Kahr P9 opinions?

[Sarge55]

I've tried just about all the Kahr models except the P9, and I'm thinking of picking one up. Was wondering what you all think of this model? It'll be carried primarily IWB.
All comments, good or not so good are welcomed.
Many thanks!

I've carried a number of smaller guns, varying from a Kel-Tec P-11, which is quite good (if you can shoot it well), a Star Firestar Plus, a CZ 75 Compact, a Beretta Tomcat, and a Kel-Tec P3AT. I had an early Tomcat and it was not a good experience; the later ones were better. I like the rest of them OK, but like the P9 best, when used with an 8-round magazine. I still have the others, but don't carry them.

Slim, light, almost invisible compared to the rest of the larger 9mm guns. Nice trigger, fairly accurate (really accurate if you practice a lot.)

Got mine used, from a THR member. Nice gun.

I like mine fine. It was early production, so it had 'the slide lock problem' that plagued some, but I sent it to Kahr, they fixed it free, and had it back in 10 days. It has run like a freight train offa cliff ever since. Its accurate, nice trigger, recoil is light for such a lightweight gun(though it is a bit of a handfull - snappy - with +P stuff), and eats everything I've fed it.

As fars as concealed carry goes, it's great. It's relatively small, light, thin, and flat, so it's quite concealable. I have a Bianchi pancake that's very confortable and just disappears at 4 o'clock, YMMV. HTH, my $.02.

+1 on Mike's comments. I used to carry a G26, but have gone exclusively to the P9. If you practice, it is a VERY accurate weapon. I've shot mine in IDPA and didn't do badly... or should I say any worse than I normally do...

I dont think you can do much better for a carry piece. As far as the size, feel, and weight of the gun plus it shoots great for a lighter and smaller gun and has a great DAO trigger..
I carry mine in either a CTAC IWB or a DeSantis OWB paddle holster.......drf

I've got the P9 Covert, which has a slightly shorter grip. It's a versatile gun, as you can make it a P9 by simply using an extended magazine. Mine has been a great gun and I highly recommend this model of Kahr.
