Any Love for the all-Metal Kahrs Here?

Can "normal" sized hands get a full four-finger grip on the K9 frame? If not, I'll certainly explore mag extensions for it.

I have normal sized hands and with the standard magazine, with the plastic floor plate, allows a full grip on the pistol.

Thanks... I just ordered a Galco holster and mag carrier for the K9, so I'll check back in when I see how it all works out.

I presently own 5 Kahrs. My K40 is definitely the best shooter of the bunch. I shoot it better than my Glock 23. tbhausen, you'll love the way the K9 shoots once you get used to the trigger. Think double action revolver, only a whole lot smoother.

I'd love to have one, haven't heard too much bad with them....and Donnie Wahlburg uses one in "Blue Bloods"

Yes the 8rnd mag with the extention gives your pinky a smooth and comfortable place to rest. You will like it .

I have enough room with the standard 7rd magazine (K820). The 8rd magazine (K920) is 1/2" longer and it is also available as K920G with a grip extension to cover the exposed magazine body when used in a K9.

Nice info... great to know there are options for tuning the length of the grip.

K9, standard grip is fine with pinky.

MK9, standard grip leaves no place to put pinky.

I've handled some of the older metal kahr's at a few 1500's and really liked the feel of them. I didn't think the price was all that great. I didn't really know much about them, though.

I've shot my father's P9 and it's a neat little gun. I just borrowed it to have a slimmer CC option for the summertime, as he doesn't CC (yet, I'm working on it.). I might eventually get a K9 of my own, if my impulse control fails. (I have "enough" carry guns!)

"ICF" - "Impulse Control Failure"... I like it

Got a t9 and a k9. They carry good bit I find the trigger pull hard to master. I am probably gonna sell mine at some point because I don't shoot them much and I have resumed carrying my 1911 most of the time. They are a nice well made gun just wish they didn't have that long heavy Dao trigger. The t9 feels very good in hand and carrys well and the k9 carried well in my boot with an ace bandage securing it to my leg as well as in a pocket from time to time. I never really paid much attention to the poly Kahrs but I liked the steel ones.

T9 is the biggest dark horse handgun currently on the market.

Big fan of the T9. Also one of my mother's guns. (It supplements the M10 my father gave her before they were married . . . in 1961).

I really like this pistol, it's on my short list. I've had K9's but never the T9.

I LOVE my K9....best "little" gun I have ever owned. Points naturally, reliable, soaks up recoil(well...its actually the wifes gun).

It feels like "quality" when I hold it....and I actually shoot the DAO trigger pretty well(I am a revolver guy too)....smooth as greased glass.

No way in hell would I trade it for anything let alone a ridiculous polymer gun.

God bless

The K9's are nice shooting pistols. You can have some fun customizing them too. This one was a rough blued K9 I picked up at one of the 1500's for 300.00. Checkered the frame, dehorned it, polished the trigger, added night sights, and had it refinished in black cerakote.

After owning several models of Kahr's back when they first came out, I went away from Kahrs and started buying the latest flavor handgun. After owning Glocks, Smiths,Rugers. Etc.. I am back to carrying Kahrs. I have found I shoot nothing better than a Kahr. They are easy to conceal also. No gun I have ever held feels as good in my hand as a K series Kahr
