KAHR
P9 Polymer Rocks!
By Jerry Lamb
I have enjoyed shooting sports for many years.
Being a retired law enforcement officer & firearms instructor, I’ve shot
almost every type of handgun made, but thought the "only" automatic I
could depend my life on was a tuned .45 ACP. That was before I purchased
a KAHR P9 polymer.
The instruction manual advised to fire a minimum of
200 rounds to ensure positive functioning before "depending" on it as a
carry gun. I dutifully collected every type of odds and end 9mm I could
scrounge up, (about 300rounds including different foreign military &
U.S. commercial manufacturer, reloads, HP, etc.), and headed for the
range. I expected to spend the better part of the morning clearing jams
trying to "break in" another new pistol, but boy was I wrong! The KAHR
ate every thing I fed it. Right out of the box it printed dead on at 25
yds., never jammed, complained, or hesitated. It is light, flat, easy to
carry, deadly accurate, and fun to shoot. I tried everything to get the
gun to malfunction. No dice. At under 16 oz., 7 +1rounds, & tack
driving accuracy, it is my preferred carry gun. 1,000 rounds have added
no visible wear. The consistent double action trigger is the best for an
old double action revolver man. I'll take the Kahr P9 over a Glock any
day.
