fumble around with the gun on your video is probably why you cannot hit anything with it. i love mine
Okay, a couple of observations. #1. You admit it's the first pistol you've ever owned. This is a huge red flag that suggests you're not really qualified to give a good review on a product since you don't have any real experience - or at least you haven't established this to your viewers. #2. You juggle loaded magazines into and out of a pistol you haven't cleared. Yes, I know, I can look at the extractor and see nothing's chambered, but the visual is amateurish and lacks any hint of professionalism. Don't you have any friends who can hold a camera? #3. You claim the pistol is inaccurate, and I can see you may have a grip issue that a more experienced shooter could correct. I've owned my CW-9 for about 4 years now. I use it for my annual qualification. It normally outshoots everyone on the line, many of whom use full size pistols. Now, I'm betting I could shoot head size targets at 20 yards with "YOUR" inaccurate pistol. I'm betting you may one day be able to as well.
I just bought one today..I paid $285.00 for it and boi you have never lied...the first thing I did when got home was load it up and tried to rack it and it did catch/jam but like you said, note to self, aggressively rack it or buddy turn around and run
How did I know his finger was going right for that trigger when he started to put the magazine in?
Damnit man CRINGY!
I have two Kahrs, a K-9 and a CW-9. They are as reliable and accurate as any other carry gun. You state it's your first pistol so you really can't give a viable review other than as a first time pistol owner. Please learn to index your trigger finger along side the slide when gripping the pistol. I cringed every time you placed your finger on the trigger especially after you inserted two loaded mags. I was reaching for ear plugs when you pulled the trigger. Not cool.
Wtf did I just watch. First off guns loosen up over time. Obviously you don’t shoot it enough. Second, guns aren’t exactly inaccurate, there’s learning curves to shooting some guns some shoot high some shoot low, practice makes perfect, thirdly, you overpaid , those go for around 280, a price range smith n Wesson and glock can’t touch. Do us gun enthusiasts a favor and clean your nails. Also stop buying guns.
Great feedback. I agree with you..WTF...
I've never seen one for $280, not even on grabagun or palmetto State and they are super cheap..
Treat every firearm as if it was loaded... fail
Keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times... fail
Keep you finger off the trigger until you make the conscious decision to shoot... fail
Know your target, beyond your target, and your surroundings... fail
Please read all of the below comments and take them to heart, you need to get training immediately.
Uhhmmm, operator , not the gun ; shoot it more !!!
I can tell your new so I'll give you some advice. The way to fix the spring is to leave the slide back for 24 hours the spring is not broken in it will cock easier after that or do you like most people do shoot about 6 7000 rounds and it will shoot great
Obviously he has never heard of the great Hickok45 and it really shows 🤘🏻
Yeah, this fellow needs to watch Hickok45 hit the 100 yd gong with that gun and watch several Hickok45 safety videos
Restate title: “Dont Buy a gun if you dont know how to handle one”
Ignore this man's opinion. Right from the beginning he say's "this is the first pistol I've ever owned" He has no clue what he's talking about and seriously needs some professional training.
It would be one thing if this was a first time gun buyers review...but still. Gun saftey 101 first. Practice second. Then go fo your little review. Even then not much of an opinion considering he only has experience with this gun and nothing else to compare it to.
Its innacurate. There is a video of a girl that takes this exact handgun out to 200 yards and hits steel. I know it sounds like bs but search it and see.
I have had two Kahr cW9s, both were very accurate and NEVER jammed!
“You really have to pull back hard”. OMG! The pussification generation! Too funny!
One of my first pistols was the MK9. The trigger took a lot of getting used to and is certainly not for beginners. Don't title your video with definitive statements regarding topics you don't know anything about.
What what?...CW9 is one of the best single stack firearm you can buy for under $350 PERIOD!
All Firearms Are Loaded
This means that whether you know that a firearm is completely empty or not, it is always to be treated as if there is a round in the chamber.
Never Point A Firearm At Anything You Are Not Willing To Destroy
Never cover anything other than your target with the muzzle of the firearm. Imagine the barrel is a laser pointer, whatever the laser lands on is a potential “target”. Always be aware at what it is pointing at.
Finger Off Trigger Until Ready To Fire
It takes a split second to move your finger out of the trigger guard and on to the trigger, for safety sake keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are pointed at target and ready to take the shot.
Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Beyond It
Not only should you identify your target, but also be sure of what is beyond and where the bullet has a potential to go. Often bullets go through the target, you should always be sure you can see, or are certain where the bullet is likely to stop if this happens.
Leave, the trigger alone, unless your in a firing range or your ready to use it.
I had this pistol before, and it shot as good as anything else I ever shot. With all do respect, you should brush up on shooting fundamentals. It's just a shame that someone might see this video, and be dissuaded to purchase a fine firearm.
