Just picked this one up the other day....have contacted Kahr for more information (they have told me November 1998). I've heard this was a limited run, Serial number series is LTD001-LTD400, Mine is in the first 100. It appears to have been carried a fair amount, but doesn't look to have been a range pistol, thats for sure. The slide is a bit more glossy another more recently made duo tone I saw on GB, and the frame looks almost polished...I've heard the slides were coated in Birdsongs Black-T, it has XS night sights, and the nylon grips. The slide lettering came filled in with 'white', not sure if thats factory or not....either way, its a sharp little pistol.
I'm looking forward to carrying this alot, shooting it occasionally.
Thanks for looking
John

I am gonna say from what I could find that gun was made in 2001, It probabl;y has a carbon steel slide on it. I would venture to say the xs sights wre installed in the last few years, and I am just not sure in 2001 they had xs sights for kahrs.. Nice gun. The white lettering was not factory.

Can you take a clear picture of the top of the slide showing the XS sights from a shooters perspective and from above? I am interested in the XS Big Dots for my MK and XD9sc.

Thanks.
