Which didn’t make much difference in terms of weight: the gun came in at 658 grams – not even 100 grams heavier than a Glock 26 and a whopping 200 grams lighter than the 9 Para pocket pistol classic, the Star M 43 Firestar and others. Traditionalists appreciated the material selected for the Kahr: the Massachusetts-based manufacturer chose a slide and frame made of solid stainless steel. The striker-fired semiautomatic pistol was designed with a Browning-Petter-SIG locking block combined with a rigid, closed control cam in the style of a CZ-75. When it was previewed at the end of 1998 and first made available starting in 1999, the Kahr MK9 became the smallest 9 Para pistol on the market at its debut. ![]()