Kahr recommends that you use the SLIDE RELEASE to release the slide, not slingshot it. I have never ever had a single issue with my Kahr especially after having READ THE MANUAL that came with it.
In California I have to qualify at 3, 7 and 15 yards and keep them in the 10 ring. I manage to still have the Kahr CW9 on my permit to this day. I think you need to understand your gun and why you cant manage to operate it. Some people have to have a specific gun to be comfortable, i get it. Its a great gun, not my favorite, but ita good gun-
I have the CM9 and it works Excellent! One function that i noticed was its great in accuracy at different distances. The "Pinky" extension s i purchased and added to magazines base plate refined my accuracy , concideberly . Also, i have to agree with other comments of how you're handling or fumbling your gun . Trying to release /insert mag with one hand? Dropping them on table?WHAT. LOL! This is your first gun and your trying to give advice on who or what it can be used for? This is a comedy video? Right?
I was shooting the Kahr P380, and that thing is probably the hardest pistol I've ever shot to pull the slide back. Part of it is because it is so small there is not much grip and slide to hold on to. It was decently accurate for such a small gun, and it was decently reliable too. But, i think my buddy paid like $750 for that thing with night sights, which for a polymer 380 seems a bit much.
Aiming problems are the shooter not what he's shooting. I own a cw9 myself and have never had an issue with accuracy. Also there's a video on CZcams where a female shoots the cw9 and hits headshots at like 300 yds with this pistol. Like I said it's more than likely the shooter and the technique. Now as far as racking the pistol and getting jams yes that is a thing but lime you said it's if your not racking it all the way and I've noticed that after I've cleaned and lubed the gun it never jams when racking a new round in the chamber. I'm curious if you've noticed this as well after cleaning yours? (if you still own this gun) the trigger is something to get used to but once done it is a great safety mechanism. As somebody who carries everyday with a round chambered. I really do appreciate this feature. I don't have an extended magazine with the gun so to see what it looks like is great.
Great gun. Very accurate!!
Love shooting mine and you should practice with it. Works every time
This is your first pistol, and you opine that it is not accurate? I have owned 22 or 23 pistols, and can tell you that the Kahr CW9 is a very accurate pistol for its size and specifications.
Yes, it is hard to "rack." That is a necessary evil of a "compact" 9mm because of the forces involved. Sit in your basement having a few beers and cycle it a thousand times by hand before you go into combat . Don't your break in the action on your semi-autos?
As for your statement that you don't recommend the pistol? You need to learn about guns, son. I suggest that, in addition to a fine-quality 9mm semi-auto like the Kahr, you get yourself a .38 or .357 Smith & Wesson or Colt (okay, a Ruger or a Taurus is fine). Put some thousands of rounds down range. Try a single-action, too. Man, that is sweet! Do you know why you do, or do not, like a Glock? What do you think about the muzzle rise of a .40 in comparison to the kinetic energy the round imparts? About eighteen pistols in, I realized that "double-action-only" was probably a good idea for a middle-aged f$%k like me, who doesn't carry a gun every day (but will still will out shoot you at the range). Get some experience, and then, and only the, should you start "shooting your mouth off" about whether you think the firearm is capable. Honestly, my man, the Kahr CW9 will out shoot you, day in and day out.
I have one that I've put 1100 rounds thru. It's a very accurate pistol. Try shooting it off some sandbags just to confirm that the inaccuracy problem is you.
Read the user manual. You should not load a Kahr by racking the slide.
You must load the first round by using the slide stop lever.
Other viewers comment us correct! Read instruction manual. You MUST ALWAYS chamber 1st rnd from slide locked back, then use slide release lever to load round. If you use the racking method the round will often nose dive in the mag and you get a failure to feed jsm. This is due to loading ramp being left of center
Kahr's are unique this way. Gun is quite accurate. You say this us your first pistol, so you are obviously a novice. Experience will cure that. Judge accuracy post shooting 10,000 rounds, then judge.
Regards
I realize that you are new to firearms, and in general, it is good to receive new shooter experiences, but I highly recommend that you shoot and learn from others who have been at it for some time. We were all new to firearms at one point and we learned from others with experience on how to safely enjoy our new gun. Hope you enjoy your pistol and be safe.
The sights are set up different than you’re typical hand gun. Normally you would align the front sights flush with the rear sights. But this gun has sights that are designed to look like a lower case “i” the two rear sights hold up the front sight. There are cut grooves on both sides of the rear sights. And they’re angled at about a 45 degrees and when you have an accurate sight picture it looks as if the rear sights are guiding you up to the front sight. Practice that and you’ll have a good handle on your CW9.
