If we take a trip in the way back machine, we will experience what archaeologists call the Pre-CCW period. This was a time in human evolution when there weren’t a thousand EDC guns, and nobody knew what a sidecar rig was. Of course, this was not during the Stone Age but in the late 80s and 90s. Then, crime became a real issue, and people started looking for small guns to carry. One of the first to address this new challenge was Kahr Arms. In fact, they were one of the leaders in the small EDC pistol for years. Well, now they are back with a new gun. The Kahr X9 Double Stack.
Kahr X9 – New Double Stack Pistol
The new double-stacked X9 pistol from Kahr Firearms is well thought out. Kahr Firearms Group’s highly skilled engineers devoted thousands of hours to developing the pistol that Kahr fans wanted. A double-stacked handgun that continues Kahr’s tradition of quality, precision, accuracy, reliability, and safety.
Stainless Steel Barrel
The Kahr X9 includes a precision 3.54” stainless steel barrel for accuracy. It is also designed to have a very long life span to support serious training. The X9 has a black polymer frame for comfortable handling and a blackened stainless-steel slide with front serrations for improved grip.
Deep Inset Backstrap
The deep inset backstrap facilitates drawing from an appendix carry position. It allows people to get their shooting grip right in the holster. Any protrusions are minimized for comfort during concealed carry and use. Kahr Arms has developed a new lever-based takedown system that makes cleaning easy. The trigger is the safe cam, a double-action-only style that Kahr fans love. Every X9 pistol is optics-ready, with the popular Holosun K footprint allowing the shooter to customize the gun to suit their needs.
Kahr is Back -Kahr X9 – New Double Stack Pistol
Each pistol ships with two 10-round magazines. I am a fan of companies that include two mags, as this encourages you to always carry a backup mag. While they have been MIA for a while, Kahr is back. The X9 is the first step towards the next generation of Kahr handguns!
