The Kahr CW9 is Kahr's value-tier compact 9mm carry pistol with a 3.6-inch barrel, bridging between the micro PM9 and the full-size TP9 in the lineup. 7+1 capacity, DAO trigger, and polymer frame follow the Kahr system. The slightly longer barrel improves velocity over the 3-inch PM9 while remaining concealable. The CW designation indicates the value-tier manufacturing approach.
