Kahr CW-9
Notes: The “CW”
in CW-9 stands for “Concealed Weapon,” and that describes the CW-9 – a compact
9mm pistol. In real life, it is
considerably cheaper than comparable pistols, but not cheap in quality.
Despite the small size, the CW-9 is capable of handling even +P loads; it
can, in fact, digest just about any sort of 9mm Parabellum ammunition.
The CW-9 sort of combines Glock and SiG features, with a square slide a
la Glock, though in stainless steel, and a black polymer frame and grip plates
which look similar to the SiG P-229.
Inside, however, the CW-9 is all Kahr.
There are no external manual safeties of any sort, though there is a
slide catch (which is smaller than standard slide catches in order to maintain a
snagless profile). The CW-9 can use
all standard Kahr 9mm magazines.
The extractor is external, something which increases reliability, and the
ejection port is quite large. The
sights are fixed, low-profile, and polymer, with a white dot on the front sight.
The barrel is a short 3.6 inches. Unlike most other Kahrs, the weapon
does not have rounded contours, though the angled machined cuts achieve the same
low-snag purpose while reducing cost.
Due to popular
demand, Kahr quickly came out with the CW-40 and CW-45.
They are identical to the CW-9 except for the modifications necessary for
the base CW-9 to use the larger cartridges.

Kahr K-9 Series
Notes: Kahr
started out as a company producing strong, lightweight automatic pistols for
personal defense and backup. The
K-9 was their first, introduced in 1994, followed quickly by the K-40 and later
the P-380. The K-9 series looks
sort of like a like a cross between compact SiG and a Glock designs, and are
made of tough yet lightweight ordnance-quality stainless steel.
The grips are of wrap-around polymer, and most of the Kahr series in
general can use a large variety of aftermarket grips.
Operation is a modified double-action Browning-type, with a modified
locking and trigger action. The
trigger action uses an automatic firing pin safety, which is unlocked by a
patented cam system that ensures that the a full trigger pull is required for
the first double-action shot, yet also gives the K-9 series a remarkably smooth
and even trigger pull. Sights are
fixed combat sights, with the rear sight having two high-contrast dots and the
front sight using a front vertical bar marking for quick sight acquisition.
(Tritium inlays are optional.) The barrel of the base K-9 is 3.5 inches
long, and the K-9 series do not use manual safeties.
Finishes for the P-9’s frame and slide include matte stainless and black
(called “Black Diamond” by Kahr).
Another version of the base K-9, the K-9 Elite 98, is identical except for the
high-polish finish with laser-etched logos.
Other variants
of the K-9 include the MK-9 (introduced in 1998, and sometimes called the “Mk-9
Micro”), with a modified short-stroke trigger action and a smaller grip and
shorter 3.1-inch barrel. (An MK-9
Elite 98 version also exists, similar to the K-9 Elite 98 above.)
The P-9 is also virtually identical in design to the K-9, but uses a
black polymer frame with a textured grip and stainless steel slide.
The P-9 Covert is a P-9 with a shorter grip.
The PM-9 is a shorter-barreled version of the P-9 Covert, with a 3-inch
barrel. The Mk-9, P-9 Covert, and
PM-9 can also use the 7-round K-9 magazines, though that magazine will protrude
below the grip; a grip extension is made to improve the grip when using the
longer magazine.
The K-40 is
essentially the same as the P-9 series, suitably modified the .40 Smith & Wesson
cartridge. Variants
include K-40 Elite 98, MK-40/Mk-40 Elite 98, P-40, and P-40 Covert models.
The P-380 comes only in one model; this has a polymer frame, stainless
steel slide, and a 2.5-inch barrel.
The CM-9 is
essentially a developed and modified PM-9, with some features taken from the CW
series. It uses a shorter grip made
of textured polymer; in fact, the entire frame is of black polymer.
Barrel length is, as on the PM-9, 3 inches; however, it uses conventional
rifling instead of polygonal rifling.
As on the PM-9, the CM-9 has a drift-adjustable white bar-dot combat rear
sight, but it has a white-lined fixed front sight (and that front sight is
polymer). Unlike the PM-9, the CM-9
does not offer the choice of tritium night sights or a Crimson Trace laser
sight. Only one finish is available
on the CM-9 – a black polymer frame and grip and a matte stainless steel slide.
The CM-9 is also somewhat dehorned, making it a good pocket or backup
weapon. The CM-9 is meant to be a less-expensive alternative (though the game
price does not reflect this well).

