\"KAHR
To celebrate the 25th<\/sup> Anniversary of the legendary K9, Kahr is offering a limited edition run of very special commemorative pistols.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating milestones is one of society\u2019s most practiced\ntraditions. We have birthdays and anniversaries for nearly every possible thing\nor event imaginable. In part, it is a way to admire and recognize the\nachievement of longevity in a world made of fleeting things. Whether it be\ncelebrating the duration of our grandparent\u2019s marriage or the number of years we\ngraduated high school \u2013 we love a parade for things that last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Special custom aluminum grips from Hogue adorn the 25-year edition and offer excellent texture. The author appreciates the exploding 3D boxes in the grip texture as \u2018read\u2019 from left to right.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is especially true for products that endure in markets\nthat can be fickle and heavily competitive. And if the market for a small\nconcealable 9mm handgun isn\u2019t the poster child of that concept, then I don\u2019t\nknow what is. Twenty-five years ago, Kahr Arms introduced the K9 pistol to the\nmarket. Striker fired, yet made of solid stainless steel. Tiny compared to everything\nelse on the market, yet more rugged and reliable than most. And while meant to\nbe carried covertly, it is quite pleasing to the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Is this a pretty gun that happens to be tough, or a tough gun that happens to be pretty? <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The K9 really helped define Kahr Arms and has its DNA in\neverything they\u2019ve made since. When you consider how many handguns come to\nmarket amid much fanfare and then quietly fade away, the celebration of a\nsilver anniversary for the K9 is indeed something special, and a parade worth\ngoing to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Each pistol is engraved on both sides of the muzzle with the \u201c25 years\u201d artwork, just ahead of the exclusive front serrations.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate this grand achievement, Kahr Arms is producing a Limited Edition 25th<\/sup> Anniversary K9. Only 500 of these unique pistols will be made, each engraved with its individual number. In addition, the pistol comes as a special 25th<\/sup> Anniversary package that includes several custom extras. At its core though, it is still the same sound and solid K9 that helped create a revolution in the handgun industry and put Kahr on the map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Your pistol is made unique by the engraved series number, in this case showing that this gun is number 145 of a total of 500 that will be made.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"KAHR
The polished barrel shines nicely through the intricate cuts in the top of the slide. The barrel is not ported, these cuts are strictly ornamental, although they do reduce a little weight.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The anniversary edition pistol is the same K9 that Kahr\noffers in several other configurations \u2013 just made special by its exclusive\naesthetics and extras, as one would expect. Here is a summary of those\n\u2018extras\u2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 25th<\/sup> Anniversary K9 also includes a\ncertificate of authenticity \u2013 with the same gun number. In this case, the gun\nthat Kahr sent me for review is number 145 of 500. I had seen photos of the\npistol before receiving it, so I had a good idea what to expect, but I was\nstill a bit surprised at the beauty of the finish in person. Kahr calls it\n\u201cSniper Grey\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s a Cerakote finish and done to perfection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
The \u2018Sniper Grey\u2019 Cerakote finish was an excellent choice for this special gun, and it is as tough as it is pretty. The polished barrel hood looks right at home against it.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The aluminum grips that were custom made by Hogue<\/em><\/strong> set it off beautifully. The grips include \u201cKahr\u201d engraved on one side panel and \u201cK9\u201d on the other. In addition to being quite fetching to look at, they offer a nice sturdy grasp on the gun and should be very durable. The front strap was left baby\u2019s butt smooth, and while it might be tempting to lament the lack of checkering there, I think that was the right decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The dimensions and mechanics are no different than the standard production K9, which is, of course, a fine handgun in any of the half-dozen or so configurations available. Kahr outfitted the Anniversary gun with TruGlo<\/em><\/strong> night sights, which contain tritium to illuminate in darkness. Three magazines are also provided. I received two 7-round mags and one 8-rounder with the slightly extended baseplate. They are single-stack magazines, and have two extras on you while carrying the pistol is an easy accomplishment. And speaking of carrying the pistol \u2013 Kahr lets us know right off the bat that this gun is meant to be used, not stuck in some presentation box or tucked away in the back of the safe. A holster is provided with the gun \u2013 and not just any holster, but one made by one of my favorite leather holster makers \u2013 1791 Gunleather<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Of the three magazines supplied, one is extended and takes an extra round, giving the K9 an 8+1 capacity.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"KAHR
