Hi New Member Here! I have an old P9 covert that I bought before the PM9 was released. I am thinking of sending it to get updated. Has anyone done this and if so did you notice any difference in the gun?

Welcome to the forums:)
I've not sent a pistol in for upgrade, hopefully someone will be along to share their experience along those lines.

Some observations in regards to poly frame pistols:
I have an older CW9 and as far as I can tell it uses the same recoil spring and guide rod as current guns (P9/CW9).
I have seen some changes to the barrel lug on certain Kahr pistols(requires more space in the frame), but the barrel on mine is fine and I've no need of upgrade in that regards (nor do I intend to use a ported/extended barrel).
Likewise, my slide is fine, so I've no need of another. That said, an older P9 might be cut for the old style sights. That could be worth consideration (though a new slide and sights would probably less than the charge for the upgrade service).

Regards,
Greg

not sure the cost on the p9 update, but for my pm9 it was almost the cost of just buying a
newer version used gun. nothing wrong with my pm9 but thought i would just ask kahr what
it would cost. I kept my pm9 the way it is :)
