MK 9 range report

[spikedog]

Got my used MK cleaned up and out to the range. Went thru 100 rounds or so without issues. The MK shoots just a little different than my PM 9. A softer recoil and a different feel too. One thing I did notice that my brass was getting dented and the primers were very deeply depressed.

dented brass is the norm, and deep primer strikes are a good thing. Kahr owners manual addresses both of those things are being normal. Nice report, nice gun.

Yep I found it in the manual. The MK just makes a more noticeable dent. I was a little disappointed, I cant shoot the MK as well as my other one. More practise is definitely in order ;)

most seem to report the exact opposite. heavier gun should handle and shoot better. I shoot my PM9 horrible but my K9 great. course I know this is apples and oranges,or maybe grapes and cherries, or mabye rasberrys or blueberrys

Thanks for the report. I am currently looking for a good deal on an MK9.

I found one locally awhile back, hesitated a day or so and lost out! :mad:

I got a good deal on a used one, but it needed a good cleaning. There was a lot of pitting and discoloration under the grips and around the mag release. Also it had some brown (rust) spots on the inside of the slide. A good stainless steel brush took care of all the spots and shined it up like new. After installing the wood grips, it looks brand new ;)

Picked up a lightly used MK9 last Dec. with a GA12xx serial number. Little leery because the price was so low. After giving it the once over and some oil, I took it to the range. Sure enough, it kept locking the slide back before the mag was empty. Think he sold it for $350 because it was malfunctioning. A new slide stop lever from Kahr seems to have corrected the situation. Now I'm going to shoot it like I stole it.

Possably a bad or bent slide stop spri9ng to. Hope the lever solves the issues. U might visit the kahr tech section ahd hit on two good sticky's