This top-quality custom holster from 1791 Gunleather is included with the pistol, making it literally ready to carry \u2013 in style \u2013 right out of the box.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The holster is an OWB in black leather and it quite literally fits this pistol like a glove. To put some icing on that cake, the holster also is engraved with the \u201c25 years\u201d designation to match that on the slide. Well, if Kahr is going to outfit this pretty custom pistol with a leather holster \u2013 they clearly mean for it to be carried. And if they mean for it to be carried, then they intended for it to be shot. I\u2019ve not met a gun yet that was too nice to shoot \u2013 so I got about the business of seriously testing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHOOTING THE K9 25th<\/sup> ANNIVERSARY EDITION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I suppose there are guns that are \u2018too pretty to shoot\u2019, but\nI\u2019ve yet to find one. That idea to me is like a car \u2018too nice to drive\u2019. So,\nwhile it may seem like the K9 25th<\/sup> Anniversary Edition was made to\nbe a collector\u2019s safe queen, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what the folks at Kahr really\nhad in mind. At least, it didn\u2019t seem that way when I started putting rounds\nthrough it. Prior to shooting it, I had been admiring the finish and the\nengraving, and all the little extra details that adorn the pistol, but from the\nmoment I first pulled the trigger, it became all about shooting. It became much\nless about pretty stuff, and all about sights, trigger, and ergonomics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
The author was more than a little impressed with how fun this small 9mm pistol is to shoot \u2013 and how accurate it is.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kahr PM9 has been a primary carry gun for me for many years, and I really like the feel of the triggers that Kahr puts in their pistols. They are somewhat unique among small handguns; in that, they employ a long stroke and moderately heavy pull rather than other mechanical safeties such as in-trigger-levers or grip safeties. It is also important to remember that the K9 was designed in an era when the double-action revolver was still a viable carry option for a great many people, both civilian and law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
At the top of the long list of things to love about this pistol is the trigger. Its long stroke is ultra-smooth, and its polished face just glides under the finger.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mimicking that long stroke was very intuitive for the shooter, and the Kahr trigger is far smoother and lighter. There is also the advantage of a smooth face, as opposed to the often-uncomfortable safety blade most striker-fired guns use. Kahr publishes the trigger weight to be 7 lbs., but I measured it at 6 lbs. 3 oz. using the Lyman digital scale. Reset is a moot point \u2013 like a DA revolver, you just let all the way back out. A final word on the trigger from me is that it is lighter than expected and silky smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Despite its many extras and fancy cuts and engraving, the K9 is every bit a defensive handgun, made to be ready to defend innocent lives at less than a moment\u2019s notice.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ergonomics of the Kahr K9 is very good for such a small handgun. The gun is tall enough (4 \u00bd\u201d) to accommodate all four of my fingers (your mileage may vary if you have ape hands) and there is just enough grip tang to wedge the web of my hand into for a snug, firm grasp. Although the trigger is set pretty far forward, it is easily reached with good finger pad placement. The frame of the gun has ample real estate for my preferred \u2018thumbs forward\u2019 grip style, with a natural index point in front of the slide stop lever. That lever functions very well in both directions \u2013 something I am a bit picky about. It is easy to engage the stop and lock the slide open without altering your grip, using an upward swipe with the thumb \u2013 and equally easy to release it with the thumb to load a round into the chamber. It did take a couple of cycles of the gun to get the stiffness out, and after that, it was a breeze every time. Another temporary hitch was the extended 8-round magazine, which locked the slide open prematurely with a single round remaining, on the first two times it was used. Some visual inspection didn\u2019t yield any clues, so I pressed on \u2013 and it didn\u2019t occur again in another dozen uses. Chalk that up to stiffness and break-in. The magazine release is small but easily reached without changing the strong hand grip, and is easy to operate. Magazines dropped free with some energy each and every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Kahr outfitted this special gun with an excellent set of sights. The simple white ring pops into view quickly against the dark rear sight. All three dots feature tritium centers and will glow in total darkness.