[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1206208, member: 7815"] I had a chance last month to put a box of ammo through a P9 -- the "full sized" polymer 9mm. I was [U]highly[/U] impressed. I want that pistol (with night sights)! Even though it's bigger than the PM9, the P9 is still a very compact gun. The most striking feature of the Kahrs is how slim they are. The P9 would be about comparable in size to my S&W M&P9c Compact, but much lighter and much thinner in width. The trigger was smooth, light, and easy to use -- like a good revolver trigger. Took me about two mags of shooting to get used to finding the Kahr's reset (different from M&P; closer to Glock). Once I did my groups were excellent in rapid fire out to 10 yards. If loaded with quality 9mm+P the P9 seems like an awesome CCW option. Very low profile IWB carry, light enough to carry all the time. Personally, I will stick with the 9mm models and not even think much about the .40, unless [U]maybe[/U] it was the metal frame, full sized K40. I've had trouble controlling compact .40s before that weren't even as small or light as the Kahrs. I like .40 in a full sized duty pistol but not for a compact CCW. [B]PS: [/B]The 9mm and .40 Kahrs are pretty scarce on local store shelves right now. The supply line has slowed, a source in the biz tells me. Lots of unmet demand. They expect it to pick up again soon but don't know when. Kahr has made a lot of corporate moves lately -- buying up Auto-Ordnance, and now Magnum Research. That may be distracting them, or tying up a lot of cash. If this is right, I hope the Kahrs start shipping again soon! [/QUOTE]
