What Kahr pistols have you got?

[kahrcrazy]

Hey everyone. As you join share with everyone which pistols you own and what you've done to them. Give everyone some ideas!!!!

K40 - stainless guide rod, wood grips
MK9
PM9 - XS big dots
P9 Covert - ported barrel

[zebraD]

K9 - Stainless
PM9 - Black

I haven't done anything to upgrade them yet. They both seem to work just fine as is.

[pm9]

PM9 - Stainless

Nothing, goes bang every time. :-)

[kkealy]

P45, Tommy Gun.

No mods. My P45 is my truck piece. The Tommy Gun is my pride-of-place piece in my gun room...

[ladydatura]

:D Love the fit for the size of my hand and even during the first couple hundred "break-in" rounds found it performed extremely well. Would definitely recommend it to anyone else who has a smaller paw like I do.

[retread]

i have owned two MK-40s-i only have one now-
Mk-40, wood grips, alessi inside pants holster

[Dzozer]

I have the following;

PM 40 Black DLC
MK 40 Elite with Crimson Trace Grips
P380 2-tone

Love all 3! :D

[corey]

I carry the p9, added the trijicon sights for fun

[MiltonY]

PM9 Black with XS big dots, my EDC;
K9 Stainless with XS big dots and wood grips, my "dress" gun

[muddog49]

CW9 with stainless guide rod and hogue slip on grip. Nice shooting pistol, love the size and feel in my hands. After the break in, it have become very reliable.

[NavJAG06]

PM9 SS W/ tru dot night sights. Great pocket carry firearm. Use a FIST Kydex #5 holster. Great combo.

[freedomsadvocate]

I am new and this is my first post. Just wanted to say 'Hi'. I have a PM9.

[WacoKahr]

Also new to this forum.
K40 with Trijion night sights,
Glock 23 with CTC laser.

[jim4065]

CW-40 in a Galco Miami Classic holster. :D

[junior 88 fan]

PM9, well, I just sold it a few weeks back. Waiting for an all black P380 with nite sights or if my patience wears out, settle for a S/S with nite sights when they come out.

[CaputLapidis]

I have a pm40

[WMD]

I only have a P380 at the moment (which I dearly love!). I will say however, I shot a CW9 and was amazed at the accuracy. I put 7 rounds in essentially one hole (maybe slightly larger then a quarter) at 10 yards shooting off hand. Not sure if I can do that again but I really hated to give that gun back to its owner. I think the CW is next on my list. :D

[mr2blue]

Kahr MK3 with cocobolo grips. Love this gun

[mbabc]

PM9 w/ nite sights. A great quality pistol.

Hoping a P380 will soon join it.

Mark B.

[nvmypt]

Guess I got hit with the "Kahr bug" pretty bad. In the last six months I acquired:

K9 Elite with Crimson trace
K40 Covert
CW40
P45
PM9 in black

Just added the XS Big Dot sights to the PM9 and absolutely love them. Will be ordering two more sets to add on to the other guns. I need to find the "cure" for this bug as it is rather expensive! STay safe.

[steve666]

K40 Matte Stainless with Smooth Wood Grips, Trijicon Night Sights, a stainless guide rod, heavier than stock recoil spring and lighter than stock striker spring. I shoot CorBon 135 gr or Remington 155 gr Golden Saber for serious social purposes and whatever is cheap and available (S&B, Wolf Brass, Winchester USA, etc.) for practice. I use a Don Hume Open Top Pancake Holster.
I have a buddy who has exactly the same set-up except he has Checkered Wood Grips and uses a Milt Sparks IWB holster.

And I goofed, it's 17 pistols.

[sgrizzly]

Just became the owner of Kahr TP45. Love it.

I rear gobbs of stuff on the internet about folks that thought that their Kahr was junk.

Mine is tight and accurate, 1.5 inch groups at 7 yards. One FTF out of fifty rounds. I'm very pleased.:

[dartsailor]

I have:

PM9 in black with night sights - I love the size and weight, great for everyday carry

MK40 Elite with night sights, stainless guide rod, and wood grips - I love this gun, very smooth.

[SteelShawn]

P45 is my Concealed Carry piece. No modifications. I love this gun... accurate, easily concealed and 6+1 rounds w/ extra magazine. This is the best carry gun I've ever had.

