Recoil Comparision of Kahr CW9 vs CW40 vs CW45

Andrew has a look (with video) at how these guns stack up in the recoil department. The results were not at all what I would have figured.... With Glocks, for example, I have always felt that the 45s were less snappy and easier to control than the 9mms.

Kahr Introduces the CM40

Alternate Headline: My damn hand hurts just thinking about it.

AmmoLand has the press release and this picture:

The CM4043 is chambered in a .40 S&W caliber, has a 3.0″ barrel and an overall length of 5.47″, with a height of 4.0″. The pistol weighs in at 15.8 ounces plus 1.9 ounces for the stainless steel magazine. Differences between the CM models and PM models include: the CM4043 has a conventional rifled barrel instead of the match grade polygonal barrel on Kahr’s PM series; the CM slide stop lever is MIM (metal-injection-molded) instead of machined; the CM series slide has fewer machining operations and uses simple engraved markings instead of roll marking; and finally, the CM series are shipped with one magazine instead of two magazines.

Holy crap that has got to be one hot handful to shoot. I am not sure I would like to shoot the 9mm version, but .40 is a bit much. Whats next?..... .357 Sig? I guess it will be desirable for LEO who are tied to .40 S&W.

Kahr CW45

The Vuurwapen Blog has a video look at this $345 pistol.

*Interestingly, the owners manual says that you are not supposed to use steel cased ammo.
