Built on a compact stainless-steel frame with a 3.5-inch Lothar-Walther polygonal-rifled barrel, this striker-fired DAO handgun pairs duty-grade durability with smooth, 7 lb double-action pull.

Introduced in 1994, the K9 was Kahr’s first production model and remains one of the few domestically produced, all-steel carry pistols still in production. Its compact footprint balances concealability with a full-hand grip aided by wrap-around textured rubber panels.
The pistol’s 416 stainless-steel barrel features polygonal rifling for optimized bullet seal and a recessed crown for added muzzle protection. Combined with the matte stainless slide, the K9 resists corrosion while maintaining a subdued, non-reflective profile.
Kahr’s patented Safe-Cam striker system and passive striker block deliver a consistent, 7 lb double-action-only pull without external safeties, streamlining operation under stress. Rear cocking serrations offer confident slide manipulation.
Dovetailed 3-dot night sights provide rapid sight acquisition in low light, and the crowned muzzle aids accuracy from the compact 3.5-inch barrel. The pistol ships with two 7-round single-stack magazines, keeping the profile slim for discreet carry.
