KAHR MK9 OR PM9 PROFESSIONAL
We also live in a time when if we walk into a gun shop and say, “I’d like to see one of those really small 9mm Kahr pistols,” the professional behind the counter might well reply, “Would you like to see that in steel or plastic?” We live in a time when, as our groceries are about to be bagged at the supermarket, we might be asked, “Would you like paper or plastic?” Lady mentioned in article wears MK9 to work daily in a belly-band like this one from Action Direct. Of course, you can skip the decision and carry one of each in twin shoulder holsters like these by Mitch Rosen, with a longer-slide Kahr T9 for practice. Firing thumb is completely clear of pistol and on support hand. This is author’s preferred right-hand-only grasp of Kahr.Īuthor’s preferred two-hand grasp of Kahr is this modified Leatham-Enos hold. With thumb pointed straight to target, trigger finger is not impeded and thumb is clear of slide stop. High thumb shooting grasp provides an ample trigger reach on the small frame with the little finger tucked under the butt. PM9 grouped better with 147gr Winchester than with 115gr Federal.Īyoob finds the MK9 very slightly more accurate than its polymer-framed brother while shooting for group from MTM rest at 25 yards. Errant shot down by rear of grip was first hand-chambered round fired from PM9 in this string of fire. The 4+1 syndrome was less pronounced, and grouping tighter with this MK9 and Federal ammo as compared to polymer version of same gun. MK9 gave consistent group with Winchester subsonic. The MK9 (silver colored, top) slightly out-shot the PM9 (all-black, bottom) in 25-yard accuracy testing. The PM9 was tested with matte black stainless top on matching polymer frame (top), while MK9 sample was from the polished Elite series (bottom).
