I've held the MK9 before, but have never shot it. The only Kahr I've had the opportunity to shoot is a P9. Do any of you guys have some good experience with an MK9? I am considering purchasing one and wanted everyones valuable input, particularly because theyre a bit expensive for such a small pistol. Im hoping the price is due to quality.

Have a PM 9 which is the Polymer version of the MK 9.

It is small (concealable), reliable and I think it is a fine pistol.

I would buy it again.

+1 to what Ray said on PM-9.

I also have a K-9. Late 1990s production. Very accurate and reliable.

If I had a dollar for every Kahr sold as a result of students shooting one of mine, I could probably buy another one. In fact, today I got to fondle the new polymer-frame .45 ...

Due primarily to weight difference, the MK9 likely goinna have a little less perceived recoil than P9, especially if you use the mag that has room for pinky.

Thats very promising to hear guys, especially the word "reliable". Thank you much for the input. Did you all experience the "break-in period" suggested by Kahr with your particular model of firearms? Any other fellow forum members have any experience with the MK9.

I've never had a failure to feed or a failure to extract. On round #5 and on round # 23 I had to reach up and tap the slide fully closed.

I have shot every kind of ammo I could get my hands on thru it and never had a problem.

It is very accurate for its size. I have shot a typical IDPA set up with it and there is not a lot of difference in the results of the PM9 and my Glock G-30. Of course that may say more about the shooter than the guns.

I carry it whenever I am in a suit or slacks and have to tuck in my shirt. I have total confidence that if I do my part it will do its part.
