What is a K9 Elite?

For a time, the Elite K9s were the only K9s with the shorter "elite" trigger, about 3/4ths the trigger travel of the others. The others had a longer travel that was specified by the New York Police Department that allowed off duty use by their officers, something that Kahr proudly advertised. Wanting the shorter trigger was why I bought mine. I would have preferred an all black K9 or at least one with the more frosted appearance as I think a shiny pistol is not best for a concealed handgun. On the other hand, compared to the polymer Kahrs, I think the steel ones shoot better, both in mechanical accuracy and in handling recoil. Mine is certainly very accurate, with only minor help from me. Now, to my knowledge, all Kahrs, except those few with even shorter triggers, use the elite trigger. K9s are likely overbuilt, weighing about the same as a Glock 19, but only holding half as many rounds. I prefer shooting a K9, but carrying a P9.

Finpro - this sounds like good reasoning on why I should own a K9....and continue to carry my P9. Thanks.
