(in my best Price is Right voice) A new Kahr!

[WoodchuckAssassin]

I finally found someone willing to part with their Kahr K9, and even better than that, they were looking for a gun that I had no interest in keeping and went with a strait trade. Win win baby! It has the elite trigger with wood grips (no idea who made them, but they fit the gun like a glove). I haven't been to the range yet, but boy oh boy does it feel nice in the hand. I was worried that after getting used to my cz that the K9 would feel too slim, but the ergonomics are fantastic. I'm a HUGE fan of all steel guns, and after years of searching, I found another great one.

If anyone who's familiar with the K9 has any ammo or holster suggestions, I'd gladly entertain them!

I have no gun or holster suggestions, or even experience with Kahrs.

Just giving a like for the excellent thread name

I don't have the K9 but Kahrs are gun guns. Enjoy.

Obligatory "pics or it didn't happen" post.

I have a CM9 so I'm already a fan of Kahr pistols. Haven't seen that many of the all metal guns but I understand them to be very well built and great for CCW. Photos when you get a chance.

I have an MK9 and have these holsters

 

[ArchAngelCD]

How big (or small) is that pistol? Can you snap a shot with something for size reference?

 

[Cokeman]

Do you mean me? I’m not near mine right now. Here are some that I grabbed from the internet.

The thread name is indeed most excellent. Made me chuckle, for sure.

I have no ammo or holster suggestions, but congratulations! (I love a good trade.)

I use a DeSantis SOF-TUCK for my CM9.

I'm interested in getting a Kahr for carry purposes so I will be watching this thread with interest.

Having sais that...

I haven't been to the range yet, but boy oh boy does it feel nice in the hand.

I think it was Old Abe Lincoln that said (paraphrase) "the hen is the wisest of all creation as she doesn't cackle until the egg is laid".

I wish you nothing but success with your new firearm.

Kahr's are interesting firearms. The long smooth trigger allows the shooter to get into a nice rhythm while shooting rapid fire strings. My PM9 has been a flawless performer.

I have a number of Kahr pistols... including a new-to-me CW45 on the way. I carry one daily.

Best belt holster I've found is the High Noon... it carries the pistol up high, has a slide guard, and works very well even without a retention strap. I liked it so much, I bought another for my 1911. The Kahr holster is lined, the 1911 unlined. I was trying to eliminate bulk with the bigger pistol, but I should have bought a lined holster. Just FYI.



My daily carry holster is a Galco IWB holster... that I don't really have a picture of.

My other holster is an Alessi shoulder holster that I typically wear when travelling... it's easier to access the pistol while setting in the truck seat, and certainly more comfortable. I have an Alessi for the 1911 that I've used for 25 years or so, one for the Kahr was a natural...

I would love to have that MK. Pricey though. I am sure well worth it. Beautiful gun. I hear they shoot very well. Thanks for the pic. By the way, what grip is that on your 642?

Congratulations on the Kahr! I’ve had a K9 for 16 years and has been my back up gun and edc for as many. I have put thousands of rounds through it without a hiccup. Most of those rounds were +P duty rounds. I carry it in a Galco IWB holster and a Galco ankle holster.

 

[Riomouse911]

Dang it! Now the music from the show is stuck in my head!! ...

Kahr pistols have always been, IMHO, very well made and easy to operate. Excellent pick up!

Stay safe!

Not sure if this pic will come through.

I have had two Kahr CW-9`s for several years now. And I Pocket Carry one with a Crimson Trace Laser Sight in a Desantis Pocket Holster most every day. In warm weather in my right front pocket of my cargo shorts in the winter in my jacket or coat pocket. IMHO my CW-9`s are just about perfect for a CC gun. At least they are for me. They are extremely accurate and very easy to shoot, and I think their triggers are just fantastic. I shoot both of my Kahr CW-9`s & my S&W 640-1 everytime I go to the range. I am extremely satisfied with all three of these guns

None of those are mine. I stole those pics from the internet. Only the gun in my first post is mine.

 

[Homerboy]

I have an older K9 with the black finish and it does fit me like a glove. I have two holsters made for my S&W Shield that fit the Kahr K9 perfectly.

Ditto on the all metal Kahr pistols. Mine is a NAA branded guardian in 32 NAA, but made by Kahr. Long DAO trigger, but its smooth. I always carried it loose in my pocket, but it's a bit smaller than yours.

Internet photo, its the little one on the bottom

 

[Sistema1927]

I'm confused. The OP posted that he had bought a K9, and eventually posted a pic of it, but most of the other photos are the MK 9 and the PM9.

Great little NAA. I had the exact one in .380 many years ago. A very well built, solid gun. I didn't know that Kahr made them. Did Kahr buy them out, or just import them?

I'm not entirely sure. On the front "drivers side" of mine is a laser etched Kahr logo. Mines 15-20 years old.

EDIT: apparently Kahr made the frames of the early guardian pistols. I dont know when the changes happened, but I read NAA is now making their own frames.

K9's are awesome. I bought one for my girlfriend to get her started on a centerfire, as the medium size and all steel frame seemed a good fit for her. I ended up putting night sights on it and carrying it myself until she got her CCW permit. Now I carry a shield, and like the lighter weight but still kind of miss the k9.
