The Kahr K series is a series of semi-automatic pistols manufactured by Kahr Arms. The original weapon in the series, the K9, was introduced in 1995 and features a double action only (DAO) trigger mechanism with a Locked breech recoil operated action. It was intended to address the police backup / off duty and civilian concealed carry markets. With a reputation for both quality of construction and reliability since its introduction〔http://www.kahr.com/PA-1B/review_2.html Ayoob, Massad: "The gun of the decade".〕 the pistol has remained popular with both the police and civilian markets.〔http://www.kahr.com/review_gw_0500.html Garrett, Rob: "The Guns Of Kahr Arms", ''Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement'', May 2000, p. 54–57, p. 65–69.〕 In 1998 it was approved for off duty and backup carry by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) but as of December 2011, the Kahr K9 is no longer authorized by the NYPD as Kahr Arms was not able to increase the trigger pull to the NYPD specifications. Since its introduction the pistol’s design and construction have undergone a number of improvements including slightly increased chamber dimensions and the use of a Teflon electroless nickel composite material for some of the internal moving parts which improved reliability.〔http://www.kahr.com/PA-1B/review_gunsweapons_197.html Spaulding, Dave: "New Kahr K9 9mm", ''Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement'', January 1997, p. 18–22.〕 Options offered with the K9 include Tritium night sights, and wood Hogue grips.〔http://www.kahr.com/PA-1B/review_hg1206.html Berger, Matt: "Kahr Arms K9", ''9mm Handguns 2007 Buyer's Guide'', p. 4–7.〕 The Elite version of the pistol offers a polished feed ramp, polished and deburred slide, beveled magazine well, and enlarged trigger with a smoother action.〔http://www.kahr.com/PA-1_9mm_k.html Kahr web site: 9mm models K Series〕 ==Features== * 100% steel construction (no aluminum alloys or polymer)〔 * * 4140 high carbon steel alloy frame〔 * * 4130 chromoly steel slide〔 * Barrel, recoil lug, and feed ramp machined from one piece of steel〔 * Smooth 8-pound double-action-only trigger〔 * Lack of external safety lever for increased speed and simplicity also offers less chance of snagging on clothes〔 * Patented off-set recoil lug design results in reduced muzzle flip and perceived recoil due to low center line axis.〔 * Ergonometric curved Hogue rubber grips which help dampen recoil〔 * California specification passive firing pin block drop safety which prevents accidental firing if the pistol falls〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kahr K series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
