  • An MK9 Duo Tone Odyssey

    I saw this on Armslist and thought I would post it here ...

    http://www.armslist.com/posts/127415...ale--kahr-mk-9

    The guy seems pretty firm about not wanting to entertain a sale, but maybe somebody here on the forum has an extra Glock they don't need and might want to trade.

    Man I can't wait until I get my permit. I don't want to be spending all kinds of money on a bunch of different guns and have Connecticut tell me my eye twitches the wrong way or something.

    actually if one has a G19, this would bne a very fair trade, more than fair for the karh buyer IMO.
    . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

      Before today I had never seen or heard of one of these, and in one day I discover two of them. Here's another one that just showed up on Armslist ... only this one is for sale.

        New to me also, never heard or knew they even sold a duo tone. Usually the other way around too, a stainless slide on a black frame.

            My first post here was about a MK9 two tone I had found online, guess its going on 3 years now that I posted about it and then went ahead and bought it then. Because of that one I have bought 2 more MK9s and a CM9. Sold one MK to buy a S&W M&P9c, so now its just the two tone an Elite and the CM.

            The M&P9c might see daylight once a month, hard to beat how easy these Kahrs are to carry.

            By the way, my two tone was $400 with box and 2 mags, looked new at the time.

              I got the itch for a MK9 Elite real bad, but that two-tone doesn't do anything for me. I have the g26 to trade the one seller, and the $600 seems reasonable for the other.

              I'll have to keep looking.

                I asked my wife, do you have a glock 19, 19c 26 etc etc. To trade for this awesome kahr mk9?
                She replied
                I have a vagina, are you interested in that.
                I am, in fact, interested in that.
                Then we both laughed.
                Too bad she doesnt really have a glock to trade.

                    The following is something I found on another forum from a Google search I did. I can't speak to it's truthfulness, but the post I read said that the info came from the Kahr website at the time. The serial number info does match with the KahrTalk sticky thread (http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.p...ht=kahr+serial) which indicates that Kahr did run a limited edition of of an MK9 with serial numbers starting with LKD1xx in August 2001.

                    "Kahr Arms has started shipping the Limited Edition Kahr MK9 with a Duo Tone finish. This MK9 features a matte stainless steel frame and on ordnance steel (4130 chrome moly) slide plated with the exceptional Black-T® finish by Walter Birdsong. This limited Edition run will consist of 400 units with the serial numbers LTD 001 through LTD 400. Black-T® is a proprietary black coating developed to add lubricity as well as greatly increasing corrosion properties of the base metal. It exceeds the ATSM (American Standard Materials) 177 specifications for salt water corrosion resistance by more than 4000%. It is the only permissible coating used on many components on nuclear submarines and is the coating of choice by the elite FBI hostage rescue team."

                      If I could go out and buy another GL19 I'd trade him mine. But I would need a replacement carry gun, don't wanna give that up right now with the uncertainty of finding another.

                        I remember hearing that Kahr did in fact use a Black T Birdsong finish, I didn't know it was a two tone deal. Maybe they did some all Black T as well. I don't know.

                        I have a Hi Power that I'd love to send off to Birdsong one of these days. Guys here have had a couple things done and it's a very nice very durable finish.

                          There are at least 3 of these two-tone MK9s for sale right now, plus one all black "elite 2000." None have the serial number visible. I wonder how many of these are user created two-tones? There are more of these rare two-tones listed than all stainless MK9s listed!

                            It is odd o doubt about that. Ihave never seen a total dlc MK9 from the factory,but we seem to be learnin sumpin new every day here to..

                            someone wrte and actualy stated that they have proof that diane einsteinnand Pegosia are actually women, just disguised as B!tchs though...

                              If it's from the factory the lable should say "Duo-Tone" the LTD's have a nice rubber grip like the ones on the K's.

                              Think i'll give the Mother Ship a call and see how much info I can get out of them and post it.
