Pistol | Glass | Milsurp Megathread of the day: What Should I Buy Wednesday | Politics Unlike many small pocket pistols the MK 9 has actual and useable 3 dot sights and I applaud Kahr for realizing that many people still want to be able to get a proper sight picture on target (However, I do wish there were night sights on the pistol).Īs you will see in the targets included below the accuracy of the MK 9 is more than sufficient at reasonable distances.Welcome to /r/guns! Please read the rules, the FAQ, and search before posting. They might be right, however due to the length of the pull it is important to be on guard against muscling the pistol and pulling or pushing the shots to the left or right. Many feel that Kahr pistols have the best double action of any pistol on the market. The trigger pull is somewhat long but very smooth and not too heavy. My hands are small enough that the finger extension allows me get all three fingers on the grip. That being said, the pistol is still pretty easy to hold onto during shooting and for me, the Pearce finger extension paid dividends during the handling of the handgun. My only other complaint is that the grip is a little too vertical and I would appreciate a just a bit more angle (say, oh…11 degrees). The heavier weight of this pistol can cause the pocket and pants to sag if they are not help up properly. If you want to get an MK 9 for pocket carry you must make sure that the pocket is strong enough to hold it and that your pants are properly supported by your belt. The extra weight of the stainless steel also lessens the recoil, but the 9mm recoil is not really an issue to me in the realm of pocket pistols.Īnd being a pocket pistol the MK 9 rides well in either an inside-the-waistband rig or a pocket holster. This maybe so, but the MK 9’s stainless steel grip is surrounded by the wraparound nylon grips that fill my hand better than the skinny, bare polymer frame of the PM 9. The stats from Kahr put both pistols with a slide width of. I found the PM 9 to be too thin to shoot comfortably and if you can't shoot a pistol comfortably it is difficult to shoot it accurately. Like most handgun purchases, deciding on the features you want is a compromise since there aren’t too many “perfect” handguns out there. One would think that the MK9’s svelte sister, the 14 ounce PM 9, would be a better choice but…not necessarily.
