For years I've used a Colt Detective Special as a nightstand gun, but recently I've been thinking about using a mid-sized or compact 9mm autoloader. I have a SIG P225 and thought about using that, but I'd prefer something a little smaller. After a little research, it seems like the Kahr K9 Elite 2003 (K9098A) with a stainless steel guide-rod and big dot tritium sights would be what I'm looking for. But I have a few questions and was hoping that you'll could help.
1) How does the K9's reliability compare with a SIG P225 or P239? (I would be using Winchester 115gr Super-X Silvertip hollow points)
2) Is the bore axis of the K9 lower than the SIG P225?
3) How is the trigger on the K9 Elite?
4) How difficult is the take down and cleaning of the K9 compared to the P225?
5) Is the "trigger reach" (distance from the back of the grip frame to the face of the trigger) less than the P225?
6) How long do tritium sights last?
Also, I'd appreciate any general opinions/input on the K9 Elite, especially as to how it compares with the SIG P225 or P239. Thanks.
