Kahr fanboy here. I've owned many Kahrs and I'm always an advocate for them. I trust my CM9 more than any other gun I own. If you stick to any of their 9mm variants, you should be good to go.
I just picked up a used P380 and I'm having some issues. I've bought a bunch of replacement springs to see if that works. I'm reading mixed reviews of their 380s online, so I would only buy new if going that route.
I had an extractor pop out of an older CM9 of mine. It continued to function correctly for a few mags before I noticed. Anyway, their customer service was excellent and took care of me. They also buffed/polished the rest of the gun while it was there.
Kahrs definitely have steel rails, just not in the normal spots. If you look at the slide, you can see the additional smaller cuts where the slide meets the steel rails. One could argue Kahr has more steel than other competitors. See the attached:

You are correct about the rails. I completely forgot about those little "front" rails being there. I haven't shot or opened up the P9 in a couple years. It's the only gun that has that 'unique' of a trigger that I own. It takes me a little while to adjust to it when I take it to the range. I much prefer the triggers on the other guns I have. I should probably let this one go sometime. I don't normally do that, but it's a good possibility for this one given how little I shoot it.
