![]() ![]() I found a PM9 and added Mag Guts followers to the 6 and 7 round mags. Last year, after covid and the riots started, I decided I needed a more capable pocket gun. I began carrying an LCP w/ 7 round mag in the summer and would switch to a 642 in the winter months for superior penetration. My position at work changed a little bit and being able to pocket carry a firearm due to non permissive environments became even more important. The Shield felt and fired like a much LARGER service pistol, where the CW9 felt like just a utilitarian tool, and it was one that just got the job done. Carried the CW9 myself for a few years, and then the S&W Shield came out. I actually bought it for my wife, but she didn’t care for the DA trigger. I replaced the K40 with a CW9 when those came out. Carried it for about 5 years and then gave it to my grandpa as all he had were service sized pistols and he wanted something easier to carry. Years ago, I bought a K40 Elite when I began working out of town and wanted something more compact than my G23. My Holosun is inbound, so I have a play toy until it prove's its reliable, than it will be a carry/car gun. ![]() I just built a Glock 19 clone with an AIM Surplus RMR cut slide and a PSA Dagger frame/threaded barrel. There are Gucci Glocks because people like to mess around with their guns. You don't play legos like Sigs or continually upgrade/change parts like a Glock. You stick it in your pocket and don't think about it. I also agree that the Kahr is a set and forget platform. I've got my money out of my Kahr & Kel-tec, so I'm ready to upgrade for the next 10 years and then re-evaluate at that time. Same goes for my Kel-tec, the Ruger LCP Max (which I know if a Kel-tec ripoff), has 10rds in the same size. Plus I can decide if I want to try a thumb safety or optic option. ![]() I get nearly twice the ammo without reloading or carrying a spare. I like my PM-9 (and Kel-tec P3AT for that matter), but I'm seriously looking at a P365 as a replacement. You can even get a thumb safety, optic mount, threaded barrel, if you want on some of them from the factory. All have higher capacity, are the same or cheaper in cost, and different trigger options. Now you have Glock, Sig, S&W, Springfield, etc. They also charged a slight premium at the time. 10-15 years ago, if you wanted a micro compact, it was the Kahr or you stepped down to a. Everybody caught up and then passed them by. Until I need it, there's just not much to talk about. So, for me my K9 is gets about as much notice as the fire extinguisher that's on the wall and has been there for years. Most newer brands have variations on the Glock trigger which is not as safe to carry as a DA revolver.or a Kahr. 380 autos of the day, but be as safe to carry as a double action revolver. Unlike most of the newer brands, the Kahr's entire reason for being was to provide cops of the 90's with a 9mm pistol smaller then most of the. People either like the Kahr's or not and those who don't like them or don't want to spend the money tend to move on to other brands and other reasons to discuss them. There's just not a lot of call to have long discussions about something that's been 100% reliable and gives no trouble at all. It's so much a part of my daily routine that I just don't take notice of it much, and since it has never failed, I don't seem to have a reason to talk about it that much. In my case I settled on a K9 as my defense carry gun in 1997 and it's been there ever since. Guns like the Kahr quietly soldier on with little notice.until you really need it. Guns that you shoot a lot or have trouble with tend to get discussed. Second, the Kahr is like the car keys or pocket knife that always in your pocket and you just don't pay a lot of attention to it. One is that the Kahr's are more expensive then a lot of other brands and most people want cheaper. I suspect that there are two major reasons for no discussion. ![]()
