Kahr CW45 .45ACP Stainless 6 Rounds + 1 - NIB
Description: NOS is brand new in the box. The CW45 has a locked-breech, tilting barrel design very similar to that used in the venerable 1911. Disassembly is an even simpler process than the 1911 requires. However, the Kahr operates in double-action-only (DAO) mode and is fired by a striker—not an external hammer. Kahr is famous for producing compact, imaginatively designed pistols that work really well. The CW (Compact Weapon) 45 is a stellar example. While it digests bulky .45 ACP ammo, the gun is only 6.32 inches long, 4.8 inches tall, and a scant one inch thick. The stainless steel, conventionally rifled barrel measures 3.64 inches in length. Weight (unloaded) is just 21.7 ounces. Fitting the gun’s innards into such a compact package was a real engineering feat. One space-saving innovation was relocating the feeding ramp slightly to the left to center. In addition to reducing the height of the frame, it created extra space for the operating system. While the feed ramp is no longer centered, it funnels cartridges into the chamber with excellent reliability. The slide is machined from stainless steel, while the polymer frame reduces weight without sacrificing needed strength. The stippled grip feels good in my hand (unlike pistols with much blockier grips), and the gun points very naturally. There are no manual safeties—not even one that prevents firing when the magazine is removed. The gun’s multi-patented firing system blocks the striker-activated firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. External controls are limited to the trigger, slide stop, and magazine release. Trigger action is exceptional. The DAO trigger travels smoothly through a 5/8 inch-long arc, with barely noticeable stacking just before it breaks. The trigger on my test sample breaks cleanly under 5-1/2 pounds of pressure. This compares very favorably with the 12-plus-pound trigger pulls most revolvers require in double-action firing.
