Yep. I agree. I think magazines get more wear from cycling through compression cycles than leaving them loaded.
And, you are right. Magazine springs generally take a “set” after just a few uses....

Thanks for making me take them apart. Good suggestion.
Old left. New right.
Follower looks ok. But, the spring has definitely taken a set, and is shorter.
Has anyone tried the Lakeland...
My used, older K9 came with two magazines. They are simply marked Kahr.
One of the magazines nosedives a round with disturbing regularity. No rhyme or reason, just in the middle of a string. It’s...
Kahr required the serial number to get me the new slide stop. So, apparently there is some sort of Rhyme and reason as to when they changed slide stops.
Either way. Dropped right in. No issues. ...
if it snaps, it was probably cast or MIM….
😁
I’m pretty sure that’s investment cast. That “seam” is pretty indicative.
From the responses, I don’t think it’s really something to worry...
Mine gave zero indication. Of course, I never looked at it prior, who would think.
As I stated “annoying”. The gun still ran. Obviously didn’t lock open on the last shot. It, quite literally,...
No. It’s stainless with the black finish. Whatever they were using at the time.
So, mabe there have been three versions of slide stops.
Old style. One piece. Tapered end
New style, one...
Make note. There are two slide stops. Mine is the old style. One piece. The new style have the pin as a separate piece. Apparently, not interchangeable.
Not at all. It was very non violent. I was shooting and it just literally, plopped on my right thumb. Never even hit the ground. I looked at it and thought “Where the hell did that come from?” I...
Annoying.

I just picked up BF11XX. Stainless. Black finish. The barrel is Electroless Nickel.
The black finish has always been really tough. More rust resistant that bare Stainless. I would leave it on...
Were all the NYPD guns stainless? Were any authorized with the black finish?
And, what holsters were authorized? I’m sure it was something off the wall like Jay Pee or Cobra.
I had a T9. It was an absolutely fantastic gun that just didn’t quite fill any role I had for a gun. Not as easy to conceal as others. I sold it shortly after I got a Springfield Armory EMP4.
The...
I have no idea why I do it. I’ve owned half a dozen Kahrs. PM9. A couple K9’s. A T9. A MK9….etc.
Then, I had none. Traded some. Gave one away.
Then remember what great triggers they have and...
As we all know, ammo is not exactly falling out of trees right now. I have a pretty good stock of the old Federal 115 +P+. Haven’t shot it in years.
Im thinking a solid steel gun like the T9...
I kinda fell in to one. A buddy’s buddy was selling it. $600 with 3 mags. Just about new. It’s an amazing pistol. One of the greatest fits ever for my dainty, little (but, reasonably strong) hands. ...
I’ve had a number of Kahrs.
The K9. Probably the best compromise of shootability and, portability.
The K40. Never was reliable for me. Really liked it.
The MK9. Fantastic. Reliable. Easy to...
I have magical military grade corrosive sweat. I can wipe down stainless guns daily and still find little freckles of rust after a day of IWB carry.
I really don’t care. It’s just part of life. ...

Shows three in stock. If they really have three, they have cornered the world market!
I’m handy. But, starting with factory grips would be the only option for me. The inside cuts are brutal. Not like a pair of 1911 slabs!
Love the wood grips. But, anybody making composite grips for the T9? Just a little tougher for a carry gun. Maybe a little thinner?
Please check out a Springfield Armory EMP4. It’s an improved Commander in 9mm.
I just picked one up. I thought the T9 was the perfect fit for my hand. The EMP4 is as good or, slightly better.
Does it say “stainless”?
Early Kahrs were carbon steel, either blued or Black T. If it says stainless, someone applied a black finish over it or, it has the factory diamond black finish.
(the...
Picked one up on a buddy deal. Always liked Kahrs. MK9. K9. PM9. Had them all. Gave my last K9 to a buddy who really wanted it.
But.
There really is is something magical about the way the T9...
I clean my guns after after almost every range session. Often 500 rounds a day, that’s not bragging or abusing a gun. That’s simply using it.
Cleaning guns does not, for me, include a full detail...