Kahr T-9/T-40/P-40
Notes: This is
Kahr’s first full-sized pistol; Kahr was previously known as a company that
produced compact and pocket pistols.
The T-9 is a medium-sized weapon that fires 9mm Parabellum ammunition.
The T-9’s claim to fame is its trigger: it is one of the smoothest you
will find on a “normal” semiautomatic pistol.
Like all Kahrs, the T-9 is also known for its reliability and toughness.
The P-40 and P-9 are basically a T-40 and T-9 in with a polymer frame.
The P-40 Covert is a compact model of the P-40, made smaller by
shortening the grip; the P-9 Covert is the same idea in 9mm Parabellum.

Kahr P-45
Notes: Like most
Kahr pistols, the P-45 is a compact and lightweight pistol, introduced in the
last quarter of 2005. It uses a
textured black polymer frame, a match-grade polygonal barrel, and a
matte-stainless steel slide which makes a nice contrast to the black frame. (The
slide rides on special steel inserts in the frame.)
The trigger is double-action-only.
The trigger pull is a little heavy, but has a short length of travel.
Standard magazines are made from stainless steel, and if bought from the
factory, it is also shipped with trigger lock.
The standard sights are fixed low profile white bar-dot combat type
sights, but the P-45 may also be had with tritium-inlay sights as well; the
sights are dovetailed as well.
The TP-45 is a
more recent version of the P-45.
For the most part it is identical to the P-45, but it uses 7-round magazines,
the rear sight is adjustable for windage to a limited degree, and the barrel is
a little longer at 4.04 inches. The PM-45 is the opposite; it is the smallest
member of the P-45 series, with a barrel of only 3.14 inches, and a shorter grip
holding a smaller magazine. It’s
definitely a handful.

Kel-Tec P-3AT
Notes: This is
another of Kel-Tec’s pocket pistols, this time in .380 ACP.
It is basically a larger version of the P-32.
It was designed specifically for the needs of police for use as a backup
gun or by undercover officers; it thus fires a cartridge powerful enough to make
most people take notice when hit, but small enough to wear under clothing or a
pants leg or even put in a pocket.

Kel-Tec P-11
Notes: This
pocket pistol was advertised by Kel-Tec as the smallest and lightest 9mm
Parabellum ever made. It is
surprisingly accurate for its size, but still primarily a self-defense or backup
weapon. It was designed using CAD
programs on a computer, and built on computer-controlled machines.
The slide of the pistol is steel, but the grip, magazine well, and
trigger guard is polymer, and the frame is made from aircraft-grade aluminum.
An interesting fact about the P-11 is that it can also take 9mm
Parabellum magazines designed for Smith & Wesson’s line of 9mm Parabellum Third
Generation Pistols; these magazines with capacities of 15 rounds or less will
usually fit into a P-11 with none of the magazine protruding (though not in all
cases).
An updated
version, the PF-9, uses design features from both the P-11 and P-3AT.
It was introduced to the market in mid-2008.
Construction is much the same as the P-11, with almost every part except
the slide being light alloy or polymer.
The hammer is completely shrouded, and the sights are very low-profile.
Action is DAO, with an automatic hammer block safety to further increase
safety; a manual safety is also provided.
A very short length of MIL-STD-1913 rail is molded into the dust cover.
The P-40 is a
small .40 Smith & Wesson-firing pistol was introduced in 2001.
It is a variant of the P-11, with a synthetic frame to save weight and
the standard Kel-Tec double-action-only trigger.
The firing mechanism is enclosed in an aluminum alloy housing.
The slide is steel. The
sights have tritium inserts for night use.
It is a very small pistol, and, since it fires a powerful cartridge, can
be expected to have a lot of recoil and muzzle blast.