Im speaking from my first hand experience. 👍🏽 good luck.
It's not the pistol that is inaccurate. This pistol may not be FOR YOU. The way you shoot, you hand structure, how the gun fits in your hand, the way your finger interacts with the trigger, all these things will affect your accuracy. It's not because you are a bad shot, but you may be inconsistent WITH THIS PARTICULAR pistol. Try several other pistols, and measure how consistent and accurate and comfortable you are with each. That comparison will guide you to the RIGHT pistol FOR YOU. I shoot best with an HK PSP and worst with a 1911. My small hand size and the way I hold the gun combines with the pistol grip shape trigger geometry, and many other factors that make some pistols shoot well, and others not well. Go out and test shoot until you find what WORKS. Try a pistol training course. An instructor may spot one or more bad shooting habits that could make you improve your skill. Don't judge the gun, judge the interface between you and the gun, and change that relationship by trying other guns. You will amaze yourself when you discover which one works for you as an individual. Best of luck, and happy shooting!
I honestly watched this because I thought you where going to have a negligent discharge. I am not trying to talk trash, but guns need to be treated with the most respect, there is plenty of videos about safety and good habits. please watch some. you have two loaded Mags right next to you and you have your index on the trigger and you are dry firing. just remember bullets don't come back. you could hurt yourself and others.
R Fern I'm with you, guns are devices built specifically to kill.
How much have you practiced with it?
Get some training dude. If that's your 1st gun you need safety training.
I have only been shooting for a couple of years, but I have bought about 7,000 rounds of 9mm and fired off most of them. My Sig P250 subcompact has a 3.6 inch barrel and the more I shoot it the more accurate it gets. Of course I pay attention to my grip, my trigger pull (was that straight back or did I squeeze to the side?). Additionally, I shoot at you and lots of things around the house like doorknobs. Without ammunition, it is called Dry Firing. Another word for it is Practice.
Keeping the sights lined up and keeping them that way while pulling the trigger is all you have to do, Watch a few instructional videos and put what you can into practice. Maybe you will learn to safely drive your Kahr.
You don't know what you're doing or how to shoot then. This is one of the best carry guns you will find.
I sold my CW9 because I had accuracy issues with it. I also hated the trigger. I'm all Glock going forward. Love my G43. G43X is next. Sold my G26 that I had since 2003. The G43 fits my hand much better.
My lord.... please for the love of God take this video down
Please everyone.....take exactly nothing away from this video. Tune out as soon as he says this is the first pistol I have ever owned.
The CW9 was designed for self defense & not competitive marksmanship. RTFM, the tolerances are uber tight (well made) and Kahr recommends 200 rounds through before questioning the reliability of the pistol. Spend some time getting to know it (500rds +) I'm sure you'll come around!
Read your manual man. Its not a rack n load gun. Its in ur book that came with the gun u load the mag in after ur slides locked back n hit the slide release... it will not have an issue loading. Keep racking it to load and I guarantee u that issue will be a permanent one
As far as it being inaccurate; well own one, shoot it weekly, nail driver... just saying
First of all, if you read the owner's manual, you would know that Kahr recommends that you lock the slide back, insert the magazine, then release the slide using the slide release to chamber the first round. Also, it's obvious that you didn't clean and lubricate the weapon before shooting it, since I can still see the heavy grease that the weapon was shipped with on the handle. Another tip that is included in the owner's manual before firing. I own three Kahr firearms and they are extremely accurate. Either you don' t know how to use the bar dot sights or you have terrible trigger control, which is apparent from the video.
The Kahr CW9 is a fantastic firearm. I suggest you get some professional training
Dude learn how to use the gun first before you down grade a great weapon. Take this video down please!!
"first gun I've ever owned".......... "its not accurate" lolol
This is my first handgun....30 seconds later he's talking about inexperienced shooters 😂😂😂
Dude, dude. You got me in tears. 🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe he left this video up....its pretty much a video of someone admitting they have no idea what they are doing, showing they have no idea what they are doing, then giving advise based on not knowing what they are doing. Love my kahr. Get some training bro
clean your nails
Savage!!! Lmao
I have a KAHR CW9, CW40 and CW45. They are all accurate and reliable. I'm not sure what the author's issue is but he did state that this is his "first" gun. This appears to be true as he has trouble handling the KAHR safely. I would not want to go to the range with this guy! KAHR makes very good pistols. Other reviews of the KAHR pistols give them high marks! If you are thinking about buying a KAHR I would not rely on this video alone. Check out other KAHR reviews.
The way you describe the issues you have with this pistol confirms the inexperience you obviously have with firearms... all of your issues can be easily overcome with correct pistol etiquette. The issue is with you friend, not the pistol.
