Let me just say I am a huge fan of Blue Bloods....

On the show, Donny Wahlberg's character carries a Kahr K9 or T9.

 

Pretty good looking gun, and I've read that trigger is great and it's a great feeling pistol.

Anyone own one or shot one?

 

Been saving for my next purchase and this might be a contender....

 

What do people think?

Easy to find?

Not the exact same model but I have a PM9 that I carry occasionally as a BUG that has been great. Nice little gun, no malfunctions over a few thousand rounds through it.

 

Keep in mind that the NYPD recently removed Kahr as an approved duty gun after some reliability issues.

I see a lot of NYPD getting Glocks when I'm walking around. I thought some had M&Ps as well but not sure.

I have a CM9.  Smaller grip.  I love it.  I've put about 500 rounds thru it with no issues.  Not exactly a high round count but I've slept soundly with it in the nightstand.

I have searched that too, used to approved for off duty carry, but not anymore.

Even more odd is that it is his everyday carry on the show. Hollywood took its Liberty with this one.

I just think the all metal kahrs are great looking guns. From reading online they are really ergonomic, and it says the trigger is long but smooth, and because of the metal construction and weight, recoil is very low.

The t9 with the wood grips looks very visually appealing !

IIRC, it wasn't a reliability issue with the gun. After a series of ND's over a few years the NYPD asked Kahr to increase the trigger pull to 13 lbs (from 7 or 8) and Kahr said they tried, but couldn't get the pull up that high.

 

Here is a link to an article about the issue:

I have an MK9. At the time I purchased it the reliability of the poly framed variant was about 50/50 (that problem apparently has been solved) and the all stainless guns seemed to run well. It is heavy and really needs to be carried on the belt, rather than pocket carry. Has great sights, polygonal rifling (not all of them do - the less expensive Kahrs use regular broach cut rifling) and a long, light and smooth D/A trigger. Great little gun.

 

 

Adios,
