First Look: Kahr CW9 Lew Horton Special Editions

Kahr Arms recently partnered with Lew Horton Distributing to introduce three CW9 Lew Horton Special Edition pistols.

The first of the three pistols features an electric cobalt blue finish on the slide, trigger, slide stop lever and slide back plate.

An "All American" special edition honors our stars and stripes with special commemorative engravings on the stainless steel slide. Engravings include: "All American" on the left side of the slide, American flag stars on the left, and a pin-up girl posing in front of an American flag on the top of the slide.

The final special edition CW9 is the Molon Labe version. Its blackened stainless steel slide has 24-karat gold accents, including a Spartan helmet on the right side of the slide, text for "Molon Labe" on the left, and a Spartan Lambda Shield rides atop the slide.

Production of each pistol is limited to only 200 of each model, with availability beginning in early 2014.
