Has anyone out there have any thoughts on this mini Kahr?I'm looking to get the elete model which has a somewhat better trigger than the regular Kahr guns. I have a friend who has a K9 and really loves that gun. No problems with it at all through 1000 rounds. My son just bought a K9 model which has been fine for the first 250 rounds thru it. I just don't know anyone with the mini Kahr. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks, ShooterJD
Kahr MK 9?

Hey Shooter,
The MK9 is an excellent gun.
After much research, I purchased one, about 3 months ago.
I find it a little heavy, but for inside-the-waistband carry, the weight is not noticed.
(Previously preferred polymer pistols.)
Also, the weight keeps the recoil to a minimum.
Do a search here on TFL, and you should find much info, most of it in favor of this gun.

I loved mine, but sold it for a very decent price in favor of the soon-to-be-released PM9. Mmm... can't wait. Everything you love about the MK9, but with half the weight! Well, not quite half, but you get the idea. 
As to your actual question... the MK9 is a superior pistol, but is too heavy for general pocket carry. IWB or on the belt: no problemo.
Moderators, can I change my name in a month? Papa Mike Niner?

Great CCW gun. Of all my pistols, I carry the Kahr MK9 the most.
You can buy the "elite" trigger from Kahr and install it on your "standard" MK9. I did it to mine and it was about 1/2 hour. The Elite trigger has a shorter pull and a quicker "re-set" time.
Not all that hard, but I'm no pistolsmith either. Just make sure that you but some nice brass punches to drift out the trigger pivot pin.

Buy it, and don't look back.
All points above noted, but for a few things... neither the PM9, nor the 'base' MK9 with the Elite trigger have the lovely satin stainless finish of the Elite...
