Gripe about MK Grips

I cut the bottom straight (perpendicular to the frame), but a bevel would be better. The bottom holes, I used the frame as a jig and just did it. It lined up just fine.

Looked at the link that B4uqzme was kind enough to post. That is some excellent work. How did you get the hole so nicely finished? Did you use a forstner bit or basically a non tapered drill bit for the hole that seats the screw head? Thanks.

Naw, just a regular bit for the hole, and a bigger one to countersink. It drilled pretty cleanly, and with a drill press and lots of drill press experience it's easy to get it half way decent.

Thanks JohnR

Thanks, that saved me a search!

You're welcome...I just remembered the thread because I thought it was a great idea well executed.

Hogue Handall Jr. (inverted)

I like the Hogue Handall Jr on my P9 Covert. But I would still prefer the K9 grip on my Mk9.

Very sharp JohnR, you're a quick one

I got a gripe about the MK grips. Today I shot my K9 and Mk9. The soft grips on the K9 felt so much better than the thin hard plastic ones on the MK9. I just don't understand why Kahr can't put the same grips on the MK pistols as on the K pistols.
Anyone have any comments or information in this regard?

I've done the K9 rubber grips on my MK9 years ago...I'm new here, can't post pics yet

[Redstate]

Welcome, and thanks for your response.

I used the K9 rubber grips but didn't cut them down.
Instead, I ground off part of the back plastic framing of the grips and drilled 2 holes to line up as the stock MK9 grips have them.
I then used a A&G +1 mag spacer, so it uses the 7rd mags.
The result is pretty good, somewhat of an opposite to a Covert model; full size K9 grip, short MK9 slide.

What's the minimum # of posts before I can post pics....20 or 30?

[Redstate]

I have read in other posts that it is 30. I could not find the rules on it.

Ok....counting on
