Around a year ago I posted of woes with a MK9 flipping brass at my dome. I grew tired of it and sold the pistol. Recently, I decided it was time to get back to Kahr to give them another chance -- I picked up what I consider to be their flagship model, the K9. I didn't notice it at the shop, but when I got it home I noticed the barrel had a pitted appearance. I cleaned it a couple time with a bronze brush, a good solvent and brass jag with no improvement. I went out and fired my 200 round break in, it functioned perfectly but for a double feed on the third magazine. Pitting didn't change, of course.
I contacted Jay to see what my options were, he told me there was only one -- ship the pistol in. It has been gone for five days now, in the mean time I ordered a P9 from Buds Police Supply (which should be in tomorrow, I'm quite exited) and put on hold at the small gun shop I work at (Cabela's) a PM9 with three holsters for $499.99. So, in the near future I will have three Kahrs after a 9 month period without. My reason to get the other two is the K9 is just too dense, it's weight is concentrated in a tiny area of the waist and is felt all day as being too much. I absolutely love the grip, recoil characteristics, accuracy and trigger pull -- my only beef is the weight.
I picked up the P9 because it is the same general size, but less weight. The PM9 walked into my life...I felt like I needed to save it from a negligent owner when it came in on trade. My only question for you folks is: does $499.99 sound like a good price for a PM9 in 90% condition with three holster, one of which is a Crossbreed. I plan to sell the K9 upon it's arrival or shortly after...maybe. The P9 and PM9 will be fired to see which offers the best overall compromise over a larger, duty sized pistol.
I continue to check in to see the happenings here at least weekly, but would love to hear some opinions on my latest "troubles".:)