[Kahrbyfahr]

I have a K40 which I bought new in Aug 02. Installed the Haarts recoil reducer and just recently Trijion night sights. At one time I bought the Cocobolo grips but changed back to the original rubber ones - a more firm feel. I've never had a misfire or hangup - it just keeps firing!

The K40 is my main carry gun (my secondary one is the Para Companion C7.45LDA).

All in all, I'm very pleased with the K40.

[big bear]

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and just wanted to say Hi!. I have a PM 9 that was made in 2007 and love it. It has the black diamond finish on it and all I have done is buy two extra magazines for it.

Talk to you later, Andy :cool:

[500KV]

Got only 2 at present.
CW45 and PM9.

[kahrguy9mm]

CW9 with Crimson Trace trigger guard Laser. Gun shot GREAT right out of the box! Laser was dead on after installation and gave the gun the right amount of muzzle weight. I love having a full handed IWB draw with NO fingers left dangling or need to reposition before shooting!

[LaVere]

K-40 40 SW Stainless Steel

[skipper49]

I let a fine MK9 get away, but my P-40 that I've carried for seven years is going to stay with me.
My next one will be a K-9 Elite, as I'm paring down to 9mm's and 45 ACP in auto pistols, but the P-40 still stays.
Nothing, NOTHING, with adequate power carries as well or handles as well as the "normal" size Kahr. Can you tell I like them a lot?

Skip

[dglock]

CW9 and PM9 no mods, the pm9 is my carry piece with a pocket holster.

Great guns!


don

[X Mag]

My lovely wife and I constantly carry our PM9's. They have become our favorites to have at hand. Looks like we are in good company.

[bowyer2002]

I had a K9 but it was a little too heavy for CCW. Downsizing to a P9 with a Frank Duren colorized (he hates to call it paint) slide, nite sights, smoothed feedramp and sear has made it my everyday companion.

[macflyer]

Bought a P9 with night sights a few months ago. 500 rounds with no problems.

So far the best CC gun I have ever owned.

I will probably try the new laser sights from Kahr soon.

[yankee2500]

I have a PM40 and so far have been very impressed with it. I shoots great and is easy to conceal.
John

[misunderestimated]

New member also Have sent allot of time at glock talk.

My first Kahr is a p380 and I am looking at a 40 caliber gun, I hate to admit it but I am thinking of the 40 only because I always see 40 amo on the shelfs

[Dave1899]

It's an MK40 Stainless with Crimson Trace Grips. This is my carry pistol and I love it!!!

That's why I bought the PM40, if you hit Walley World at the right time you can get 9mm and sometimes 45acp. But there are 40S&W on the shelf at any Walley World I go to all the time, less now that I have a PM40:D
And the added bonus is the PM40 is sweet to shoot and a breeze to carry.
John

[floydusmc]

Black PM9 with XS Big Dot.

[80strato]

I bought an E9 a while back and it was my favorite 9mm until I bought the PM9. I made a pocket Kydex holster where I carry all the time. I also own a MK40. The only trouble that I have had with it is that I lost a couple of grip screws while shooting. I put a little locktight on the screws but haven't shot it since I did that. I also bought the P45 and when I went to shoot it I had another 45 to compair it too. Needless to say, I sold that other 45 at the next gun show. I love my Khars and have my eye out for the PM45 - I guess I'm just Khar Krazy.

[ronin]

I have one Kahr - a two-tone PM9 and loving it! :D

BTW, Good to be here - sick of talking Kahr's on Glock Talk. Nice forum layout guys!

[Dozer]

I have a K40 Elite 2003. Got some wood grips for it, but went back to the rubber grips because the wood is too slippery. Mitch Rosen holster.

[johnh]

Okay, you guys with the Crimson Trace talk are going to cost me money and get me in trouble with the Mrs. I have got to try that on my K9....

:D

John

[G3326]

I have a pm9 and a cw9. I carry the pm9 more than the cw9 because i can hide it a little better.

[rock]

K40 & PM9, both are nice guns.

[mrjordan2u]

CW45, with 6 and 7 round magazines. Stainless, Black Polymer.
(I got it for my Ol' Lady, but now i want one)
S&W Model 629, 44 Mag Classic. Hogue Grip. Nickle Polish.
S&W Model 59. 9mm, 14 round magazine. Black.
Side by Side 12 gauge.
OverUnder 12 gauge.
Ruger 22 Rifle. too many little fun accesories to list.

