One down side to either the CW or CT. It's a bitch to rack the slide...Holly stiff recoil springs bat man! I have to be careful to not short stroke when racking the slide. My wife, simply cannot rack it.

I'm sixtyfour with hands that are less than meaty - no problem here. Easier than the Ruger LCP or P938. More comfortable to shoot, and the mag invites handloading it.
No harder than my 4566 TSW. What is this "hard to rack" you speak of?
Anyway the LCPII is about the closest according to weight and size, which puts it in that class which include the Bodyguard, etc. As for racking, you only do it once before you insert the first mag, after that the slide release engages on the last round and you don't rack to reload. It's not needed. Drop mag, insert new, drop slide release per Kahr's written instructions.
Works for me.
Please tell us you aren't loading a mag under a closed slide with nothing chambered and then trying to rack it. I read of people who do this with other guns with slide or bolt releases and it's not part of the manual of arms for Kahr.
