![]() The slide continues rearward and extracts and ejects the spent case. When a cartridge is fired, the slide is pushed rearward, and a cam on the barrel lug pulls the barrel down and unlocks it from the slide. In addition, the K9 does not have a magazine disconnect safety, so it will fire when the magazine is out. ![]() Because there are no external safeties, the K9’s exterior is snag-free, which is great for a gun that’s primarily intended for legal concealed carry. There are no external safeties on the K9, but there is an internal striker block that immobilizes the partially cocked striker from any movement until it is deactivated by squeezing the trigger through a complete stroke. When the trigger is squeezed fully, the stroke rotates a cam that unlocks the spring-loaded striker safety, withdraws and moves the striker to the fullcock position, and then releases the striker to fire a cartridge. In my experience, the K9 has a smooth trigger stroke that is stage-free. The Kahr K9 is a double-action-only (DAO), striker-fired 9mm autoloader. Shooting Times got an advance look at the special Kahr K9. ![]() Kahr is celebrating the K9 turning 25 years old this year, and the company will offer a commemorative model to acknowledge that milestone. Now I have the pleasure of working with one of Kahr’s premium models: the K9. Two years ago, I wrote about two then-new versions of Kahr’s Value Series CW9 and CM9 pistols.