[.45mac.40]

Howdy ya' all ! ( I learned to say this, last year, when I moved to Texas )
I also carry a CW40 .... 24/7 ... what a blessing after carrying my big daddy XD .45 ( which I also luv )
But even the Kahr, in a matrix holster will sweat up a storm !
Concealing the CW40, under my T-shirts, OWB is sure easier than the full size .45s.
I like tha' .45s .... maybe a CW45 is in tha' works ???? :D
Mac

[swampfox]

I bought a P9 about 9 months ago, and I love it. All I've done to it is put on the Agrip stick on grips. My wife loves the gun too. Could use any suggestions on concealed carry options.

[Bigcube]

PM9, fairly new to Kahr. So far I like it, just a couple of quirks I might ask advice on...

[Sooner79]

PM9 black and CW9

[Orion2see]

PM9, K40 Elite - both with night sights.

[kpm9]

Pm9 in stainless, and looking for a KP9094 or KP4044.

[sj kahr k40]

k40 stock but will be putting big dot on it soon

[OldGuyinTN]

I have a CW9. At the time, I wished I could have afforded a PM9, but the CW9 is everything a person could ask for. I have more than 1000 rounds through it, and carry it every day. I mostly use a Don Hume open-top IWB holster. It's adjustable on the belt, comfortable, sturdy, and sits tight & low without getting in the way of a full grip when drawing. It's inexpensive and good quality. I also have a thumb-break belt slide for the heavy clothing season, but really like the Hume IWB. My wife has a beautiful over-the-shoulder purse with rear gun compartment from Ray's Holsters (M150 Crossbody Large Tote), that she loves.

[lawndart]

Pm9, cw40, p380

[rclink]

I carry a P-9 and have a P-45 that need some more rounds put through to get broke in. These are my 4th. and 5th. Kahrs. Carry the P-9 in a kramer IWP holster all day, and forget it's there at times.

****

[Hammer]

Nice site, glad it found me.
At present I have 2 Kahrs. A CW9 and a P9 Black w/nightsights. I really like the CW and had no intention of replacing it, until I saw the P9 at a local Dealer in the used case. Couldn't pass it up.

[rperyam]

I have been looking for either the CW .45 or the PM .45 but they can't be sold in California. Come on Kahr, help me out.

I settled for a CW 9 and am quite happy with it. I've had it for only two weeks, but have put 200 rounds through it without a problem. Not sure I will need to do anything to this gun other than carry it 24/7.

[acb777]

PM45, S.S.
and
P380, S.S.

Carry both. PM45, strong side draw. P380, weak side draw.

[SixM]

No Kahrs for me.........yet.
I'm waiting patiently for the p380 to become more available, and then maybe I will own one.
Looks to be a great little backup piece. ;)

[cowboy54]

I have a P380, MK40, and PM45. I have done nothing to them, but carry and shoot them, and they run perfectly every time!!

[DakPara]

I have a P9 and my wife has a PM9, both with factory night sights.

Nemesis, SuperFly, Matrix M7X, and Galco JAK slide holsters. Mostly 124 +P Gold Dots.

No mods yet except Handall grip sleeves for both.

Thinking about a stainless guide rod and 4" ported/comped barrel for the P9.

[8th SPS USAF]

I have:

PM45
P45 Blk slide

Owned:

PM9

[Hawkstp]

Right now I have:

[dirksterg30]

Kahr MK9 Elite; in addition the the Kahr, I have an M&P9 and a 9c, as well as a Kel-Tec P3AT and a Ruger MkIII.

I'd love to get a P380 at some point, but right now they are rather scarce in my area.

[MattTheKnife]

I have an E9 that I bought in 1998. It was sent to a gunsmith for a black teflon coating and to have the Elite 98 trigger installed. Later, I had a front-sight dovetailed.

More recently, I bought a CW9 (remember those stimulus checks last year?). I quickly had the grip chopped to the PM/MK size like the old Coverts. Eventually I learned how to perform my own trigger job. I now carry my CW9 every day.

[Law Pro]

Great compact 45, I just added the agrip to it, feels alot better. When is Kahr coming out with the 6 round extention magazine?

[n0igu]

PM40 and p45. Had a CW40 but traded it for the PM40. I've had a P380 on order since June.

[Nitro700]

Kahr K9 Elite98 with wooden grips AND P380 both with XS Big Dot sights.

