Kahr MK9 9mm Compact Pistol - CA Compliant

The Kahr MK9: Serious Protection in a Pocket-Sized Package

Kahr Arms has accomplished something remarkable with the MK9—delivering genuine 9mm stopping power in a pistol barely larger than a .32, yet with significantly greater defensive capability. This is a purpose-built concealed carry pistol that doesn't compromise on reliability or shootability.

Design and Operation

The MK9 employs a trigger-cocking double-action-only (DAO) mechanism with a lock breech design and Browning-type recoil lug. The passive striker block provides drop safety without requiring a manual safety lever, making it ideal for quick deployment from concealment. There is no magazine disconnect, meaning the pistol will fire with an empty magazine inserted—a feature preferred by many defensive shooters.

• Caliber: 9mm Luger
• Barrel: 3.0 inches with polygonal rifling (1:10 right-hand twist)
• Overall Length: 5.3 inches

• Slide Width: 0.90 inches

Sights and Controls

The MK9 ships with drift-adjustable white bar-dot combat sights—a proven sight picture for both speed and accuracy. The wraparound textured hard nylon grips provide secure purchase even with wet hands, and the serrated slide aids manipulation during press checks and malfunction clearance.

What's Included

You receive the pistol with two 6-round flush-fit magazines and one 7-round extended magazine, giving you flexibility in how you carry and configure your pistol. The flush magazines disappear into a pocket holster, while the extended magazine offers a full firing grip for range work or duty use.

California Compliance

This model meets all California requirements for legal ownership and carry.

The Kahr MK9 is a no-nonsense defensive tool—reliable, concealable, and powerful enough to matter when it counts.
