Just traded into a K9. I want to put night sights on it, but I see in the parts store that they have options for old and new style slides. I've google'd it to death, but I'm not sure how to tell the difference.

Serial Number is AH0294

Thanks for the help.

go to kahrs web site and hit on their sights, it will tellyou exactly hot to tellif you have the older style dovetail. If u take the slide off, there will be a small dimple on the bottom of your slide, on the left side towards the back of the slide,,,, very obvious to. If it is there, u have the new style, if not order the older style sights and you are good to go. Again the kahr site will show u exactly what to look for. No need to google it, kahrs site will set your free. Nice gun the K9.

By your serial number, I would say your gun was made in 1997 which would probably then have the older style dovetails, there fore no dimple at the left rear on the underside of the slide..

I belleven Mikeyh Kahr just posted a site to hit on that willshow u what to look for..