[johnh]

I like the wood grips! I have been toying with doing that myself. Call me old fashioned but I still like wood panels on a gun.

John

[greenjeans]

CW9 and CW45. Both totally stock and both great pistols.

[mic214]

PM9 Stainless....

[Cappy]

I have the P45 and a PM9. Good guns and both shoot real nice!

[Makai]

K9 matt ss, NYCPD trigger and night sights. Only pistol that fits my small hand. Just love it! Next one will probably be a P40. Can anyone tell me if there is a lot of kick back with the P40?

[Makai]

Thanks for the info. For my first gun, I purchased a k9 because I figured the SS would absorb the kick back. I thought my next investment would be a p40 for the lighter weight... but you've convinced me I should stick with SS.

Thanks!

[dshreck]

Kahr PM9, P40 with nightsights, and P9. I have added Hogue Handall Jr. Grips to all three. Looking forward to getting a MK40 with Big Dot nightsights and checkered wood grips.

[cincinnatijim]

We have an MK-9 2003 Elite that is my wife's favorite. I bought a P 45 a few months ago and really like it.

[lunde]

I own five: PM9 all-black, P45, PM45, K9 Elite 2003, and MK9 Elite 2003. All five came with night sights from the factory (a very cost-effective measure). I did have a sixth at one point, specifically a CW9, but I sold it. It was a fine pistol, but didn't hold my interest like the other ones did.

[Suecq]

I have a PM9 black and I have added a Crimsom Trace laser to it.

[Dogman]

PM9 stainless, had it since 2004.

[cynergyou]

I have owned 3 different Kahr K9's over the years. I traded away the first two, but couldn't stand being without one, so I bought my current K9 almost 2 years ago.

It's a great gun. Compact, accurate, reliable. I have kept it stock, except for replacing the rubber grips with the factory wood grips (with checkering).

[proudtoshootpentax]

I have two

P9 with the A-grip, I like that better than the plastic. I've had it for more than 3 years now, excellent little pistol
just purchased:
PM9 with black slide, added a crimson trace and the grip extender. This one will live in my pocket. Just took it our to the range for the first time last night. It gobbled up 150+ rounds of ball, and about 10 of each of the +P 124 Golden Saber and the +P+ 127 Ranger. Never a hiccup. Neither of my guns ever yet gave me any problems during break in.

I am still a little surprised every time I shoot these guns how little recoil there is. I don't think even my full sized M&P is any tamer.

[1sleekMK40]

MK40, Sleek, Sweet every time!!!:D

[tv_racin_fan]

We have a couple...

Box stock CW9.
Box stock K9.
Black K9 with stainless guide rod, target crown, polished trigger, melted frame.

The wife chose the CW9 when I convinced her to get a handgun for carry and we liked it so much I aquired the K9 which she liked so much I had to get her her own K9...

[PastorPlinker]

Why mess with perfect?

[camper]

P380 and PM9. No mods.

[lefty]

I've had the CW 45 since last year. It is my main carry and i love it. Still stock. I use the Kholster for a comfortable carry.

[zena]

I carry an all black pm9 with night sights, straight from the box, in a leather Don Hume IWB holster or when I can't conceal it's in a suede pocket holster in a separate compartment of my purse. It has been accurate and easy to shoot since day one. Love it.

[yankee2500]

PM40 stainless slide, factory night sights, Hogue handall Jr, R Grizzle Leather OWB and Galco pocket holster. Was thinking about getting it ported but not sure if I will bother. Great shooting gun.
John

P 40 Covert

[dhondo]

PM 40, used a bike intertube,three layers,around grip to thicken it up and give it better grip. Im new here looking forward to meeting you all.

[koyanistazi]

K40 that I carry in the summer or anytime.
MK9 Limited addition Birdsong Black T, no modifications to either. May send K40 to my favorite gunsmith Bill Ogelsby for a dependability check. Haven't had any issues with either gun but a 4th generation gunsmith is a treasure and rare to find! Besides he's very very funny!

[Dogtowntom]

Have:
K9
CW9
PM9 (came w/ factory nightsights, the only thing I've done is add the "Rubber" DecalGrips)
P380

Want:
T9
T22 or P22 (.22LR w/ten round mag) Make it I'll buy it.:D


.

