TruGlo TFX on my MK9

[Genin]

Well my wife was nice enough to give me my sights yesterday. They are TruGlo TFX sights for Kahrs. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about changing the sights myself, although I have a lot of experience installing pistol sights, because of the online posts saying how freaking impossible Kahr sights are to change. Well that is hogwash. It was an absolute breeze. I followed instructions to remove the stock sights from left to right (toward ejection port) and reverse for instillation of the new sights. BTW, I did all of this with my cheapo Amazon sight pusher that cost me all of $30 when I had gotten it a year or so ago. I cannot say enough good things about this cheap sight pusher. I mean it cost me the amount of a single sight installation and it has now put on many sights on many different pistols for myself, family and friends. Love it.

Here's some pics of the process as I've gone. I like pictures in posts so I try to do the same for others when I post. Enjoy.

Removal of the old sights:

At the range the sights performed super awesome. They were insanely easy to see and the white ring around the front sight really draws your eye to it. I am seriously impressed with these new TFX sights. I already own and use TFOs on my Glocks and can attest that these new sights from TruGlo really are an improvement. The dots and housing are tighter and the sights feel robust. I was able to make incredibly accurate shots and I do not feel the need to adjust them at all, given they are hitting about dead one for me at 10 yards.

Pics of the first 3 shots taken at 10 yards, offhand with two hand support. My son was with me and said, "Woah Dad, take a picture." Hahahaha, so I did:

I cannot say enough good things about these sights. They went on snug, they did not need any fitting to go on with my pusher, and they perform very well in all lighting environments. I am so happy with my pistol that I cannot stand it. All steel construction, super accurate, g10 grips, tfx sights, 9mm, and super compact. JACKPOT!

Nice job. Definitely on my to-do list as I continue my MK9 makeover.

Bosco,
I highly recommend them. You won't regret it.

[Redstate]

Awesome looking and great shooting. Like your sight pusher too.

[CPTKILLER]

Interesting!

[gb6491]

Nice job on the sights and that's some good shooting!:)

[Phish]

Nice! got a set on my Glock 21. They very bright at night.

[Genin]

Redstate,
Thank you very much. I shoot very often.

CPT,
indeed.

Greg,
Thank you. I have to admit that my shooting has really come a far way over the past couple of years with all the practice across multiple platforms. I use the Beretta M9 for the Army National Guard (I shoot every chance they give me, not just for quals), I shoot my CZs double action/ single action, I shoot the crap out of my Glocks, I shoot various single action only pistols, and now I have this Kahr trigger. It is easy for me to hit very accurately if I just do a continuous pull. I do not stage this trigger at all. I do shoot well even fast with the kahr but am still faster with my Glocks.

Phish,
Thank you. Yes these sights rock. I'm now considering them for my one CZ that is without night sights.

I really like the u-shaped notch on the rear sight of the pros but I don't like the orange ring on the front sight. My eyes don't pick up the orange well inside for some reason.

[Phish]

I agree Genin. I like the white outline a little better tho.

[Genin]

The white outline is really great, trust me. I do think I'd prefer the U-notch on the rear though. Maybe at some point they will sell them separately so you can customize a bit.

[ZardozCZ]

That's some fine shooting, with the camera and the MK9!

Wish my camera would cooperate like that. My MK9 is a 98 vintage so I should look to replace the Mepros, These are a clear improvement, but must admit the U-notch appeals.

Thank you for sharing!

[AIRret]

Great shooting.
Have you tried one handed racking with those sites???

[Genin]

Zardoz,
thank you for the kind words. My iPhone cooperates with me very well when there's enough light. I agree that the u-notch would be most ideal but these would serve you very well also!

AIR,
thank you and yes, they are easy to one hand rack with. I've done it on my belt and pocket with ease. The front ledge is enough to get it done.
