Birdsong Black T K9

[RevRay]

I'm waiting for my MK9 I bought a couple of months ago to come back from Birdsong. I sent it to them a couple of weeks ago, but will probably have to wait another 4-6 weeks before it comes back. I'll post pics when it does.

BTW, Gunmut, did you ever end up buying the K9 you first mentioned in this thread?

Checking on the Wayback Machine, the K9 Birdsong Black-T finish was listed as a new model in 1997 and went for about $126 more than the standard matte black K9: http://web.archive.org/web/199706241...m/pistols.html
The model was listed again in 1998, but was gone in 1999.

I'm more amused that someone remembers "The Wayback Machine". LOL

I did; took it to the range a few times to check it out and it runs just fine. I have two other K9s (if one is good to have two more can't be a bad thing) that I shoot more often; but my Black-T is a favorite.

My 21 cents oin this. I would be more impressed if the fella told me it had a 1000 flawless rounds thorugh it and it has set on the nite stand for many years. One mag, if u think aobut it means nadda. the gun cannot be broken in or should I say smoothed out so much like kahrs do with rounds down range.

Wear on the hood I would say is perfecxtly normal. That birdsong finsih is not as tuff as the DLC fnish of todays kahrs,

I think we tend to put way way to uch ermphasis on how many rounds a gun has had through it. My bet is that 90% of gun onwers are doing damn good to shoot a 1000 rounds out of most of their center fire guns, (not talking about this forum either). Just that most people buy a semi or wheel gun, shoot it to see if they like it and then it sits, and sits and sits. U can't shoot out a kahr. I would approach th]is old K9 as I would if I justbought a new kahr. I would do the full prepp, and lube thing. Its a new gun tha thas been sitting, so that doesn't make it ready to go..

Speaking of putting to much emphasis on the number of rounds through it, when are you going to start shooting that worn out PMJ9 of yours again? You've been stuck at 32 thousand rounds since as far back as I can remember, you old reprobate.

If you look at our favorite Kahr's picture thread, the last entry is birdsong finish. One of 400 made in 2000. Put on nuclear sub stuff to corrosion proof parts, and help some parts slide easier without lubrication. Also in my avatar.