Kel-Tec P-32
Notes: Like the
P-11, this weapon was advertised by Kel-Tec as the smallest and lightest, this
time for a .32 ACP pistol. It was
often acquired by small people, particularly females, for self-defense, as it
fits easily in a purse. The P-32 is
dehorned as much as possible. The
grips are checkered on the sides, and have vertical grip lines and a slight palm
swell on the backstrap. The P-32 uses double-action, with an external extractor
and a hammer that is almost totally shrouded. Unfortunately, the hammer is only
available to be hand-manipulated after the slide is pulled back and released, so
the shooter cannot attempt to try to fire again a malfunctioning round. In
addition, there is no slide lock or slide release, though the slide locks back
when the magazine is empty. It was designed and built in the same manner as the
P-11. A variant, the P-32PK, has a
Parkerized finish and either a blued steel slide or a Parkerized stainless steel
slide.

Kel-Tec PLR-16
Notes: The
PLR-16 is a 5.56mm NATO-firing pistol heavily based on the SUB-2000 and SU-16
series. The receiver, pistol grip, and trigger housing are of glass fiber
reinforced polymer, with the barrel and operating parts made from high-quality
steel. Operation is by gas piston,
while breech locking is the same as that of the AR-15. Atop the receiver is a
MIL-STD-1913 rail, along with an adjustable rear sight; the front sight is an
AR-15-type post, though inside smaller ears that sit flush with the gas block.
The 9.2-inch barrel is threaded to accept accessories, but has no flash
suppressor or muzzle brake as bought from the company.
The finish is entirely in blue.
The PLR-22 is
largely the same as the PLR-16, but chambered for .22 Long Rifle ammunition.
The PLR-22, however, is not simply a conversion kit; internal parts are
purpose-modified for the new caliber, including the sights and some molded-in
features of the receiver. The
barrel length is 10.1 inches. The
standard magazines are proprietary; the magazine well is the same size as the
PLR-16, and the magazines are smoked clear polymer and the same size as a
30-round AR-15 magazine. They
contain a central column for the .22 Long Rifle rounds.
The PLR-22 can also accept magazines designed for the Atchisson
AR-16-to-.22 conversion.

Kel-Tec PMR-30
Notes: A new
Kel-Tec pistol introduced at the end of 2010, the PMR-30 is a very-high-capacity
rimfire pistol which is full-sized yet light in weight.
The frame is polymer, and much polymer is also used in other areas of the
PMR-30. The barrel, slide, and
other important parts are made of steel, and under the 4.3-inch barrel is a
MIL-STD-1913 rail. The operation is
unusual; it uses blowback operation combined with a locked breech, an unusual
combination. The result of this
combination is that the PNR-30 is able to use almost any type and makes of
ammunition. The trigger guard is
squared off for support by a finger of the supporting hand.
The trigger guard is slightly oversized and the trigger is long for a
gloved finger. The trigger is known
for its crisp feel and has an overtravel stop.
The manual safety is ambidextrous, and is a lever for safe and fire.
There is a manual slide lock in addition to a bolt hold-open device.
Sights are fixed, but have fiberoptic inlays.
The high-capacity magazine is double stack, but the rounds are nearly
stacked on top of each other to fit into the grip, which is little larger than
of a standard pistol.

Kimball
Notes: The
Kimball is an exceedingly-rare pistol for a reason – only 238 of the basic model
were built, at a very low rate of production from 1955-58.
More of an experiment-gone-commercial than anything else, the object was
to build a pistol capable of firing the .30 Carbine round.
Even more rare are the variants: two other calibers (a few in .22 Hornet,
and 2 examples of a version firing .357 Magnum).
The barrel, being only 5 inches long, was not long enough to burn all the
propellant of the .30 Carbine round before it left the barrel; this causes a lot
of unburnt propellant and carbon to be left behind in the barrel, and the muzzle
flash was large. The .30 Carbine
round was also too powerful for the design, and many frame lugs broke, causing
the slide to fly off backwards when firing.
Between 1955 and
1956, small amounts of variants called the Aircrew Model were built, in an
attempt to sell the design to the US Military.
There were never any such sales.
The Aircrew Model (also known as the Combat Model), with its 3.5-inch
barrel, had even a bigger problem with unburned propellant and carbon buildup.

