The trigger pull is somewhat long but very smooth and not too heavy. My hands are small enough that the finger extension allows me get all three fingers on the grip. That being said, the pistol is still pretty easy to hold onto during shooting and for me, the Pearce finger extension paid dividends during the handling of the handgun. My only other complaint is that the grip is a little too vertical and I would appreciate a just a bit more angle (say, oh…11 degrees). The heavier weight of this pistol can cause the pocket and pants to sag if they are not help up properly. If you want to get an MK 9 for pocket carry you must make sure that the pocket is strong enough to hold it and that your pants are properly supported by your belt. The extra weight of the stainless steel also lessens the recoil, but the 9mm recoil is not really an issue to me in the realm of pocket pistols.Īnd being a pocket pistol the MK 9 rides well in either an inside-the-waistband rig or a pocket holster. This maybe so, but the MK 9’s stainless steel grip is surrounded by the wraparound nylon grips that fill my hand better than the skinny, bare polymer frame of the PM 9. The stats from Kahr put both pistols with a slide width of.
I found the PM 9 to be too thin to shoot comfortably and if you can't shoot a pistol comfortably it is difficult to shoot it accurately. Like most handgun purchases, deciding on the features you want is a compromise since there aren’t too many “perfect” handguns out there. One would think that the MK9’s svelte sister, the 14 ounce PM 9, would be a better choice but…not necessarily.

#Kahr mk9 6 round magazine upgrade
In summary, I am very pleased with my purchase and view installing Magguts in your Kahr CW380 or P380 as a nearly essential upgrade to improve the reliability of the Kahr while increasing your magazine capacity by one round.The MK9 is somewhat of an odd duck in the current state of pocket pistols in that it is a completely Stainless Steel pocket pistol. Magguts had no hangups on the notch for the magazine catch. I also used Flitz to polish the inside and outside walls of the magazine. I don’t mind too much as it does not impact performance, but I did lightly sand all of the surfaces of the Magguts that come in contact with the interior walls of the magazine. The Maggots follower scrapes against the inside of the magazine in a way the plastic OEM follower did not. I don’t care about cosmetics, but I do care about drag that might result in a failure to feed, so with some sandpaper I smoothed the sharp edge of the magazine lips, which reduced the scratching of the rounds. I love how the kit turns a 6 round magazine into a 7 round with no change in size.īecause the springs are more powerful, the top round was being pushed into the lips of the magazine so hard that each round was scratched by the lips. Magguts follower is an improvement over OEM in positioning the top round and in holding the slide stop up when the magazine in empty. There is an installation video online that is slightly outdated as the lower spring is now a different design. Installing the Magguts in my OEM Kahr CW380 magazine was straightforward. The ordering and shipping process went smoothly and met my expectations.
