Looking for a small 9mm for concealed carry, any experiences with a Kahr CW9 or Keltec PF9?
Thanks

    Kahr.

    Better in all aspects.

    I don't support Kahr for political reasons. I carried a Keltec 32 for a couple of years and bought their single stack 9 last fall. Good piece, price, & customer support.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    I actually prefer the Keltec, fits me better.
    And I would hate to give a penny to the "Moonies" at Kahr.

    I would take the Kel Tec between the two, but would get a Walther PPS over both.

    The moonies would like a one world government, with one religion, and no separation of church and state. Its a political and religious cult.

    To clarify here, the owner, CEO and founder of Kahr arms is the son of Reverend Sun Young Moon of the cult "Moonies" fame.

    I have no idea to what extent the owner subscribes to his fathers religious ideology or to what extent he is personally involved with the "Moonie" Re-unification church. The owner is actually a Harvard graduate, and set up shop in Worcester MA.

    But yes, the Kahr arms corporation is owned by the Re-unification church's holding company. So yes, the Moonies *DO* own Kahr arms, and supposedly all their armed security use them.

    Personally, I don't own one of these guns, though they do have a good reputation.

    Interestingly, new Kahr guns are not MA-compliant, and therefore new ones can't be sold legally in MA, *even though they are made there*. (There are other MA-made guns that can't be sold there, too).

    I don't buy Colt because the head man there isn't my religion either.

    He sounds like a smart man, wanting to build good guns. Not sure about the world domination thing, that sounds like made up internet hoax crap to me. Moon is pretty open.

    I have owned the 9mm and 40sw and they went bang first time every time. The polymer versions are easy to carry. My 2 cents

    That sucks about Kahr. I think you should go to your local gunshop and pick up and feel all your choices. Who knows, you might like an XD 9mm sub, which is what I carry.