[G20-IWB24/7]

The current ones that I own are:

*MK9 w/Trij & Lasergrips (my EDC-ankle gun)

*K9 Elite '03 w/ XS Big Dot, highly polished slide flats, barrel, guiderod, etc, Steve Bedair SS guide rod, thinned & refinished wood grips, etc....(I *think* that's it) It's my favorite gun. Here she is:


http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/JAGINWA/025.jpg

Ones that I have owned in the past:
Black K40 x2, Stainless K9, PM9x2 (one DLC, one not), P9 Covert, T9, another MK9, and uh, I think that might be it.

[DblTapFst]

Hello from Phoenix.
I have (bought in the past 2 months):
a P-45 with stainless guide rod with LimbSaver grip and
a K-9 98 Elite.

I plan to acquire:
T-9 and
P-9 black slide with N/S (as soon as I can find either).

I guess I am going Kahrazy. It is great to see a dedicated Kahr site!
Cheers.

[frferron]

Hello All,

I'm an old 1911 guy. I'm so old I attended S&W Academy when they still taught revolvers, maybe that's why I like the Kahrs so much (trigger stroke you know). I carry mostly ParaOrd 45s on duty. However, I bought my first Kahr in the early 90s on my badge. It was a K9, still have it. It was a little too big for backup. I got a DeSantis thumb break nylon holster from a manufacturere's promotion. Works good, no complaints. It always shot a bit to the right for me, left handed shooter, NRA Outdoor Pistol Expert/Master Outdoor pistol ( in the old days when you used open sights)..........not the "jerk" zone. About four years ago I bought a PM9 with night sites. I was going to buy the same without night sites but the salesman dropped it in front of me, he gave me the night sites at the same price............luck. I carry it a lot. Sent the K9 back to Kahr for Nite sites. Carry both in Don Hume inside waistband holsters under untucked shirt. Both shoot point of aim at 25 yards...............can't really tell the difference between the two on target. I have a 14" I beam, X 21", 25 yards from my back step. ALL shots in man's chest at 25 yrds, basically "timed fire". I also have two Auto Ord 1911s. First was the compensated Comp model. I took off the recoil compensator and the mag well funnel and put in Cylinder and Slide sear etc.............super gun. The second is also a pre-Kahr AO. Night sites, and the Cylinder and Slide Safe Fastfire System.........super accurate gun........Take it from an old timer............Kahr and Auto-Ord make good stuff.............I've bet my life on them.

Very early PM9.

Am thinking about a CW45 or P45.

Love the slim, easy carry Kahrs.

[badge4436]

I have the stainless PM9 with night sights, six 6 round magazines and the 7 round magazine that came with it. It is my choice when concealability is an issue. I carry the PM9 in a pocket holster and inside the waistband.

For work around the house I have a Glock G19 with Trijicon night sights. It also serves as my bedside pistol.

[bumpfire]

[jignjam]

I bought a used PM40 for about half the price of new and could not be happier, OK maybe if I had more Kahr's like that P380. :D I still love my XD 40 but for everyday carry the PM40 is awesome.
By the way to the posts that say .40 S&W is on the shelves at Wally World please send some up north for me.

[P.D.I.]

Can anybody help me find a Wilson Custom K 40, they came with a two tone finish. I own 5 Kahrs and I really want to add this one to my collection. Thanks for any help at all,
P.D.I.

[Cameraman]

I have a MK9 with CT laser grips and a wolf spring and guide rod set one step firmer than the stock springs. I carry it in a Crossbreed minituck.

[P.D.I.]

I have P380, PM 9w/Diamond cut slide and nite sites,PM 9w/P9w/Blued Slide,K9 with nite site and a Crimsontrace grips and a PM45 w/ nite sites. Just looking for that Two Tone Wilson Custom K 40

[cmichael]

For now K40...:D

[Gottabkiddin]

Right now all I have is the CW9, but am planing on the PM9 later this year. These are great CC guns, they really conceal very easily IMO.

[Raptor77]

Mine is a factory stock E-9.

[coelacanth]

Bought it used this spring and love it. Recoil is tolerable with all but +P ammo. Sure is light to carry too! I carry in either an OWB or (when total concealment is a must) a SmartCarry.

[lawndart]

Pm9, cw40, p380

and a P9. Bought it today, used for $350 :D:D:D:D

[mdroz3]

I have the following;

PM 40 Black DLC
MK 40 Elite with Crimson Trace Grips
P380 2-tone

Love all 3! :D

You have a P380!!!! Who's jealous? This guy!!!

