Barrel swap

[hardknocks1]

Hi all
Will a CW9 or K9 barrel drop in a P9 ?
My P9 shoots horrible groups, it's reliable no malfunctions.
I can do some fitting if needed

Thanks

Have you tried different brands/weights of bullets? Has anyone else shot it, and got the same results?

I don't know if the barrels are swappable, I doubt it. BTW, I think the K9 and P9 are octagonal and the CW9 is traditional lands and grooves.
If you truly do have a bad barrel, why not contact Kahr and see what they say.

I haven’t tried it but I think a CW9 barrel will fit.

Lots more info is needed before the experts here can help diagnose the issue.

Kahr website gives the following SKU's: 002K9S for K9; 002P9 for P9; and 002W9 for CW/S9, with the disclaimer that "Fitting may be required."

As @kenemoore suggested, all someone else who is a good shot to shoot it and try different ammo. 99.99% of the time it's the shooter or the ammo in these cases. Also, explain what kind of groups are you getting and at what distance. Have you tried shooting from a rest? Have you inspected the or looked down the barrel to see if anything is off?

I recall the MK9 we retrieved from the bottom of Puget Sound after about 3 weeks. Ended up sending it back to Kahr for inspection (after my inspection), I was concerned about springs. The replace everything, polished it up like new and returned it in a factory box with 2 new magazines. (No Charge). BUT we used it as a pass around gun in the department so everyone could play. After a while nobody wanted it, couldn't hit a paper plate at 3 yards. It got back to me and I shot it, couldn't hit nothing.
Barrel looked fine, no corrosion, pits or anything at all. I contacted Kahr and explained situation. They sent a new barrel again no charge and the thing was a tack driver. I never got it back again except to whittle grips several times. Sadly the guy that ended up with it sold it for more than I had or I would have bought it.
Moral of the story is sometimes a barrel can look good, but it could be jivin too.
Maybe send that puppy back to Kahr and see what they say if the above suggestions don't pan out.

Thanks Bawanna.

A K9 barrel will not fit in a polymer slide. CW should.
