Kahr Arms just introduced a new subcompact 9mm pistol, the Kahr X9. This new double stack, polymer frame pistol is chock full of features that are sure to please folks who carry concealed on a regular basis.
The Kahr X9
Kahr has listened to what its customers have been asking for and put its engineers to work to design a pistol that meets those needs. The X9 is a polymer frame 9mm with a double stack magazine. It has a 3.54-inch barrel and a blackened stainless slide with both front and rear serrations.
The black polymer fame has a deep inset backstrap to enhance the shooter’s grip and draw. The frame also has front and rear stippling as well as textured side panels. An accessory rail is provided on the dust cover to accept compact lasers or lights, like the Streamlight TLR-7X.
The Kahr X9 is optics-ready and will accept Holosun K footprint sights. It comes with steel White Bar-Dot combat sights. The frame and slide have minimal protrusions or sharp edges to make the X9 more comfortable for close-body carry. The pistol features a new lever-based take-down system and maintains Kahr’s popular double-action-only safe cam trigger system.
The X9 is just over 6 inches long, just under four and a half inches high, and only an inch wide. Weight is under 18 ounces. The X9 ships with a lockable hard case and two 10-round magazines. One flush fit mag, and one with an extended finger rest.
The MSRP is $549.00. If you’re in the market for a new CCW piece, the X9 has a lot to offer at a price that’s very competitive.
