I agree with what others are saying about the gun, though. It is heavy for what it is. IWB a K9 can get pretty heavy, in my opinion. The thickness is just about perfect (with factory or reduced grips), though for a IWB gun. I just bought a Galco Miami Class shoulder holster for my K9 and I think I'll never go back to IWB carry except with smaller, thinner guns... which doesn't leave me many options for IWB.
I'm not sure what people are saying about a break-in period on K9's or that they are tight. I've found neither to be the case. My K9 Elite rattles like a loose 1911. I can see plenty of daylight through mine. They just remind me of metal framed Glocks, honestly.
The double-action-only-esque trigger is good for what it is. It is about as smooth as you'd get on a nice DA revolver. But, most new shooters won't like it or be good at it. It takes some getting used to for sure, but my K9 taught me to revolver shoot in DA, essentially. You get used to staging the trigger. Rapid fire is a bit tricky to stay on target with long and relatively heavy trigger pull.
For me, the quality has been lacking on the plastic Kahr's rather than the steel ones, but who knows? Maybe I've just been lucky with the steel framed Kahrs that I've seen (or unlucky with the plastic ones?).
