An MK9 Duo Tone Odyssey

[Ikeo74]

It looks like a good buy to me. Cool markings and 1 in 400 has to be special.

oh please

I hear what you're saying, Bawanna; but that's pretty much the difference between most things in life isn't it?

Take Feinstein and Beyonce ... they're both women ... the difference is just the finish.

don't put einstein in a classifcation of a woman, She walks like a man, she talks like a man, she sits on top.She stands to pee,,WTF she is a man. She is the reason today we have MAN CAVES. I bet her husband is in that MAN CAVE 24/7.

Do any of you who been around Kahrs for a while have any idea why there's been no action on either of these Gunbroker listings?

Also, does anybody have any thoughts on how a dealer could end up with nine BNIB 13+ years old guns? He has four of one listing and five of the other available.

I wanted to copy the photos here below for when the gunbroker listings expire, we will still have record of the photos.

The first listing is this one with the nicer rubber grips...

The second gunbroker post you listed is this one with plastic grips...

MK9 Duo Tone

The first gunbroker listing you have there says the slide is 4130 chromoly steel.

RevRay, Buds has a new all stainless MK9 with night sights right now for $694 (cash discount price). This is factory new, so you would get the warranty (not sure about warranty on the gunbroker listings).

So my thought is... For $100 more go with the brand new one with night sights and a warranty! This is a great deal if you want an MK9. Maybe that is why those older MK9's are still around.

The description for the grips on both listings says "wraparound, textured hard nylon"... neither one says rubber?

Descriptions aren't always accurate I find. Those first ones are definitely the preferred rubber. You can see it clearly. The second are the harder less flexible material. Still a good grip but not as nice as the rubber in my feeble opinion.

Large shops do occasionally just find forgotten stock, distributors occasionally do the same thing and a dealer scoops it up and sells them.

New / Old stock isn't uncommon.

Hey guys a little late to the party but new member and new to kahr. I just picked up a used duo tone this weekend. Are these a rare mk? I found this one after my wife picked up a mk9 a few weeks ago at a local shop and i really like the fit and finish. Its going to replace my lc9 so hope its a good decision.

[Bawanna]

Personally I think it was a great decision. We've suddenly just in the last couple weeks heard of these duo tones around here. I never heard of them before.

I sent you a PM a bit ago.

Give us some details. Where did you find it, how much did you pay (if you don't mind my asking), and what's the serial number? As Bawanna said, they have not been heard of much around here, so we're trying to get some kind of sense of how they fit into the current market.

[Crazy Horse]

Found it on a local trader in florida. Serial number starts gc.

[Bawanna]

From what little I know or have found out, there was only a GA series and a GC series so yours is the later version. I don't know any dates for sure when that transition happened.

I do know that the grips apparently don't interchange.

RevRay, every once in a while I have seen distributors have some new old stock on items. A few months ago, before the "banic" my main supplier had 2003 Elite K9s and MK9s in stock. At one time I think there were 25 2003 K9 Elites in stock. Also I am a member of an FFL only forum and have seen dealers closing their doors and selling off their inventory. There was a guy in upstate New York recently who list $100,000 worth of inventory and a lot of it was older items. He was just tired of the game.

[Crazy Horse]

The spent case is dated 2005 if that helps

Wow! One of the two Duo Tones on Gunbroker went for the "Buy It Now" price of $655. It was the one with the GD0002 serial number ... which was the one I had my eye on.