Kimber Aegis Series
Notes: Though
the Aegis II is internally quite similar to the Ultra RCP II, it is considered
part of a different series than the Ultra RCP II.
The Aegis II is designed for use by police as backup weapons or for
self-defense of small carry weapons.
As with virtually all Kimbers, the Aegis II is a variant of the 1911
series.
The base member
of the Aegis series is the Ultra Aegis II, a very compact version of the 1911 in
9mm Parabellum. The barrel is
match-grade and coned, and uses no barrel bushing.
The Ultra Aegis II uses an aluminum frame finished in satin silver, while
the slide has a semi-gloss black finish.
There is a bobbed hammer which does not project from the weapon unless it
is cocked, and the manual safety and magazine release do not project as far as
the average 1911 clone. In fact,
most of the Aegis II is dehorned as much as possible.
The beavertail is rather long, and the grip safety has a projecting bump
to ensure positive engagement of the grip safety, but even the extended
beavertail and bump on the grip safety are rounded as much as possible.
The frontstrap uses 30 lpi checkering which extends almost to the top of
the frontstrap, and the bottom of the grip has a tab to help improve the
shooter’s grip. The rearstrap also
is checkered, though not as finely as the frontstrap.
The sights, while quite low and dehorned, and are of the three red-dot
variety; the rear sights are a tactical wedge with tritium inlays, while the
front is a low blade with another tritium inlay.
Both are dovetailed, enabling rough adjustments as well as allowing
replacements. Grip panels are of
smooth rosewood.
The Pro Aegis II
is essentially a Commander-size version of the Ultra Aegis II, with a 4-inch
barrel and a slightly longer grip.
It is otherwise identical to the Ultra Aegis II.
The Custom Aegis II is a full-sized version, almost identical in
construction to the Ultra Aegis II except for having a barrel bushing.

Kimber BP Ten II
Notes: The
Kimber BP Ten II is a polymer version of the M-1911.
Polymer pistols are a rarity from Kimber, but this is one of them.
It is roughly the same size as the M-1911, but weighs much less, and
carries a larger magazine. It has a
chamber loaded indicator.

Kimber CDP Series
Notes: The CDP
(Custom Defense Package) series is designed specifically for personal protection
and self-defense. The CDP series is
made in the Kimber Custom Shop, and combine the best concealed carry features of
Kimber pistols into one weapon.
They have 7075-T7 aluminum frames, with stainless steel slides that are given a
satin finish that does not reflect light; this helps cut down glare and haze
when aiming. Frames are matte black.
All edges are given the “Carry Bevel” treatment, rounded and blended by
hand to dehorn the CDP series as much as possible (though the CDP series does
not use the later melt treatment).
Barrels, trigger groups, and chambers are match-grade, with enlarged and flared
to reduce stoppages. The magazine
wells are beveled and the magazine releases extended.
The ambidextrous manual safety is likewise extended.
The grip safety is relatively flat.
Sights are fixed low-profile sights, of the three-dot type and with
luminous green dots. Fine
checkering is found on the frontstrap and backstrap, along with checkered
rosewood grip plates and checkering under the trigger guard.
The Ultra CDP II
is equipped with a 3-inch barrel, and comes in .45 ACP and 9mm Parabellum
versions. The Compact CDP II uses a
4-inch barrel, but is otherwise the same as the Ultra CDP II.
The Pro CDP II has a somewhat longer grip and is just a little heavier.
The Custom CDP II uses a 5-inch barrel with a match-grade bushing, and
has cocking serrations at the front of the slide as well as at the rear.

