E Series

[ERom]

I have a Kahr E series 9mm and cannot for the life of me find any information on the internet, Kahr sight, youtube and now Kahr Talk. Can anyone give me any information or where I can find information?

A quick search here didn't give me much info to offer. I know they were a very early Kahr offering preceeding the the K and MK models. I don't recall dates. I know they are long since discontinued but still lots out there.

Very similar to the K's with some minor differences. I think the trigger bar spring is one, it's shaped a little different.

I believe the E series came at the change over to all stainless K9s. Perhaps the purpose to use up leftover carbon steel parts. E Kahrs were a mix carbon and stainless, old style or new style frames.
Mostly black finishes if I recall. Not too many out there it seems. Should be a fine pistol

Oh thank you. So they were discontinued not because of a defect. I have one and it is a really good pistol! Do you know how many were made or how I can find out?

Thank you!

Looking at this photo of that gun, I'd say it will have, as Bawanna says, a differently shaped trigger bar spring (and trigger bar).

Interesting!
I was completely unaware of this early model.
