Looking at the serial number chart; how did you come up with that date?

I saw this from the chart;

AR02xx - K9 - Feb 1997
AR06xx - K9 - Apr 1997


AR0500 should be between 2/97 and 4/97, closer to 4 perhaps...or am I not seeing or understanding something.

Confused. :confused:

Okey-Doke. The Kahr system is mystery enough for me, now I am at least less confused. :D

not sure kahr ever really cared how they numbered their guns in relation to what we really think it should be. If it was easy then we would all understand it, they don't want that I guess. My glock is no better, nor my Smiths...
