I'm thinking of purchasing a blemished Mk9 online for around $499. Is that a good deal? Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any pics of blemished MK9's so I can kinda get an idea of what to expect. I know it's not going to be a perfect, flawless gun but I'm not paying the price of a pristine gun. I don't want some horrible abomination either. How bad are they usually blemished?

I bought a blem CM40. I, like most blem purchasers, can't even find why it was called a "blem", Sometimes the stamping isn't perfect. Neither me or the FFL guy could find anything on mine. Go for it.

Yup most of the time it's hard to find the blemish. Heard that many many times.

See the dot just toward the muzzle from the trigger guard on this K9. That is what I believe the blemish is on this pistol. Fine with me.

Wow! I can barely see it. I wouldn't have a problem at all if I bought an all stell Kahr for around $500 and that's all it had as far as a blemish.

Thanks for the pic. Btw if I do end up getting an mk9, those G10 grips you sell would be the first thing I get.

The rest of that K9 looks perfect. It was a blem purchase through Grabagun. There is also the "B" stamped on it.

Thanks on the grip mention!

Wish I could find a blemished T9 for that price.

Get it. Very good deal and it is a shooter.

Thank you for the heads up.

If you do pickup a used MK9 and want to have the most grip options, make sure it is not a GA prefix on the serial number. Those had a bit different frame machining and there are fewer, and thicker, grip options.

Good to know. So if I were to buy a new blemished model it would be able to accept different grip options?

I believe that is a correct statement.

Will the MK9's with the LTD serial numbers fit the newer style grips?
