Saw a LGS K9 for $400 - great buy. But...
My arthritic thumb cannot properly engage the mag release - do extended ones exist?
I suppose the K series is pretty trouble free - good assumption?
Thanks.

Do you mean mag release or slide release? I never noticed the mag release to be any stiffer on my Kahrs than any of my other guns. The slide release can be a bit stiff, so I also slingshot the slide.
I've not seen an extended mag release for Kahr.
If it's a good buy, get it and then check out how the release is working into the mags by looking down the frame after disassembling the gun & mags. If it's a problem, get a new mag release. Sounds like the gun may have a mag release issue.
These guns are really for carry. Competition guns need extended releases for quick changes during competition. Not worried about a quick change in my carry gun(s).
I don’t think I’ve seen one either.
I am finding that getting the mag release to work well in a Kahr is tough and the K series makes it harder, particularly with the rubber grips. My hands are not small, but my thumbs don't have enough clearance to push it in readily. I think the one I've been looking at has a MR that may needs replacing too. Even on my new ST9, you REALLY have to nail the release to drop the mag - on the 9mm plastic guns, this is easier.
