New guy with a "new" T9

[dkmatthews]

Hello, everyone! I took a trip to my local dealer earlier this week to look in his 9mm cabinets. I was just about to leave (no Hi-Powers in stock) when a stainless steel beauty caught my eye. He had a Kahr T9 tucked away in the corner of the cabinet that I almost missed. Other than some shooting wear on the outside of the barrel, it looks practically brand new. We haggled briefly and I walked out with it. It turns out that it shoots just as great as it feels in the hand.

Consider me a Kahr fan! :)

Congratulations on the T9. Good luck with it.
I am beyond green with envy. The T9 is on my very short list.

damn that is stragne u hardly see them new in dealer cases, let alone a used one. Nice find, and truly one of kahrs finest. If u can't hit anything with that gun, then u in deep do-do with the rest of the kahr line.

look up two good sticklys though, even though it is running right.

#2 propper prepping of ur kahr.

nice gun, nice find.

I bought it just on the obvious craftsmanship in the piece as I have never owned or even shot a Kahr before. It's not only easy on the eyes but just about ideal for concealed carry.

My favorite handgun is the Kahr T series. Welcome to the family!

Anyone that don't love a T9 plumb to pieces is a gosh darn communist.

I had the distinguished honor to hold one several months ago at our gun show. Had to pry it out of my hand to put it back. Just didn't have the marbles.

It was a sad but happy day. We were made for each other as much as one half man and one 100% beautiful gun can be made for each other. I'm tearing up here.

Can you post a picture of it? High def please, thanks!

In the immortal words of Dietrich....

That makes my britches stand out in front.

If there's anything nicer than a T9, it's T9 with big dots on it. I'm trying to catch my breath here.

Welcome to the forum. The T9 is a good place to start a collection. I don't think I've ever seen one with those sights. Very interesting. Your serial number makes it only a couple years old. Mine has MMC sights which are OK but nothing to get excited over, and a 014X serial number...older but hardly worn at all. Enjoy the new Kahr.

[jocko]

I have the MMC sights on my K9, can't say I hate them but I sure don't love um either....

[csman22]

nice picks of the T9! I have one and it's a great gun.
I just got a TP45 and it's another T-series winner.
Enjoy your new t9.

Isn't the tapered nose on that puppy a new thing? I only held one and I don't recall if it was blunt or tapered. I thought it was blunt.

Add this to the list of things I just don't know.

[dkmatthews]

Thanks for all the kind words, folks! I don't know much about Kahr pistols (yet) but that's why I'm here. :D

I'm enjoying the T9 so much that I might have to go back for another Kahr!

Always had a taper as far as I know and my earlier production demonstrates, as seen in the photo.

[FLBri]

agreed. I have one of the first handful of T40's released (#7 ... as in 007!) and it has the taper. As do my t9's which are newer.

[dkmatthews]

My T9 got a big brother!