[Conrad]

I've been acquiring small arms for over half a century: firearms, edged and impact weapons, even have a small crossbow. I have seven Kahrs, two in each caliber: SW9 & PM9 - both with CT lasers, .40Covert & PM40 & MK40, P45 and PM45. They all have Big-Dot tritium sights, except the spare PM9 slide which has guttersnipe tritiums and is matt-black coated by David Clay. My everywhere gun: a Kel-Tec P3AT w/CT laser.

[wagon]

Bought my FIRST Kahr just 3 days ago, a standard PM9, nothing fancy but is a joy to carry. Don't know what more I can do with it, it's almost perfect as it is... but will just add the followings:

* Hogue "Jr" (already on the gun)
* Pearce extension

Yet to take it to the range, but plan is to be my primary ccw if the break-in process is a smooth-sailing.

[camper]

PM9 and P380.

[ripley16]

My first was a K9, but it had the old trigger which I didn't like so I sold it.
Next I bought a wonderful T9.
Then came a P45 with Mepro NS.
Bought an early CW9.
The latest is my month old TP9.

The only upgrade has been a Hogue Handall, a very useful addition, especially to the P45.

[harrydog]

A PM9 with an external accessory grenade launcher and flame thrower

[In-Yo-Grill]

It's a Gently used P9. I'll post picks when I get it on Monday.

I already have a couple of questions though...

1) Some of you say you had "factory" night sights on your guns. What brand of night sights do they put on at the factory, Trijicon or Meprolight?

2) I was on the Kahr website looking up night sights and they list two different types for "Old style slide" and "New style slide". How do I know which version I have?

I'm leaning towards the Big Dots but am still undecided. Any help in answering my questions is greatly appreciated.

Normally, virtually always Mepro.....although I understand Kahr customer service has said a few shipped with Trijicons.

Kahr has a tool right there at the order point to let you visually determine which slide dovetail cut you have. I'm thinking all of the P series came with the new style, but I could easily be wrong.

[johnh]

You can call them and provide your serial number to fund out which slide type you have. I would suggest having Kahr do the sight install for you. Then you can be sure to get the right sights installed without risk of damaging your gun. Those sights are very tight!

John

[ltxi]

....Those sights are very tight!

Worse...they're 609 Loctited. Takes a press or, if you're lucky, a machined jig.

[pokey074]

PM9
P45 Covert - P45 I sent off and had the frame cut down to take PM45 mags. The best of both worlds: longer barrel/sight radius, shorter grip.

Mine's a black PM9094NA. Really a nice pistol. Box stock so far, but am considering a Crimson Trace sight.

Kahr P9. This is my first. After a trip to the range yesterday I'm sold. I shot it like I stole it and it ate every type of ammo I fed down the barrel.

PM9 and I love it.

Question;
Has anyone considered using the extended "ported" barrel that Kahr sells, in the PM9 frame?

[dirksterg30]

MK9 Stainless Elite; I've added Meprolight night sights and aftermarket wood grips.

Picked up a PM45 and loved it, so I picked up a PM9 and loved it, so now I'm waiting for my P380!(all stainless with night sights)

Cheers,

I've got a Kahr MK9 with XS standard dot tritium sights, a stainless guide rod, and wooden grips. Best gun I have in terms of shootability. The reliability crown would probably have to go to my Ruger SP101, but the MK9 is a close second. I did have an issue with a slide crack at the area between the muzzle and guide rod openings, but the factory fitted a new slide.

send your slide and barrel to Magna-port.com and get it done right. Why have that exteneded part sticking out. You wil totally love a magna-ported set up on your PM9. My PM9 and K9 and G19 are all magna-ported and don't believe all the myths you hear about ported guns either. You will shoot better, expecially your second shot, you willshoot more, for it tames the gun down big time. :blah:

[adamsgeneral]

i have at sometime or another owned every single kahr pistol. from the 45's to the 380 (which i still have).. like shooting the steelframers, but they are a little too heavy for everyday carry, pm series are my fav.

PM9 and MK9. Just added wood grips to the MK9. Love both of them. May eventually add nitesites to the MK since I carry that one most of the time. Use PM9 for pocket in the hot months. Wish I would have bought them first, then I would not have spent so much money on the others.

[LabTech]

Just a PM9 and it's awesome!

