It amazes me how prices go down and even how people regard these guns as less lethal when compared to newer higher capacity models. These are still very relevant and lethal.
I have owned several pistols over the years and the Kahr K9 is still my favorite overall in terms of fit/finish and overall quality. Obviously the capacity is lower than double stacked pistols but the K9 has a lot of really good things going for it. I can always tell if someone has great taste in firearms if they own a Kahr.
I’ve gotten to know Justin Moon over the past few months and his company is truly supportive of our constitutional rights. I honestly don’t own one but haven’t written them off either. They do have reliability issues to some degree but the K series are just beautiful.
I love my PM9 so far. It was the first pistol I ever fired at 15. 10 years later, I own one. Very snappy compared to my G19, but it fits in the pocket and reliably cycles 147gr HSTs. Becoming a Kahr fan, can’t wait for their X9 to come out.
It was cheap cause it was probably an NYPD buy back. The NYPD discontinued allowing it to be used and many of the thousands of officers who had them rushed to get rid of them for any pittance they could get for them. Glock cleaned up, offering the 26 for the k9 and 100 bucks. Sold ALOT of glock 26s that way
@@SolitaryMaverickbefore the Shield was an option the NYPD stopped authorizing the Kahr K9. It was not grandfathered in, as virtually all other guns were. The only other one to become unauthorized to carry was the S&W Model 60 DAO. For the Job to tell cops who spent their own money to buy a gun the department approved is a rare thing. The reason for it, just like the Model 60, was light strikes. The Job specified a heavy trigger and the guns became less reliable due to it. I have an NYPD Kahr K9. I collect NYPD guns since I’m retired from that agency. It hasn’t given me any issues but I shoot it very rarely.
My new kahr blew up in my hand on round 21, 5 weeks for warranty repair, mantis x laser cartridge doesnt work in it, cant even sell for 300$ a t local gun show. Dangerous and unreliable pistol.

Nice recoil control! I have a CW9 and would love a K9 one day.

It was the overwhelming favorite of nypd authorized off duty weapons in the 90s.
First movie I've seen the Kahr K9 in was Shaft (2000) with Sam L Jackson. That's what made me love it even more than I already do.

He’s a good dude
I carry my kahr cw9. Kahr firearms are some of the best slimmest pistols available. Great video

I got a used k40 for $350 at a gun show. No way I could pass that up. I holding it forever, they aren't even making the k40s anymore
Sweet
The best cinematic appearance of the K9 was when Phil Leotardo go whacked on the Sopranos! th-cam.com/video/_AC1FoIQVV0/w-d-xo.html
How do you like it thus far? I have 5 of them. A K9, two K40(s), a MK9, and MK40. All I'm missing is a T9 and T40. I EDC the K40 regularly.
It's a great piece for sure. Easy gun to shoot.
Don't forget to add the steel framed E9 to your list of models to collect. ;-)
@@comacoda Good gun, but I'm a stainless steel type of guy, lol.

The K9 was replaced with the Smith and Wesson shield. The G26 was already authorized.

What ammo weight were you shooting?
Fiocchi 115 grain Full Metal Jacket.
How is the trigger?
Like a sooth, consistent, long, 6lb DAO pull.
7.5 lbs stock. There's a spring kit you can install to bring that down to 4 lbs.

No, it didn't, I busted you lying last time you posted this nonsense
