I was very interested in Kahr starting in 1999 or 2000 (I considered one for my first semiauto handgun), but I did not have the money for what they charged back then as I was pretty poor. I often rented a K9 at a range that had one and really enjoyed it. A buddy of mine who made a lot more than I did bought a Kahr MK9 Elite and we both shot it a lot. Loved that gun. A little heavy for the size, but reliable, accurate, and fun to shoot. Then the P series came out, and in the PM9 Kahr invented the modern micro-9, a true pocket capable 9mm. My buddy bought the PM9 and we both shot it a lot. Loved that gun too and I long had in my head that I would eventually buy one.
When I got my first small 9mm, I got a SIG P290RS because it was less money, and I liked the trigger better than the more budget oriented Kahr CM9. While the lighter weight of the Kahr would have been nice for pocket carry, I live in MD and at the time couldn't have a MD carry permit so only carried when out of state so I didn't need two small Micro-9 carry guns*. As a teacher, the Kahr was still a bit of a reach for quite a number of years as well.
Fast forward a few years, I am far enough into my career I can buy pretty much any handgun I want (within reason), but SIG comes out with the 10+1 P365, revolutionizing the micro-9 market. Others follow suit (though strangely, not Kahr). When it becomes possible to get a MD permit, I look at all the 10+ round micro-9mms and go with the P365.
20+ years ago, Kahr was on the cutting edge of the carry gun market. At some point they got complacent. Waiting half a decade after the introduction of the P365 (6 years now) to come out with a double stack micro-9 (I assume it will be a micro-9mm) seems a little too late. It would be nice if it is enough to bring Kahr back into relevance, but I'll probably pass (though, if I see the right deal on a used PM9, K9 or MK9 Elite I'll probably get one just because I have wanted one for so long, but not for any real practical use).
Edit:
* I didn't need three small Micro-9 carry guns... I sometimes forget that I bought a Kel Tec Pf-9 a week or two after buying the SIG for the lighter weight and intended pocket carry (if I knew I'd come back to do that, I would have just spent the money at the start for the PM9). I sometimes forget about it because I rarely shoot it, I don't like it much, and it has never been quite reliable enough for me to feel comfortable carrying it so I never have.