Kimber Compact II Series
Notes:
The Compact II Series consists of commander-length versions of the Custom
II Series. The Compact II series,
however, use match-quality bull barrels for added accuracy and barrel strength,
with no bushings. The Pro Carry
versions can be had with both 7057-T7 aluminum frames of stainless steel frames.
Depending upon the model, a Compact II Series pistol may have a
full-sized or shortened frame.
The Pro Carry II
is typically finished in matte black with black checkered grip plates.
It has an extended thumb safety, a high-ride beavertail/grip safety, and
a single recoil spring. 3-dot fixed
low-profile sights are standard, with luminous dots being an option.
The Pro Carry II uses an aluminum frame, but a Stainless Pro Carry II
version is available, with a stainless steel frame.
A Stainless Pro Carry II (LG) is also available; this version is the same
as the standard Stainless Pro Carry II, but the grip plates are gray and
incorporate a Crimson Trace laser sight.
The Pro Carry HD II is considerably heavier than the standard Pro Carry
II and has one different chambering.
Both are finished in matte stainless steel.
The Pro TLEs are
virtually identical to the pistols above, but also have fixed Meprolight Tritium
night combat sights instead of the standard 3-dot sights of the other pistols.
The TLE/RL II also has a beveled magazine well and extended magazine
release and a slide lock, as well as a MIL-STD-1913 rail machined into the dust
cover. A stainless version of the
TLE/RL II also exists, and is identical to the basic TLE/RL II for game
purposes. The Pro II (LG) has gray
grip plates containing a Crimson Trace LaserGrip, but is otherwise like the
standard Pro TLE.
The Compact
Stainless II is perhaps the “deluxe” version, with a matte stainless steel
finish, extended grip safety, extended manual safety and magazine release, and a
beveled magazine well. The frame is
shortened, but still carries the same capacity magazine.
The trigger module is match-grade and can be adjusted by a knowledgeable
owner.

Kimber Covert Series
Notes: The
Covert series is a product of Kimber’s Custom Shop, and is designed for
lightweight carry and snagless drawing in a hurry.
To this end, almost all edges are “melt-treated;” the edges are not just
rounded off, beveled flat, or machined into a curved shape – the metal is
literally melted into a rounded shape that provides superior blending of the
edges so that they will not snag on clothing or a holster.
Covert series pistols otherwise have frames machined from solid billets
of 7075-T7 aluminum and steel slides, fine checkering on the frontstrap and
backstrap as well as the grip plates, and dovetailed Tactical Wedge fixed sights
of the three-dot type; the dots are luminous green.
The slides are matte black; the frames are desert tan KimPro II finish,
with the grip plates having a digital camouflage pattern.
All have LaserGrips at the top of the left grip plate, with the recessed
switch on the grip just below the trigger guard with a separate pressure switch
to actuate the laser. The barrel,
chamber, and trigger group are all match-grade, magazine wells are beveled, and
ejection ports enlarged and flared.
The grip safety has a bump on it to help make sure that it is engaged.
In many ways, the Covert series is similar to the Crimson Carry series,
but the Covert series is more dehorned and even more suited to concealed carry,
and has even more demanding specifications than the Crimson Carry series.
The Ultra Covert
II has a 3-inch barrel, and uses an abbreviated-length grip with a small finger
stop at the bottom front of the grip. The Pro Covert II is the same, but has a
4-inch barrel and a lanyard ring at the heel of the grip. The Custom Covert II
uses a 5-inch barrel with a match-grade bushing, but is otherwise like the Pro
Covert II.

Kimber Crimson Carry Series
Notes: The
Crimson Carry series get their name from the integral LaserGrips that are at the
top of the grip plates, along side the right side of the frame.
Like most Kimber pistols, the Crimson Carry series use match-quality
barrels and triggers. They are new
for 2008. The Crimson Carry series
are designed to be flatter than the typical pistol of the same size, and are
almost totally dehorned. They have
aluminum frames and triggers and loop-type hammers.
The controls include a low-profile slide stop.
The Crimson Carry series uses a two-tone finish, with the frame being
satin-finished aluminum and the slide being matte black steel.
Grips are of checkered rosewood.
The Ultra
Crimson Carry II has an extended manual safety and a high-ride beavertail with
an extended grip safety. The 3-inch
barrel has a bull profile, contributing to both balance and accuracy.
Iron sights are fixed low-profile sights.
The barrel is ramped to aid in reliable feed, and the ejection port is
enlarged to aid in reliable case ejection.
The magazine well is beveled to help make reloads faster.
The Pro Crimson Carry II is similar, but is equipped with a 4-inch barrel
and a slightly-longer grip with a small finger stop at the bottom of the front
of the grip. (There seems to be a bit of contradictory information on Kimber’s
site about the magazine capacity of the Pro Crimson Carry II and Custom Crimson
Carry II; the first page for the Crimson Carry series says eight rounds, while
the pages for the specific members of the series say seven rounds.
I decided to put both.)
The Custom
Crimson Carry II has a full-sized frame, but Kimber says it “is a full-sized
pistol that carries like a compact.”
The Custom Crimson Carry II uses a match-grade frame, bushing, and
chamber as well as the match-grade barrel and trigger; the barrel, however, is
not a bull barrel, though it is a full 5 inches in length.
In addition to the manual safety, the magazine release is also slightly
extended, as is the slide release.
The frame is finished in KimPro II matte black, and the slide has front cocking
serrations as well as the standard rear serrations.
The grip has a small finger rest at the bottom of the front of the grip.

