Kahr MK9 and MK40 Durability Question

[Kestrel]

Does anyone know how many rounds these two pistols are rated for?

Are there any problems with them? What about the "Covert" models?

Thanks,
Steve

My MK 40 has a little over 800 rounds throught it, and still feels tight as a drum. Gary

Given that the 9mm models were designed for +P and are all steel, I wouldn't worry about wearing them out. It may not be such a bad idea to replace the recoil spring assembly after 10,000 or 20,000 rounds. Kahr didn't take any shortcuts in design or materials with that weapon. .40 worries me, in general, but the K40 should last as well as most other .40s do.

I've probably put a 1000 rounds each through my K40 and MK9 without any problem. I wouldn't worry about the durability of the Kahrs.
