Lady K9

[SUOMI69]

New guy here! Just joined yesterday. Picked up my first Kahr this morning, private sale and was wondering what you all think of the Lady K9. Got it for $200 bucks with case, holster and 3 mags all with the pinky extensions. Two long one short. Guy only put 500 rounds through it. All black model #AJ0058.

I’ve not heard of a Lady K9.

[Bawanna]

I seem to recall hearing about it and a picture but it's been a long while.

[BirdsThaWord]

I've heard of those too. Never seen one though.

If memory serves it has Lady K9 etched, engraved, or pressed on the slide does it not?

[JohnR]

What makes it Lady?

$200 is a steal!

[yqtszhj]

Welcome. For 200 bucks it’s a steal.

[Burnett]

Didn't these have a lighter recoil spring for racking the slide for female shooters hence the "Lady" designation? Whatever model it is $200 for a nice K9 is quite a score!

[King Rat]

Wow, you sure got some "Lady" Luck. Congrats
I see in the description that it does have a lighter recoil spring. No Plus P.

Lady K9 is pressed on the front right side in cursive. It's case is stamped 6/96. I found on this forum posted on 7/16/2011 by rvbgtr a junior member at that time; that there were only 2000 of these made. He says it has a different extractor, striker spring and the striker bore has been honed. I found that the original spring by wolf was 16-18 pounds instead of 20-24. So yes no +p ammo. I will post photos here when I'm able to. I'm a newbie on this forum and don't know how many posts I need before I can.

So with this Lady K9 of mine and its light springs would 124gr rounds be ok?

I would think so. Also, you can always go with a standard K9 recoil setup if you want to shoot the +P. No reason to be stuck with standard stuff, so long as your budget allows the upgrade. Congrats on your steal of a deal!:cool:

[Bawanna]

124gr should be just fine and dandy. You can as Bird mentioned use the standard recoil spring and others as well. Personally I'd leave as is if it works without issue and I don't use +P if I can avoid it. +P 9 don't make it a 45.
A little easier to rack slide and shooting comfort is a big bonus. As already stated your a very lucky guy to bring that one home.

Good eye rx! I noticed that myself. I think these were very early guns, I don't know if they carried on into the new style frame or not.

I had a Lady K9 in the late 90s and it was a great gun. I don't recall any of them being other than a nickel finish though. It's the only Kahr my wife was ever able to rack easily. Everything SUOMI said about it.
And SUOMI, I fired FMJ 124 & 147gr through it with zero problems, and carried Cor-Bon (+P) in it at the time. I only fired enough of the +P to prove function.
Welcome to the forum!

I don't know about any logo on the slide, the only thing the Lady Kahr had was was a lighter recoil spring for women. It was about 1# lighter then the lighter recoil spring that Wolf Springs sells.
I know this because back in the day I bought several L.K. springs for the wife. I think they're about 17#. Never had any issues with them