Kimber Custom II Series
Notes: The
Custom II series was touted as a “custom M1911 at a stock price.”
It is a modification of the standard Colt M-1911A1, with a skeletonized
trigger, elongated hammer, rubber handgrips, improved sights, and an enlarged
ejection port. In addition, all
sharp edges have been rounded for an easier draw.
Other alterations include a passive firing pin safety, a chamber loaded
indicator, a finish that aids in lubrication (the KimPro II finish), and a
match-grade barrel, bushing, and trigger group.
Sights vary, but are all dovetailed into the slide and removable.
All are full-sized pistols.
The Custom II
uses a steel frame and slide with a matte black finish.
The slide has cocking serrations on the front and rear.
The barrel bushing itself is stainless steel.
Standard grip plates are of checkered black plastic, but variations
include a version with luminous sight inserts and a version with dark brown
walnut grip plates. Barrel length
is 5 inches. A stainless steel
version, the Stainless II, is also available. The Custom Target II is similar in
construction to the Custom II, but the sights are adjustable and of the 3-dot
type, and the 5-inch barrel is of a higher quality than the rest of the Custom
II series. Again, a stainless
version, the Stainless Target II, is also available.
The Custom TLE
II (Tactical Law Enforcement) is used by at least 20 SWAT/SRT teams in the US.
It is quite similar to the Custom II, but the standard sights are
Meprolight Tritium 3-dot night sights, and they are fixed.
Finish is matte black, with matte black plastic checkered grip plates.
The chamber loaded indicator can be checked by feel as well as sight.
Barrel length is 5 inches.
The Custom TLE II (LG) is essentially identical, but the grip plates are gray
Crimson Trace Lasergrips instead of the standard matte black plain grips.
The TLE/RL II is also essentially identical to TLE II, but has a
MIL-STD-1913 rail machined into the dust cover, and the frontstrap is checkered
as well as the grip plates. The
sights are Meprolight Tritium 3-dot night sights, and the barrel length is 5
inches. Stainless steel versions of
two of these pistols (the Stainless TLE II, Stainless TLE/RL II) are also
available.
The Kimber
Warrior is a civilian/police version of the US Marines’ ICQB (Interim Close
Quarters Battle) pistol, designed for its MEU(SOC) units for their use until the
final decision on what pistol to use is finalized.
It is a full-sized, heavy-caliber pistol using an internal extractor
rather than the external extractor which has become near-standard on Kimber
pistols of late. The barrel is
match-grade, with a full-length recoil spring guide and military-type recoil
spring plug. The pistol uses
Novak-type low-profile sights made by Kimber under license.
The Warrior has an ambidextrous safety catch/slide catch; narrower than
is standard for a 1911-type pistol, it allows the Warrior to sit more
comfortably in the hand. He
beavertail is upswept, cradling the Commander-type loop hammer when the hammer
is cocked. The backstrap is finely
checkered and has a loop for a lanyard.
The magazine well is beveled to ease magazine insertion.
There are some differences between the ICQB and the Warrior: The ICQB
uses a Dawson Precision Rail under the barrel for the attachment of accessories,
while the Warrior uses a TLE/RL rail; The ICQB has a manganese phosphate finish,
while the Warrior uses Kimber’s KimPro finish (a phenolic resin cured with
molybdenum, said to be self-lubricating); the ICQB uses Simonich Gunner Grips in
Coyote Brown, while the Warrior uses tan G10 ridged rubber grips; the Marines
chose Wilson 47D magazines, while the Warrior is sold with standard 1911-type
magazines (it can, however, use both).
A Desert Warrior is also available, with a Dark Earth finish; the Royal
II is also similar, but has a polished deep blue finish.
