For my, keeping in mind im 6'-3", your gun will print more due to its width then length. The G26 was every bit as wide as my issued Beretta.so I never got it. What is nice about the PM9 is how slim it is. I say loved, because I sold it for a G26 to carry off duty, as my brother got into my head beacuse it carries more rounds. Have you ever tried a Walther PPK or a H&K P7? Mabye I have seen Die Hard too many times? Many cops have died in the past 30 years in shootouts with BGs while reloading. If I had to choose a different position it would be closer to 6 o'clock I guess. I guess I would say I carry around 3 o'clock. That makes perfect sense though, no way are you getting something with a 4 inch barrel up in that position and managing to sit down with any level of comfort. I do not see what you like about appendix carry! That is the most uncomfortable position for me. Carried it for over a year and no gripes so far. Thinner than the XD and a longer grip than most "subcompacts". I couldn't do a revolver so I gave it to my dad to keep around the house. Unpleasant shooter and carrying extra ammo was a hassle. Though I admit, I didn't really give it much of a chance. I carried that for a month or two and didn't like it much. But it didn't work out so I started looking for an alternative gun to carry.Īround this time alot people were giving praise to the S&W 642 so I jumped onto that bandwagon. And I have "palm a basketball" sized hands so shooting with a hanging pinky was uncomfortable but carrying with the extended mag added even more bulk so I bought a CrossBreed SuperTuck to try carrying a different way. I didn't mind carrying it but it was a bit bulky especially when I was sitting down. My first carry gun was an XD9 Subcompact. I dunno but for me, I have a preference for appendix carry. I do not have experience with the PPK, but it seems to be a huge favorite in that form factor for a semi auto. That is every bit of a 9mm+p from a sub compact. 357 mag with a 2 inch barrel goes ~1000 fps at the muzzle 135gr. I do not understand the need for something so fragile that people recommend you do not even train with them. 44 Mag but I understand the need for something smaller. Hell, I would probably just go right for the 25oz. I understand small, but I would much rather have one of those Lightweight 18oz. I do not understand why you would pass up a Glock 26 or 19 to use a Kahr? It scares me to think of shooting a 9mm that makes your hand swollen! My friend's 34 is like shooting an airsoft gun. My friends have 9mms and 40s like these Kahrs and they just sit in the safe. I do not understand why everyone here has these ultra ultra small CCW guns. I know I have massive hands, and that CCW'ing a USP. I'm sure others have different stories, but I'm keeping my Kahr pistols. But they work fine, so I'm not sure what they are getting a pass on.Īre they a Glock 26 or M&P9c? No I don't thing they would last that long or be that comfortable to shoot, but for their purpose of making CCW comfortable and easily concealable, they are awesome. I've made my hand swollen and sore shooting a couple hundred rounds of +P 9mm due to the light weight, thin profile in the hand and heavier recoil than a larger gun. Both shoot extremely accurately and never fail. Enjoyable to shoot, easy on the recoil for small guns, nice triggers and excellent finish. Won`t touch it.I've got a PM9 that I got new and a P9 that I got used. I saw my first outside hammer double barreled "coach gun" made by them. The only guns I would never buy are from Norinco which is owned by the Chinese military. There are many Soviet Bloc era guns on the market that are being snatched up so politics don`t seem to bother gun buyers. Justin Moon owns Kahr along with Auto Ordnance. They don`t list pistols on their website but you can call their 800 #. Most of the problems seem to be ironed out and the K9 is an authorized NYPD off duty weapon.ĬDNN is selling K40 Coverts for around $340. Some early Kahrs had problems and their service dep`t was busy. I had a P9 that the trigger pin would walk. The only time I had a problem was with Wolf ammo.
