I honestly believe that if the CEO, Justin Moon, didn't drop the ball over a decade ago until this very day by refusing to offer double stacks, innovate, and keep up with market trends, they could have been a juggernaut of a firearm manufacture. Kahr snubbed the market and their customers, so now I unfortunately believe their ship has sailed. The K9 and PM series were very popular in the past, and competition in the conceal carry market was slim.
I don't see their X9 being a hot sellers when now there are so many more established and very popular offerings on the market. I'm a Kahr fanboy, and even would rather have a Glock, Sig, M&P, CZ, HK, Beretta, etc. over the new Kahr. I don't even think the X9 is a true traditional doublestack. I think it's micro 9mm size, but Kahr's CEO and management are showing their incompetence yet again by marketing it as a "doublestack."
