Getting the K9 ready.

[Bawanna]

I acquired this K9 a couple years back. Mostly to make grips off but kind of gave up on Kahr grips with the various frames and such but still make some now and then.
Never did shoot it if I recall correctly.

Thought about trading it off, I'm a 45 guy. But then I remember vacation this summer first round out of the 1911 kind of stung my wrist pretty good. I didn't cry or anything but it was a might uncomfortable.
I figure I'll keep shooting the 45 until I cry with every shot.

BUT the day will come when I just might have to downsize to 9, lowest I'll go for a carry gun and I won't go there easy or until I absolutely need too. So I decided I'd best keep this one.
So today I decided to give it some love and prep.

I took it all down and first thing I noticed no guide marks on the slide, I thought that was really cool, then I looked a bit and realized that no K9's have the guide marks as the slide lock pin latch up is different than the tupperware versions.
Still cool. Looks clean.

Anyhow no surprises inside the slide, striker channel was spiffy clean but of course lots of oil.
I polished the barrel while I had it out and also polished the magazines while they were apart. Threw a coat of car wax on the mags and they are spiffy.

I think I'll have to go out and shoot this one a bit. Made me feel a bit better after I had to leave an AR pistol behind at our gunshow this morning. Never had a hankering for an AR especially a pistol but this one kind of clicked.
Anyhow left it behind, no money as usual.

Some photo's for the reading challenged.

I feel your .45 pain. My CW45 now "stings" my wrist and I have found myself practicing with the 9mm's.
I also have noticed that shooting helps to dissipate disappointments.

[Alfonse]

Good call sir. I think you'll like shooting that one.

[Bawanna]

My offer to you Al still stands. No change there at all.

[AIRret]

She's a beauty!!

My 45's don't bother me to shoot (I'm lucky) but unless I'm firing a 45 with some weight my follow up shots are slower than with a 9.
So if I'm carrying a compact it's usually a 9.

The important question is, who's the gal in the photo in the background?

I've been interested in Kahr pistols since the time, many years ago, when I handled a K9 at a gun show. I still haven't bought one of those, but I eventually will.

Tight groups,
Bob

I guess, Bawanna, that some don't believe the photo is Mrs. Bawanna earlier in life!

[Bawanna]

Guess they'll have to run it through Snopes or something. I never held much credence in what Snopes says but a lot of people do.

My offer to you Al still stands. No change there at all.

I need a new safe before I get a third K9! I'm out of space. Love that pistol though.

[Bawanna]

I need a new safe too as does my son who recently got his own place. Don't let that stop you, grab them when you can.

I got all my son's and mine out in my room. He working for the railroad never knows when he's working or sometimes where. Often times has to stay out of town or even Canada over night or sometimes multiple nights. Safe is full, and lots out but the room does lock, which will only slow them down.
Never had issues in the past but that could change any moment, never know.
