I have the TP9, ( actually, it started as a P9 but I put a TP9 slide and barrel on it) I reduced the grip length to the shorter PM9 7rd magazines. This is commonly called a "covert" conversion. As the grip is the hardest to hide and the 4" barrel doesn't lose too much velocity
That was my EDC for quite a while until I got a TP45. I did the same covert conversion to it for the 5rd magazines. The TP9 covert became my deep conceal/backup.
Not many companies (none) have this configuration in their line up. They all will put a compact slide on a full sized frame for some reason. Should be the other way. When you get down to the 3" barrel, there is significant velocity loss.
I'm currently going down that same path with my Sig P365. I think that little pistol is just about as perfect as it gets for a CCW sidearm. So much so, that I have 2 of them.
But, I've always been unhappy with less than 4" barrels. So, as I always take the long way around things, I just bought a P365XL and will swap out the top end and have my favorite configuration on the 365. A sub compact grip, with the longer barrel. To make that trip even longer, I bought a 4.1" threaded barrel for the XL making it the perfect carry gun, for me. I'll still have the original 365 as a backup/poket carry.
Long way around the OP, but none of that means I will ever sell either of my Kahrs. Too much time and $ getting what I want. Most people that have Kahrs will keep them. Gun stores are still selling them as fast as the factory can put them out.
Despite the more recent innovations, Kahrs are still a top tier carry gun as evidenced by their scarcity on the used market.
My apologies for the thread drift. I'll post a photo of the Kahr TP45 Covert.
The only one Ive ever seen. And it still generates envy among the odd group of friends I've collected.