[Keuder]

I just picked up my first kahr yesterday (a black PM40). I took it to the range today to "break it in". Not a single FTF, FTE, stovepipe, etc in 250 rounds. Certainly not what I expected after reading so many "negative" posts on some of the forums. WHAT A GREAT LITTLE PISTOL! Smaller than my G26 & 36, and what a pleasure to shoot. It is incredibly accurate too. I bought a set of Wolfe 22.5lb springs but doubt I will use them now. This little guy will definitely be my new carry piece, and more than likely just my FIRST Kahr.

Hi! First off, first post, so "Hello, everyone!" :cool:

I got my first Kahr, a K40 Covert a while back. I was looking for the ultimate backup/offduty piece. We'd just switched to .40 and I thought keeping the same caliber was good (mostly for the ammo I could scrounge out of the firarms instructors ;) ). I really liked it and it was accurate as all get out, but way heavier than what I wanted. It also had issues with not retaining the shorter magazines. The finger extention versions worked fine, but the shorter ones tended to pop out during firing. Annoying to say the least.

Then along came my PM40. Oh, yeah! I normally wear it IWB in a Done Hume clip-on and it practically disappears. At work it's normally on my ankle where I can really appreciate it's light weight over the K40 Covert.

Both were gunshow purchases and great deals. If I had it to do over again, I might have gone with the PM9 (a friend has one and asked me to "break it in" for him ... Great friend, eh?), but I'm not complaining. Recoil is ... stout, to say the least ("kills on one end, wounds on t'other") but it works quite well. Most folks that have shot mine get feeding failures b/c they just totally underestimate how tight and locked you have to hold the little beast. It works great for me, though and that's all that matters. When I bought the PM40 I wasn't sure how well it would hold up but so far [knock-on-wood], every time I disassemble it I can see it's holding up quite well. :D Mine has the big white dot tritium express-style sights. Not quite target quality but superb for fast aquisition and accurate enough especially 15 yards and in.

The K40 Covert is a safe queen of which I'm rather fond. The PM40, however, is a near constant companion.

[wyntrout]

Hello, CeltKnight, and welcome to the forum. There's a lot of info available here and we try to share good deals and opinions about a lot of things. I went to a gun show about three weeks ago, looking for a PM45-NS, DLC. I didn't find that and I wasn't sure that I would make the buy if I did 'cause I just bought a new 58" plasma and a lot of ammo with the deals at Cabela's. I did run a cross a like-new PM9, NS & DLC with all that comes in the box. I managed to get that out the door for $588, so I'm a fan of the PM9, as well. Last time at the range I fired some CorBon 125gr +P ammo and it definitely kicks more, makes more noise and flash, but it was manageable and I didn't flinch firing it, so that was probably similar to your PM40 in recoil. I'm still working on my DAO trigger pull, though.
Wynn:)

[CeltKnight]

Thanks, Wynn!
Hot 9x19s in a PM9 will give you an idea of a PM40s whallop. So far the only small auto to rival its smack-to-the-hand that I've found is the Radom P64 (9x18 but fixed barrel).
Still, not complaining, though, just observing. :)
Sounds like you chose a great piece yourself, though.
--- Cheers and thanks for the welcome!

[wyntrout]

Thanks. Down here in Florida I wear mostly shorts and Tees, with Polos for dress, so a light carry is better. I've been waiting just short of 10 months for my P380N that I hope will be my regular carry. I ran across a PM9 a few gun shows ago and first thought it might be a 380, but found that it was a PM9, DLC with N/S like the one I have now. That was the first time that I had ever seen and held one, and I was impressed with the size -- so small and compact, but shooting a full-sized round. After all the talk about PM9s on this forum, I decided to get the one I found at the last show, while looking for a PM45. I really like the PM models, and while I think the K series are the best looking and feeling, I really appreciate the compactness and light weight. I feel much better carrying a more powerful pistol. I WAS carrying a Walther TPH .22 with Stingers because everything else is too heavy or bulky for shorts.
When I get the 380, I plan to break it in and test it with +P ammo. I have a good supply of Buffalo Bore 90-grain JHPs that seem well thought out by the manufacturer -- bonded bullets, low flash powder, and very good performance out of a short barrel. If those shoot well, I'll carry them. A back up load is the Hornady Critical Defense 90-grain JHP with the polymer inserts. Those did well in the initial tests and reviews. I'll always have the PM9 if I feel the need and later, a PM45 when more clothes are in order.

