So I picked up a Kahr K9.
The Glock 43 is cool and so is the Smith and Wesson Shield.
But the Kahr's trigger, looks, feel, and overall job being the same as the Shield and 43 won me over.
I have a couple if questions since I've seen a lot of information that varies about them. I'll also be sure to post pictures later on if I can't explain things clearly or they're needed.
One, the box says NYPD trigger. To my understanding and my reasoning, the same people who put on an NY2 1-/12lb trigger atrocity aren't happy with their Kahr pistols having a 4-5lb pull. So rather than blame the root cause which is their lack of training of officers in the NYPD, they blamed the Kahr for the lighter (normal) trigger pull. So apparently, this is the "fixed" version of that. Which to me, is still a light and normal trigger pull. Aside from my opinion on this matter, is that why it says NYPD trigger on it?
Two, it says "BLEM" on the sticker of the box as well. Which doesn't bother me at all.. I used to buy lower receivers for ARs at a nice discounted blemished lower price. Now, is this also why there is a "B" engraved on the frame right at the dust cover/start of the trigger guard? Seems a little silly to flaunt that, I supposed but you never know.
Three, its not the "Elite" but it's a newer version apparently. What seems to be the difference? I read something about trigger and a carbon steel slide or stainless steel slide. Based on any information I've given is there a way to tell what I have? Or would something in the SN give that away?
I really like this pistol and it's reminiscence of older SIG Sauer or Browning High-Power pistols in terms of build quality and machining. Absolutely love it and the trigger pull. I hear this is one of Kahr's best guns alongside the T9.
Seeing as it is not my only "deep concealment" gun, I have high hopes for it. The weight isn't an issue either.
However, if it doesn't pass any of it's tests I will be picking up either another revolver (360PD) or a Glock 43. But let's have positive thoughts.
Thanks in advance!
