MK9 G10 Grips

[CPTKILLER]

My Springfield EMP came with them. They are excellent.

Love my EMP 40 but no G10 grips[emoji19]

These G10 grips look awesome, but I fear they won't fit my MK9 duo tone(serial# LTD 1xx). I know your website said they aren't compatible with GA serial numbers. My guess is that my frame is old enough that it won't work.

You can tell by looking at your current grips. If they have a boss on the top screw, like the photo below, they will work fine.

Thanks for the quick reply and the really fast reply to my email. I don't think they'll work. Too bad.

Thank you very much Alfonse. You are the man. I'm looking forward to installing them and adding even more class to this sweet steel beauty.

I was ready to order these tonight but then saw the prohibition against the GA- series MK9s. I know mine is circa 1998, so I fear it is one of those (I can't check it at the moment, as it's locked up at my office).

Wondering if there is a way for someone handy with a dremel to retro-fit these to fit?

Damn, I was really hoping to make this work....

It isn't a "prohibition," we like GA frames too!

The grips on the GA are thicker, the same as the K series grips. The change Kahr made allowed them to narrow the grips but it took adding the boss to give the screw material to hold onto. If you grind the boss off, the screw will push right through the grip.

You might be able to find, or make, a wafer head type of screw, grind off the boss, and grind relief into the backside where you could epoxy in a washer to the back of the grip or something to give the screw something to tighten against. It would take checking that the head of the screw wouldn't be sticking up above the surface of the grip, hence the wafer head.

Thanks for your quick response. Much appreciated.

Okay, it sounds like this may be a more difficult process than I'd expected. Bummer....

Hallelujah! Checked my MK9 this morning, and was thrilled to find it's a series GC. G10 grips are already ordered and on the way!

Does anyone know if Lakeline is going out of business? I find it surpising that they do not have MK9 grips available, being that they are the manufacturer? Really want to order some, along with a mag sleeve and follower.

Sorry, actually Al from LL just contacted me. More are being made. Yay!

[Alfonse]

MK grips, actually both MK and K series grips aren't very fast sellers for us. I've found a source for some of the colored layers in the G10, so have been working on that. They aren't our highest priority, but I will get them done. I'm a fan of the metal Kahrs.

Thanks,
Al
