This CW9 pairs a matte stainless slide with a black polymer frame for a durable, carry-ready package. The slide features rear serrations and a beveled nose for easier manipulation and holstering, while the molded textured grip panels with 'K' medallion provide a secure hold without added bulk.
The pistol is striker-fired and double-action-only, using Kahr's Safe-Cam DAO trigger system. It incorporates passive internal safeties and has no external manual safety. Controls are straightforward, with a left-side push-button magazine release. The design uses a MIM slide stop consistent with the CW-series feature set.
Sights are the bar-dot configuration, with a pinned polymer white-dot front blade and a drift-adjustable square-notch rear with a white bar. The barrel uses conventional rifling with a 1:10 RH twist. The offset feed-ramp and low-bore-axis design are hallmark Kahr elements.
Dimensionally, the CW9 is compact and thin: 3.5 in barrel, 5.9 in overall length, 4.5 in height, and a 0.90 in slide width. Weight is 15.8 oz unloaded. The single-column magazine yields a 7+1 capacity, aligning the pistol's slim profile with practical 9mm performance.
