Khar K9 Ammo?

[Ronin 99]

I'm picking up a K9 Elite in 9mm as soon as the paperwork is done and I'd like to know what the best ammo would be. Would the short barrel rule out hollowpoints? What's the largest 9mm ball available? IMHO this is the best forum,of any kind, I've come across on the net.A tip of the hat to one and all!

Cor-bon 115s are the best 9mm hollowpoint for self defense. Period. The Kahr can handle the power if you can handle the recoil. I use Cor-bon 135 in my Kahr K40 and although the kick is there, it is also controllable. A shorter barrel is even more reason to favor a high velocity round like the Cor-bon.

I agree. My Mk9 is stoked with CorBon 115 grain. Not one failure (nor with any ammo) in my stubbie.

Triton has a special line of ammo called Hi-VEL which is specially designed to work with shorter barrels. There are two different schools of thought with regard to what the best type of ammo should be used for self defense purposes and both sides present very convincing arguements for their point of view. I alternate every other round in my MK9 with Triton & Cor-Bon bullets.

Thanks guys,I should have realized that +P ammo would compensate for the shorter barrel. I better wake up and smell the cordite!