[CeltKnight]

Dress (and weather) is about the same here on the AL Gulf Coast. My P3AT has been my "always" gun and even when I'm carrying my PM40 that tiny .380 is usually still in a pocket or on my ankle (the fastest reload being another gun, after all). I've tested my .380 (normally loaded with either Hydra-Shoks or Gold Dots) on pressurized tires, auto glass, etc. and I'm convinced all the bashing by armchair pundits that the .380 is insufficient is just so much hot air. I've seen people moving around and talking with thru-and-thru .38 special head wounds but DRT from .22s and .25s to the head or heart ... all just a matter of where the lead goes, not how big it is. As you carried a TPH I'm sure you understand that concept quite well. :cool:

All that said, however, I will admit to feeling a bit more comfortable knowing that I've got full-house .40 S&W loads on board in a package only a wee bit bigger than my Kel-Tec and still smaller than a .38 J-frame (Federal 180 grain HSTs ... I prefer the 155 grain loads in my PM40 but we issue the 180s). Last spring at my granddaughter's 1st birthday I wore my PM40 IWB under a T-shirt. We were in a city park and my son and his friends kept dragging me into their wrestling matches. Despite all the rough play, chasing the baby, and general merry-making, no one noticed the PM40 (and in truth, I virtually forgot it was there).

When folks ask I usually suggest the PM9 (one more round on board and a wee bit easier to control). I only went with the .40 because: 1. it's the ammo I'm issued (some, anyway), 2. caliber compatability with my duty piece (over-rated issue probably, but I'm lazy), and 3. [i.e. the "real" reason] the guy selling had the PM40 rather than the PM9 and I got it for $450 LNIBCAN (Like New In Box Cash And Carry). :D I'm still not convinced the .40 will stand up to a LOT of shooting but several hundred (at least) rounds later mine still looks great inside, so what do I know? LOL

These Kahrs are pretty durable. They are rated for +P and one of our members says he has fired over 25,000 rounds through his PM9. With a little TLC they will be around for a LONG time. The Kahr-patented, molded-in steel rails (more than just rails) give rigidity and long life to the polymer frame.
Years ago I considered getting a compact polymer-framed Taurus .45acp and then I looked them up on the 'Net. They were junk that started falling apart the first trip to the range. I never cared for the chunky Glocks, though I did think about the night-sighted model 21 with 13+1 rounds of .45 ACP! While I like higher capacity, I value the smaller, single-stack, more concealable Kahrs... and Justine Moon has pretty much perfected the polymer frame and compact design of the trigger mechanism allowing the lower position of the barrel and resulting lower, more manageable recoil... or so they say.:D
I've had a K9 since march of '98. I got my FL CCW permit in the previous December. Most of the carrying I did with that was walking my dog or walking/hiking in Colorado on my wife's folks' property in the mountains. I was more likely to carry my S&W 645 hiking. There are BIG cats, bears, and coyotes in the area and my thought has always been to try to scare anything away with a shot or two, unless there's no other choice. Once wounded, some animals become committed to the attack... and more vicious!:eek:
Florida has a great CCW law and they license you to carry weapons, not just firearms. Basically we can carry anything that is legal concealed. When I was walking my dog late at night, I carried a Para P12 with 12+1, a stun gun, a Pelican M9 flashlight, and a cell phone. I made more than a few calls to the non-emergency Police line to report things. And a few times I was glad to have the stun gun and a choice of how to defend against a large, threatening dog. The discharge of the stun gun was enough to keep one at bay. I never had to actually stun a dog, though I would, had he gotten close enough -- better than a head shot or serious wound.
Dang, I can get long-winded... love to talk... still can't type well. I "learned" typing in the USAF... needed 20 WPM to get out of the class.

Kahr P9 Black Diamond with Meprolight sights, Mag-Na-Poring, Steve Bedair Checkered Stainless Steel guide rod. I also did my own trigger/action job by putting a mirrored finish with the dremel and Hard Metal Polish #2 to all the friction points of the moving action. YouTube - Kahr Action Job (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1cDRE0mYdY). Firearm is awesome, the Mag-Na-Porting IMO made a very noticeable difference with recoil and the trigger/action job had more of an impact than I thought it would. I am very happy with my Kahr. I have about 2000 rounds fired without a single issue.
