someone else won the grips. The owner said in his post that he had several, so I emailed him and asked him if he would sell any. I'll let you know what he says.
seems like he doesn't want to reply to my email.

Thanks anyway, Pilgrim. I just put a bid on a pair on gunbroker.com. We'll find out tonight if I get them.Pilgrim said:seems like he doesn't want to reply to my email.
I haven't shot the PM9 or PM40. I do have an MK9, K9, and K40. The K9 is very pleasant to shoot. The MK9 is not bad. The K40 is distinctly unpleasant to shoot.The Kahr PM9 in 9MM is a decent choice, but I'd step up to the PM40.

If we did have the opportunity to buy Kahrs in MA, I'd try the PM9 long before the PM40. YMMV.
No, and no . I'm still waiting for my Walther PPK to sell - once that happens, I know where there are some Kahrs (both new and used) and will go and purchase one.Cross-X said:So, has our Resident Grammarian Dwarf bought a small pistol yet, or is he still dithering? (smile)

The MK9 is surprisingly accurate. The excellent sights help.he sure shoots the ass off of his Kahr, and it's a compact!
I know - I've seen him shoot!Cross-X said:Once you get one, ask DR for a few tips -- he sure shoots the ass off of his Kahr, and it's a compact!
Chris said:Kahr and Kel-Tec are not legal in MA for sale from a dealer. The P-3AT came out after the law, so there isn't likely to be ANY available in state. Even the P32 is VERY rare.
Move to New Hampshire where you can buy anything you want.............with highcaps.

Actually Buffalo Bill, there are quite a few Kahr guns that are on the most recent EOPS approved roster, and CAN be purchased from a dealer in MA.
Also, there are ALWAYS some in the state even if they weren't on the roster yet. People who move to MA and bring their Kahrs or H&K USPs can bring them in and sell them FTF here with no problem.
But they don't meet the AGs regs. So you can't buy a new one.Actually Buffalo Bill, there are quite a few Kahr guns that are on the most recent EOPS approved roster
dwarven1 said:Now... what to get? What I want:
Small - pocket sized.
9MM or above (9mm is LOTS cheaper to practice with than .380, not to mention having more punch)
Thanks,

Just curious. Have actually fired an MK40?The .40 is a much better stopper than the 9mm (with lots of real data to prove it), and has very little recoil. Also, .40 ammo is pretty cheap.
M1911 said:Just curious. Have actually fired an MK40?
I have not. But based on my experience with my K40, K9, and MK9, I suspect that I would not consider the MK40 recoil to be "very little". Second, you can't buy a new MK40 in MA. MK9, MK40, and PM9 are all very hard to find in MA.
wheelgun said:... The only advantage of the 9mm at the time was a bit higher capacity, but since civilians in MA are now limited to 10 rounds that's a moot point...

drgrant said:...I won't discredit "energy transfer" entirely, but most of the evidence out there seems to point to it as being BS. The only compelling evidence ive seen about energy transfer in handgun calibers is that when Ammolab was still open, the .357 Sig and the 10mm Auto were the only two calibers to crack the boards in their testing jig. ...
It's also one of the most unreliable rounds I've ever seen - every .25 I've ever shot or seen shot has had FTFs. I'd rather trust my Davis .22Mag derringer than a .25!drgrant said:The only caliber I conciously avoid for defensive purpouses is .25 ACP.... it's horrendeously anemic, even compared to .22 LR.
drgrant said:Please cite some sources (other than marshall and sanow, who've already
been widely discredited) to back this up.
It depends on the school of wound ballistics that you believe
in. If you're one of the "energy transfer" types, then I'm surprised
you're not telling him to get a G29. After all, it's a lot more powerful
than anything in .40 S+W is.

Not true! Not true! It's a myth!
I'm going to disagree with this. I've got a K9 and a K40. The K40 is only marginally larger than the K9. For me, the K9 is quite pleasant to shoot but the K40 is quite unpleasant to shoot.I'm just saying for a given model the .40 recoil is only slightly more than the 9mm.

wheelgun said:True for new magazines. I wasn't considering pre-94 mags. But how many pre-1994 mags are available for semi-auto handguns? I claim ignorance there, but I see that numerous on-line stores are claiming they have no more available for major brands like Glock etc. I mean they're not like AR mags which are availabe pre-94 for cheap by the fistful.