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sights are the third piece in the trifecta of key\ncriteria for shooting, and these did not disappoint at all. Kahr chose to top\noff the K9 25th<\/sup> Anniversary gun with a set of TruGlo\u00ae sights, which\nprovide a great daytime sight picture as well as a full darkness sight picture\nvia tritium-powered dots. The front sight contains the tritium vile in the\ncenter dot, surrounded by a bright white ring, which is easy to pick up\nquickly. This front sight rests in the notch of a very good rear sight that\ncontains two tritium dots set into black rings inside a serrated black sight.\nThis keeps the eye focused on the front sight while still providing full\ndarkness capability and daytime anti-glare. The rear sight is also cut to\nprovide a tactical edge so that the slide can be racked via one-hand use when\nnecessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I put several different types of 9mm ammo through the K9 during testing \u2013 everything from budget-minded range ammo like Magtech and Federal American Eagle, to top-shelf defensive stuff from SIG, Speer, and Hornady +P Critical Duty. The pistol handled everything I fed it, hundreds of rounds in all, and shot very consistently at all distances \u2013 albeit slightly to the left. A simple rear sight adjustment would resolve that. I was able to empty all three magazines into a 7-yard group off-hand with a full spread of only 2 \u00bd\u201d. Recoil was managed extremely well by this little K9. Very often, the tradeoff for concealability is punishing recoil, but Kahr has engineered this gun to shoot flat, even with the hot stuff. This is usually accomplished by a strong recoil spring, which can mean trouble with lighter loads by short cycling the already short-cycle slide stroke, but even when I snuck in a few of my ultra-light competition loads, the gun ran just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
22-rounds of ball ammo inside a 2 \u00bd\u201d group from 7 yards offhand. This consistent accuracy could be due in part to the polygonal rifling in the barrel.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sights came right back on target after every shot, allowing\nfor quick follow-up shots. From a more formal rested position, I tested six\ndifferent loads \u2013 all with very impressive results. What was most impressive\nwas that all of the groups appeared in the same area of the target relative to\nthe aim point. That degree of consistency across a mix of ammo is better than\nI\u2019ve seen in some time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Rested groups were equally impressive and consistent. This tight bunch with Federal HST took top honors at well under \u00be\u201d.<\/em>

JUST MY OPINION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Kahr K9 played a significant role in defining the concealed carry gun of today and remains as relevant now as it was when it was introduced 25 years ago. Celebrating that longevity with this special edition model was not just a great idea \u2013 but perfectly executed. If you have a vintage K9, this special model might appeal to your sense of nostalgia, or perhaps even be a fun way to \u2018trade up\u2019. If you have never owned a K9, this is very likely the best way to join that club. And if you just want to be the guy who buys the collectible piece brand new, instead of years later after the price has gone up \u2013 that\u2019s a good reason too. For me, it is the combination of the excellent aesthetics and extra touches that Kahr designed onto this gun, and the fact that it is a completely legitimate carry option and a heck of a shooter. The folks at Kahr Arms did a great job of combining what the collector and brand aficionado would want with what the dedicated shooter would want. It is equally at home in the display case, or in the high-quality 1791 holster included with it \u2013 on your hip at the range, or under a cover garment protecting your family. When working with a review gun, I usually find myself focusing on one or two key questions that I try and answer in the course of the testing and writing\u2026 but sometimes I just get fixated on a really dumb thought like, \u201chow long did it take the marketing folks to decide on Sniper Grey<\/em> versus Sniper Gray<\/em>?\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"KAHR
Under all the frills and extras lies a no-nonsense Kahr K9, now 25 years old\u2026 many happy returns!<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
