Spent a LONG day yesterday at the NRA Convention in Louisville. The Kahr booth was very complete, and spent alot of time talking with the reps (also met Justin Moon). My favorite thing was playing with the "Gen2" P9. While I love the Kahr trigger, I have to say that the "Gen2" trigger feels very good. While it has a glock-style split trigger, the trigger still has that smooth Kahr feel. The pull is considerably shorter than the normal Kahr trigger. The question of the day was "When are you going to be releasing the Gen2". The answer was later this year, first in the P9 variety, then the TP9 variety. And good news for those (like me) who are PM9 fans.....YES, they will be making a PM9 Gen2. It is still in engineering right now. No other hints on other new guns on the way.

The convention was HUGE, and almost every vendor you could think of was there. I probably walked 10 miles seeing it all. My legs are spent...ha ha.

Probably the highlight of my day was meeting (and talking with for about 20 minutes) with "Hickock45" of YouTube fame. Very nice guy. (Yes, he really IS that tall)

Is he really that tall or are you really just that short? :p

Sounds like you had a great time and got some exercise in to boot! I wish you would have asked about the K45, though.

Great picture with Hickock. Also need a picture of the "Gen 2" to prove it really exists.

That photo explains a bunch. With him being that tall, those targets he is always hitting might only be 10 feet or so away, but they just look far away. I think it is that perspective thing...
