Kahr CW45 and the Comp-Tac Minotaur
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:47 pm
Hey everybody,
I recently aquired a Kahr CW45 to replace my Kahr CW9. Imagine my surprise when I loggen onto the Comp-Tac website and discovered the CW45 is not a model they have the Kydex "face plates" to match to the hybrid holster they make. I sent an E-mail to the "contact us" address and recieved a (promt) reply from Randy which stated that the P45 holster might work. He said he "wasn't sure since he'd never tried it."
Well, even with such a ringing endorsement I was loathe to drop 35 bucks plus tax and shipping on it right away. I trucked on out to Kahr's website and discovered the pistols are almost identical in dimesion save for the slide length. There appears to be about 3/10ths of an inch difference with the CW45 being the longer of the two.
My question is: Has anyone tried it, seen it done or heard of someone else tryingit and having it work? I know it seems a little obsessive to dwell on such a small purchase but I think I'd rather have something that works rather than relegate another piece of equipment to "thedrawer of uselessness.
By the way, the holster is the nicest piece of EDC kit I've ever indulged in. The fit, finish, comfort and retention are second to none and I'm immensely glad I own it. I fully endorse the product and just want to continue to use it. I'm excited to hear any input from you fine folks and I thank you in advance for any help you might offer.
I'm all ears.
