Kahr P9

[FredS1974]

I have a number of handguns. For CCW I like the size, fit and function of the Kahr P9.

My first Kahr P9 gave me a great deal of trouble. I had zero confidence in it. I did stay with it and after two trips to the factory it has performed flawlessly.

The new (Massachusetts compliant) P9 got my attention - the one with the LCI and external safety. With the DAO and safety you have redundancy in safety when carrying one in the chamber. I like the set up on the external safety - similar to what Walther uses on their PPK/S.

Since purchasing this new Kahr P9 I have put over 300 rounds through it. No break in problems at all. Uber reliable.

About half a dozen of my friends were so impressed with it they sprang for the new Kahr P9. Their results were similar to mine.

Kahr did a nice job on this model. For those of you out there who are considering one I recommend it.

U betfcha, that is IMO one hellof a great gun. and I wold have no issues with that external safet, U can use it or loose it. Nice post.

I too, have the Kahr P9 and like the pistol very much. While I don't have the Massachusetts compliant model, I have the blackened slide and night sights instead. Mine had some fail to feed problems initially but once I smoothed out the interior edges of the magazine lips, the problem disappeared. Add me to the list of those who recommend one.

Makes for an almost ideal CCW.
