Kahr CW9 for the glove box
« on: February 08, 2012, 12:03:52 PM »
Went looking for glove box gun yesterday.....they had a Kahr CW9 on sale for $329 ;D.....ran 150 rounds through it with no problems...manual says to round 200 rounds before pistol to be considered reliable..........always a good idea.....was available in the same size in a 40 cal...after shooting....glad I got the 9mm..............should be a nice addition to the glove box ;)..long trigger reset

Looks like a good buy.    :)

Does sound like a good buy. 

My only comment is...how small is your glovebox?   ;)   I thought the purpose of such a gun was to provide more firepower than what you might normally have on you (and perhpas to arm an appropriate passenger).  Since size is not an issue, what about a Glock 19 sized gun?

Maybe I am thinking of a "truck gun."   ;D

Truck gun would be a stage coach double 12 gauge in the window rack... ;).....the gun is going in my wife's glove box......smaller hands... ;D

Sounds like a good plan.  My wife has had some health issues and arthritic hands.  She has an S&W 642 w/crimson trace for bedside/home, but I bought her a Beretta Bobcat (.22) for carry.  She has trouble racking the slide on auto's, but can flip the barrel and load the first round that way.  Better than nothing!

S&W 642 w/crimson trace is one of the best carry guns available............especially for someones  first carry gun...................most  forum members have multiple carry guns as you know........S&W 642 w/ crimson trace are the first words out of my mouth when asked for a gun recommendation.....I carry one myself at times .............still love the early S&W model 60 :-* ..My wife likes the S&W model 63 22LR.....she can't rack the slide on the Kahr....but she won't have too...........
