This isn't going to be much of a "range report", but here goes..
After the new P9 walked out of the gunshop with me, we took a trip to the range on the north side of Cheney lake.
For ammo I had: 100 rounds of Fiochi 115gr. ball, 50 rounds of 124gr. NATO ball, 50 rounds of Federal Hi-Shok 147 gr. JHP, and a handfull of Fed. 115 gr. Hi-shoks...
As tiny as the grip on this pistol is, I was able to get a good solid hold. Grip has large "chunks" of checkering on the front and rear which really help with control. It felt like I was holding a cheese grater at first, but after a while I got used to it. It was in the mid 80's and I was sweating enough to be constantly wiping my glasses and ear muffs, but I never lost my shooting grip. Mr. Moon did a good job designing this thing.
Another thing that stood out is the lack of perceived recoil/muzzle flip. The baby eagle that I'd traded for the P9 would really rock in your hand. I didn't notice this with the Kahr. Maybe the small overall size has something to do with this?
Anyway the pistol fed everything, no jams , misfires, hiccups,..I don't have any accuracy or velocity data, I was just out doing the 200 round break in per instructions, so far, so good, now we'll find a good reliable "social" load....
I don't have any qualifications to make recommendations of defensive hardware, but the P9 is a winner; if our good guvna ever turns around and fullfils his campaign promise of CC for Kansas, I will no doubt tote the P9...
Apologize for the long post.....

Anyway I really hope the Gov. of Kansas gets CCW passed. Then hopefully Missouri would have a little more pressure added to them to get it passed here since you can't tell where KCMO ends and where KCK begins. Since so many people live in Missouri and work in Kansas and vice versa I would think that they would almost have to pass ccw at about the same time in both states. Maybe not. May just be wishful thinking.
