Very nice pistol

Man I wish I could find one of those MK9's in a LGS around me, I know I could order one but I have to see one in person. My PM9 is quality all the way. I would love to see how they made the receiver on the MK9. Obviously the PM9 is probably a lot lighter than the MK9 just because The PM has the Polymer frame and the MK is SS...blah, blah.

Thanks for the pic, now I want to find an MK9.

I do have to say that Kahr Arms makes some quality products. But you do have to pay for them, definitely shop around if you go with a Kahr. The MSRP price will scare most people away but you can find some good deals out there if you shop around. IMO they are excellent pistols.

My Kahr PM9 and P380 have been 100 percent.



Just incase anyone is interested in the Kahr pistols here are a few specs. Obviously you can go to Kahr's website and search through everything and see all there other models, calibers and options but this is just to show the differences between these pistols. DON'T let the MSRP scare you away!
