I've always had the hots for a P7M8.
Yeah, it's weird that dropping the mag makes a difference. Are these SWC loads? I found that my CT45 won't chamber those fully without forcing, while they have worked just fine in all my 1911's....
I've never had any problems with my Kahr followers, and some of my mags are over 25years old with thousands of round through them. The bases OTOH are another issue. They will break eventually. But...
I carried either a K9, a 1911, or a HiPower IWB for years. Mostly the K9. Very do-able in a Milt Sparks VMII. But after I developed lower back trouble related to an injury, that method tends to...
I haven't shot the MK40, but I did have a range session with a rental MK9 years ago. I was amazed at how easy it was to shoot well. I'd say that little gun is probably my favorite pistol that I've...
Yeah, a good review - and well written. I'm not a fan of the 380 cartridge, but that almost makes me want to get a CT380. I know I'd like it, since I like every other Kahr I've handled.
I did talk to another CT45 owner who said his extractor is just like mine. Paying closer attention, the extractor is flush when a round is chambered but recessed slightly when the chamber is empty....
Nice!
And thanks for the tip about the 365 cover plate. I hadn't thought of that for mine.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any aftermarket source for non-plastic mag baseplates for any Kahrs. I do...
That's very cool - and useful. Thanks for posting.
Yep. I thought of doing that instead of selling the 365, but since I wasn't really fond of the trigger either it just didn't make sense to me. Especially since I found the Shield Plus to be more to...
Yeah, that's one sharp looking pistol!
I have one of the E-nickel K9s they made early on. It's a safe queen now, but it needs a set of those grips. 👍
I had a 365xl for a year or so and shot it quite a bit. I sold it because I couldn't shoot it as well as my Kahrs and it didn't conceal any easier. The trigger is good, but not that good. For me, the...
True. I'm just commenting on how if the X9 is a little thicker than the 365 that's not necessarily a bad thing. And if grip thickness was my only beef with the 365 (which it was not, and I also...

Picked up a new CT45. Liking the gun. But I notice that with a round chambered, the extractor does not stand proud of the slide and indicate in any way that a round is chambered. All of my 9mm Kahrs...
It could stand to be a little thicker. I couldn't stand the 365 grip because it was too thin for my hand.
If they nail the size and shape like they did with the K9, I can see it being a hit. I rejected the Hellcat over the shape of the grip. After living with the 365xl for a while, I sold it and...
I see they have the front tritium sight for C series in stock right now. If I was you, I'd have them install that for you.
I tried the Galloway flat trigger on my P9 and was unimpressed. I like a flat trigger on a couple other pistols I've had, but I took that off and put it back to stock. OTOH, I had Galloway mill the...
I'm not sure that I'll buy the X9 any time soon, but based on my recent experience with the CT45, if JM brought out a T45, I'd be on it in a heartbeat. The size is perfect. A little more weight would...
There is a P45, and it carries 6+1. The CT45 carries 7+1, so I would expect the same with an all steel T45 - which would IMO be a very good idea.
Here's a guy who gets it.
That probably confirms it has my favorite trigger. ;)
I'm so late to this thread, it's turned into a revolver discussion. Well....stands to reason.
The X9.... I think I like everything about it - except maybe the number tag, but I can let that...
