Since its introduction the pistol’s design and construction have undergone a number of improvements including slightly increased chamber dimensions and the use of a Teflon electroless nickel composite material for some of the internal moving parts which improved reliability. In 1998 it was approved for off duty and backup carry by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) but as of December 2011, the Kahr K9 is no longer authorized by the NYPD as Kahr Arms was not able to increase the trigger pull to the NYPD specifications. With a reputation for both quality of construction and reliability since its introduction the pistol has remained popular with both the police and civilian markets. It was intended to address the police backup / off duty and civilian concealed carry markets. The original weapon in the series, the K9, was introduced in 1995 and features a double action only (DAO) trigger mechanism with a Locked breech recoil operated action.

I pretty much disregard the need to reload in those situations, concentrating instead on good placement of the first 6.The Kahr K series is a series of semi-automatic pistols manufactured by Kahr Arms. 32 magnum rounds with an 85 grain flat point slug will do as a defensive round for a senior citizen with weaker hand strength. Of course the ammo was the old round nose lead which might stop a pissed off raccoon on a good day. 38 special and was limited to 6 extra rounds in "dump" pouch. When someone remarks about only 12 rounds, I remind them that when I was a Chicago PD rookie I packed a pencil barrel in. 327 loads(anyone who thinks that they do not have substantial recoil simply has not shot one).Īs far as reloads go, I have found that for older folks having 6 decent rounds that can be placed properly is much more important than extra ammo, which is going to be of questionable use for a weak handed senior in the first place.

I have a S&W 331 which is extremely light but has some recoil with heavy Buffalo Bore loads, I have found that it makes a very nice pocket gun (in a pocket holster), I pack it as a BUG to a S&W 632 pro model with full house.
Lower weight wheel guns are available from Charter Arms and Ruger as well as S&W in different models. 32 New Police load that shoots well in that gun very accurately and still has some punch with even less recoil. I found she could handle the S&W 632 (all steel) with an action job quite well, and the recoil is not much more than a. My solution for my mom-that's right, my mom who is 96-has a revolver in. 380s and even some 9mms are easy to rack and have light recoil, or at least recoil that weak or arthritic hands can deal with. Most semi autos even in ,380 are hard to work, particularly if they are straight blowback.ģ. Rimfire revolvers always have a very hard trigger pull to insure ignition.Ģ. I note the following (even though I am 75 I am still strong and do hard physical labor).ġ. This is a common problem as more old folks decide to CCW as they realize that todays' America is NOT the one they grew up in. Recently, I watched a slight-build, short-finger NRA Instructor evaluating an EZ. The EZ is for someone who can not (yet) deal with a bigger Boom and like the M&P M2.0 4" is made in USA and is relatively low cost. The new-ish S&W M&P M2.0 9mm 4 inch (p/n 11683) with its included four back-straps takes care of trigger-finger issue and the recoil spring is not too difficult to replace with spring from Brownell (or several others) and swapping sear for Apex two-dot sear results in a lower cost excellent pistol ready for several tasks.įor a starter pistol, or as a working pistol for those for whom the 4" M&P is still too difficult, a solid choice is the S&W EZ in 380.

Down-loading ammo plus softer recoil spring can help, but the trigger must still be at the right distance. Difficulty racking is the first issue and, when that can be managed, finger-on-the-trigger is often an issue. I have had quite a bit of experience with strength-limited competitors.
