Awesome concept, but poor choice of MIM parts which weaken the pistols. Also, QC issues lately.


Polymer models are junk. All metal if you want a chance at having a good one.

7.....I own three (PM9, P9 Covert and P45); the P45 has some minor issues, but go "bang." The others have been reliable; the PM9 had to go through the 200-round break-in period before I could declare it reliable.

Kahr MK9-my most-often carried gun. Rate-10. NEVER a failure of ANY KIND since round #1.

MK9,i liked it just find,easy shooting
even with 115gr +P's.Accurate enough
to do the job and very reliable with
everything i tried in it.

E-9,shot just as well as my MK9 but i
had a problem with the front sight.It
kept falling off even when Kahr fixed
it.Why Kahr just doesn't dovetail all
their slides is known only to them.

My early K9 stainless gets a 10+ rating.

I can't even INDUCE a stoppage, and it's been 100% from the first round.

Had an early K9 (blue model, tight chamber) that was 100% reliable for the first 300 rounds (FMJ and HP) I put through it (after the original owner put over 1000 through it). Then, it started to jam (jammed at least once per mag on both HP and FMJ). After 8 months of sending it back and forth to Kahr, and with them replacing multiple parts, polishing this, tweaking that and STILL not getting it to run without a jam, they replaced the gun. I sold the replacement and haven't looked back.

Shame really. The gun fit me like a glove, but I won't have another one.

I had a MK40. It was very reliable, unfortuantly the first trip to range resulted in the front sight flying off to the abyss. I got the gun back, and after about the 4th or 5th time to the range the new front sight went to join its brother. After 3 months the gun came back from Kahr, with another front sight. I sold the gun a few months later. I wish I would have got the MK9. I sold the gun because I simply could not hit anything with it. I think less recoil would have helped me. I also could not get used to the loooooooooong trigger. I keep wanting another, but with the reports of poor quality going up all the time I think I will look else where.
