I tried a search and didn't come up anything really related to custom work down on Kahrs. Just wondering who works on them, maybe some of you guys could post some examples of yours, etc?

I have a couple of little Kahrs that I would like to have tweaked a little for carry guns.

Cylinder and Slide does them and I believe Ned does some work on them as well.

I have written up several Kahr pistols that Bill Laughridge (Cylinder-Slide.com) has done. Bill and his crew have really become specialist at working the little pistols and have several tricks up their sleeve. I highly recommend their work! Bill still takes phone calls when time allows and even returns calls. If you talk to him, tell him Rob said hello!

I had Drake tweak my CW9 and the results were outstanding! He finished the slide and the slide stop in Melonite, dovetailed the front for a Heinie sight and did a custom carry bevel on the entire assembly.

His work is first rate, his turnaround times are great and he is very intuitive with his suggestions.

He will get my 1911 next and I can't wait to see what he will do for me.

Drake Oldham is his name and he is a member here...look him up.

That's similar to what I'm considering, maybe with some trigger work thrown in.

Here's a link to an earlier post on the little Kahrs:

I work on them also.

I'll try to find some pictures of one which I did and carried for awhile myself. It was and MK9.

Basically, it was sights, action work, reliability work on ramp and extractor, magwell opening, trigger recontouring, slight high cut, dehorn, and stippling of the front strap.

Best,

Ray

I'd like to see the pictures if you find them.
