Does anybody happen to have a picture of a Glock19/23 and a Kahr CW9 side by side? I was wondering if the Kahr is appreciably smaller/thinner than the Glock...

It sort of depends on how you define the word "appreciably".

The Kahr is thinner.

Whether the difference is appreciable or not is pretty subjective.

If know one post a better picture I will get the camera out tomorrow. Mine is a P9 and G23. This is the only picture that I have of them side by side.

I thinks it MUCH thinner especially when you're carrying it all day. I sold my Glock 19 AND 26 because the Kahr CW9 is just so much easier to carry daily.

IIRC the Kahr is .9", while the Glock hovers around 1.2".

CW9 is 7+1, P9 is 7+1

I would imagine that you can get extended magazines for them.

My MK9 is 6+1 but came with a 7 rounder too.

I don't own a Kahr. Does anyone have a picture of a Kahr side by side with a Kel-tec P11. From what I can gather they are virtualy the same size. Length, height, weight, and the like.

The CW9 compares more to the Kel-Tec PF9 than the P11. The P11 has a double stacked magazine and is wider.

Yes but we are talking about less than 1/4 of an inch (about .200). I think that it is worth the extra 3-4 rounds.

Mine came with one 7 round mag and one 8 round mag.

Here are some pics I took a while back. S&W 642, Kel-Tec P11, Kel-tec P3AT, and Kahr CW9. Hardly ever carry the P11 any more because the Kahr has a much better trigger and doesn't eat up my hand like P11 does.
