SPF. WTS used K9 "Lady K". Blued steel. Standard sights. Excellent condition mechanically. Very good condition cosmetically. I understand Kahr made these a while ago, lighter recoil spring and striker spring and some additional polishing of the striker. No box, two 7rd mags, Kahr wood grips that I stippled plus factory rubber grips.

PRICE DROP: $380 FTF in FLA with CWP holder or $410 shipped to your FFL. Just not in Calif.

OPTIONS: Buyer of pistol may purchase three 8rd round mags for additional $50. If you do not want the wood grips, I'll take $20 off the price of the pistol.

Little more info on the Lady K K9 from an Ayoob article:

Wolff makes virtually all the springs for Kahr. That's comforting to know, since Wolff is the best name in the business. Early K9 models had a reputation for needing a strong hand on the slide to jack it all the way back. Justin Moon originally designed the gun to feed hot +P and +P+115 gr. ammo. The design was driven by Moon's studies of what worked on the street. The advice of the studies still holds.
However, Moon learned a lot of customers preferred standard-pressure 9mm rounds or had to carry the feeble subsonic ammo issued by their agencies. He also discovered that some female users found the slide spring too strong to manipulate. He designed a model using a lighter recoil spring. This was originally known as the "Lady Kahr" model. No more than 2,000 were made, say Harris, before the company went back to using standard springs.
Changing a gun's springs is a synergistic endeavor. "To overcome the lesser-power recoil spring, we had to make other changes," explained Harris. "We had to make a different extractor for the Lady Kahr, a different striker spring and hone out the striker bore. It wasn't cost efficient and the demand didn't justify it." Now, all the Kahr models have full-power springs. Ayoob, House of Kahrs, Guns Magazine, 2001
