If you care to read Greg45, here are a few of my past thoughts on the Covert posted on some other boards:
“I still think the Kahr P9 Covert is the best all-around CCW gun out there, that is if you only want or are only going to get/own one gun. Small/thin enough for pocket carry (with 6-round flush fitting mag) & large enough for belt carry. (with 7-round grip extending mag) The sight plain/radius is adequate on the Covert (same as the K9’s & P9’s) & the Kahr offers you everything you’d expect to find on a good defensive gun, in other words… real sights with plenty of sight options out there, a real mag release/slide catch, no manual safety, the same trigger pull from start to finish & a low bore axis… all that & light weight to boot! The Covert can do everything the P9 & the PM9 can, but neither the PM9 nor the P9 can act like the other.â€
---------------------
“I agree with Ascaris’s above post… I’ll add that I find that the P9 Covert actually conceals better with pocket carry over my PM9. The longer slide is no harder to conceal & makes the Covert’s grip sit higher in the pocket, which allows it to blend in a bit better.
All that & when the 7-round “grip extender†mag is installed in the Covert you basically have a regular P9 now.
I think the Covert is the most overlooked Kahr out there when it should really be their bestseller! (Which it is not according to Kahr… they tell me it really never took off. They said it didn’t help the Covert that the PM9 was released just after it either, which is probably the #1 cause.) The Covert can ‘act’ just like the PM9 then turn around & ‘act’ just like the P9… neither of those 2 (PM9 & P9) Kahrs can really ‘act’ like the other however.â€

â€I don't think 7/10ths is any considerable sight radius or gain in mussel velocity to justify the 1oz weight gain or size increase.†(Talking about the PM9 -vs- the Covert…)
My reply back:
“1oz isn't much when you get down to it... for instance, seven 147-grain Gold-Dots weigh .5oz more then seven 115-grain Gold-Dots. In other words, if I load my Covert up with seven 100-grain Pow’R’Balls & you load your PM9 up with seven 147-grain Gold-Dots, my Covert will weigh the same as yours, if not less.
The Covert is 0.7 inches longer then the PM9 is all.
YMMV, but the grip of my PM9 prints worst in my pocket then the grip of my Covert does… the Covert doesn’t sit high enough to be able to see the top of the grip in my pocket.
I am more accurate with my Covert then I am with my PM9… after some testing I find the PM9’s shorter ‘sight plain’ is to blame for myself. Again, YMMV.
By the way, I'm not knocking the PM9... I purchased one of those before I got the P9 Covert. It was only later on that I found I both shot & concealed better with the Covert. I just think the Covert gets verlooked too much when it shouldn't. It's a nice gun that can do things the PM9 & the P9 can't do all that well.â€
