I am considering either the Kahr P9 or the K9 for my next purchase. I have a couple of questions however. I haven’t shot either, but I plan to in the next few weeks, I did shoot the PM9 in comparison to the S&W Shield, didn’t like it (the PM9) at all, the grip is just too short for me. So, besides the obvious (polymer vs. steel) are there any differences between the two? Dimensionally they appear the same, the steel version weighing an extra 7-8 ounces. I have read a few posts that the steel versions are more reliable than the polymer, but is this based on 1 or 2 incidents or is it more commonplace… or was it and has it been rectified in the current production models?
This would be for CC and also possibly for home defense. I know the K might be a bit heavy for daily CC, but I would most likely use a shoulder holster to mitigate the weight factor. I currently have a DW 15-2 and a Sig SP2022, but both are way too big to carry on my relatively small frame. Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated.
