Welcome Jim!

You are correct. It seems to be worth a pretty penny too.

Nice catch Jim. Welcome.

I can see in one of the pictures that the grip has been etched with a stippling? What other mods did Wilson do with these?

[RevRay]

Ooooo ... I like that one. Let me know if you end up not liking it and I'll take it off your hands.

[jim6172]

here is what i found out so far
An extremely rare pistol. It was manufactured in 1998 by Kahr and then sent to Wilson Combat. It has a hard chromed frame and an armor tuff slide, action job and a trigger job, slide stop beveled and mag well beveled and 30 lines per inch front strap checkering. It is a single digit serial number, they made 25 K9's and 50 K40's. Its extremely tight and smooth and the trigger is impressive. It came with the original box paperwork and 2 magazines

Nice tell us how it do. And thanks for sharing

With that serial number, you should start introducing yourself as "6172, James 6172".

Nice find. I wonder if these were the inspiration for the Elite '98 model?

[RevRay]

Is your's the one that was recently listed on Armslist in Oklahoma?

[jim6172]

Yep this is the one the gentleman and I did some horse tradin and came to an agreement and both left happy

[RevRay]

Until your post I was unaware of that limited edition model. People here know I'm partial to the two-tone black-over-metal ... I may have to begin another search.
