The Kahrs are a dream to pocket carry. I am not sure what a previous poster meant by the Quote: "the Kahr was a problem from the get go and Kahr could never cure the issues with its two decades old design". I still have one of the first K9's that was ever produced and have never had a problem. If I could only have one of those guns however, it would be the Shield.

Pyro, I have to agree with you on the Kahr K9. I too have an early one and though all steel it's one of my favorite small pistols. The Kahr is still in my carry rotation. I almost feel bad for those still having trouble finding a Shield, I bought 2 of them within a week, one online for $420 then the second from my local dealer for $341. My XDs on the other hand was $548 and my Nano cost me $385.
