    i happen to think the S&W 3953 is the best all around 9mm made, the Kahr K9 is the closest thing to that.

    id have no problem carrying a K9 again.
    I hate being bi-polar, its awsome!

    That Smith is on my short list. (T9, 3953, bargain price G29 are the prominent ones)

    If I found one (impossible around here, it seems) I'd buy it.

    But I need another gun like I need another hole in my head!!

    Default 3953

    I would pick one up too, if I find the right condition at the right price. I looked into it quite a bit, but buying one sight unseen, and without shooting one first, seemed at bit disconcerting.

    My only current option for carry was a less than practical Glock 21. I wanted a brand new pistol for every day carry and so that ruled out the Smith for me. Now that the K9 is on the way, the risk of also getting a used 3953 is less of a factor.

    It's definitely on my short list too. Perhaps a 3913.. or a 4516..

    Or- ALL THREE

    --your post just showed up after I seconded the K9 recommendation. I was too late! Congrats--I don't believe you'll have any regrets whatsoever. I have the K40 and not the K9, but it continues to amaze me--it can print some impressive groups (for me at least). I feel learning the trigger is sort of a continuous process though, but I'm working up some more modest loads for the gun for more sustainable practice at draw-and-fire.

    Congrats again! Everyone likes photos, too, you know.

    I love my all-steel K9, but I just added a P9 and it's the same pistol with 8 less ounces... a big deal to me. I also have a P40 and carry it, too. I just couldn't handle the extra 8 ounces of the K, and I do have excellent belts... Looper Kydex-Reinforced gun belts and Cross Breed Mini Tuck holsters.

    I wear shorts most of the year and long, loose Tees or Polos most of the year down here in northern Florida.

    The K9 is a great small size carry piece. Galco makes a great ankle holster for it, too.
