Stainless guide rods for K9 and K40

[Alfonse]

We are introducing guide rods for some Kahr pistols. The first one is for the K series. They are 316 stainless, and very nicely finished. The flange is thicker as well and they are not hollow. Makes them pretty tough ;). They look great at the muzzle and do not contrast like the blued steel factory part.

They should be shipping tomorrow or Monday. https://lakelinellc.com/product/stainless-guide-rod-for-kahr-k-series-pistols/

Those look great. I have a ss guide rod on my K9 and really like it much better than the hollow stock one. I'm sure anyone who gets one will be more than pleased.

Thanks Greg. I went comparison shooting yesterday. Below is a photo of a new factory guide rod versus my stainless version after 100 rounds. Let me say they both worked just fine. But the marks in the factory one are deep, easily felt with a fingernail or the end of the finger, while the ones on the stainless version you can't feel at all. Racking the K9 by hand, the stainless guide rod in the pistol was noticeably smoother as well with the used guide rods.

I could probably better dress the end of the recoil spring and reduce the issue on both, but I left it as it makes for a good comparison. Thanks again.
