Purchased a P9 frame to customize

Can't hide money!!!!!!

Must be able too. I bring home money all the time and my wife tells me we don't have any. What do ya suppose is up with that?
Sometimes if I'm a really good boy, she'll give me like 100 or 150 for a gunshow. I ask ya, what can a guy do with 150 bucks at a gun show but go nuts over stuff he can't have?????? I got six each of all the little stuff.
Still a dang pretty motorcycle, I don't care who you are, that's pretty.

v-rod, I had a 105th street glid (#243). Great bike also. Now own a 2010 CVO streetglide, even better bike.

oh and the guns are nice to:33:

Sweet, My dad had an all black Street Glide I loved it, and my girl loved riding on the back of it. He sold it and went crazy buying, two Bourget Choppers, and 2 Big Bear Choppers. Both are an absolute blast to ride.

Both Big Bears


Back on topic...
Are there any differences between the CW9 Frame and the P9 Frame? or are all differences in the slide assy?

yes there are dimensional differents,Look at the comparision chart on the kahr web site.

[Copper&Black]

Thanks for the reply but all I see is a difference of a tenth of an inch, and that difference is most likely the portion of the side that extends past the frame....

I think I will be going to the P9 anyways, the slide seems to have a better fit and finish, and I want night sights which the CW doesn't offer.

You might try to find a PM 40 you could shoot just for trial. I think the 40 will indeed be a little beast after the chop. Course it's not something you'll play with at the range alot but still gotta be maneagable. Why dont ya just get a PM9 for a stable mate so your CW isn't lonely? I know, I know it's the money isn't it, everything in the world has to involve money. Hmmm, I don't have an answer to my own question. I think I need councilling. Maybe electro shock therapy to get me away from my addiction to this site which I enjoy immensely, enough that I'm here when I should be working. WORK!

I ABSOUTELY HATE MONEY,probable bc i have none lol.

Copper&Black: nice driveway. Oh, and the bikes are cool too.

Bawanna45cal: trial-shoot a PM40 without earplugs, about the same effect
but cheaper than electroshock therapy.

jbaker: I am a Money Aversion Therapist, next time you run into some, send me
half. It will help you take the pressure off, and you will still have a little cash to buy
lead, powder, etc. (essentials).

I just picked up the P9 frame at my FFL Dealer today. So far there seems to be a couple good points and bad points. I think it might be from a factory blem. I notice there is a small amount of polymer missing just below the embedded rails at the front left. I don't think this will hurt the guns function at all and will be completely hidden from view when assembled. The only other thing it needs is a new slide stop spring, along with a solid cleaning and lubing after all work is done it should be a great performer.


P9, PM9, P380




Here is the portion lacking polymer... Hey for around 150 what can you do...

[a.squibload]

What the ??? You made me open mine to look. Casting defect?
(Are polymer frames cast? More like injection-molded?)
If you hadn't shown us nobody but you would know! Only issue I can think of
would be strength, and it looks like the rail has an angle going down from there.
Without further research my instinct would be to fill it in with JB Weld,
let it settle in real smooth, and leave it somewhere slightly more than warm.
Don't wanna melt the rest of the frame, but heat helps cure epoxy.
And the color would be just about right.
For $150, shoot it like you stole it!

Disclaimer: My technical knowledge is at a sufficient level to ensure that I point the
pistol in the right direction most of the time.
Disclaimer: most of my JB Weld experience is due to Jeep ownership.

I was able to find a stainless slide assy on gunbroker for a decent price so it appears my plans have changed a bit. Total price was far less than a used P9. I've assemble it and everything seems to be functioning beautifully and chambers a round perfectly. Here is a picture of it assembled after removing the standard sights and the very beginning of a polish job. After a few hours of work I have the slide to nearly a mirror finish and will update the finished pictures tomorrow. Now I need to order some night sights, or I might just send it into Kahr to get them installed.

Lookin sweet!

[Copper&Black]

Almost there, need to hit it a little tomorrow for it to be perfect. I'll take some good pics.

[paintwerk]

If you havent done so already. I recommend detail stripping the slide for a good cleaning. While you have it apart, there are quite a few small parts that could benefit from a good polish as well.

Are you still going to chop the frame?

[jocko]

I did no tknow that kahr sold only the lower frames for their guns. Look for a stamped U on the front of the trigger guard, if one is there, it is a refurbished fame, if not, then it should be factory. I don't think that missing polymer will hurt one thing but also that would have never passed kahr inspection either. Does this frame come with any warranty from the dealer???

Those front slide rails are all one peace inbedded in the polymer, so I would think you should be fine...

[Copper&Black]

I very much plan on doing a detailed strip as soon as I'm done polishing today. Everything will be cleaned and inspected well before any rounds start flying. About the chop, I am still debating. With my previous plan I would have had it as an interchangeable frame, one covert, one full size had I bought a complete gun. However now that it is a one complete P9 with no other frame, I might keep it full size. What internal parts other then the barrel, feed ramps etc, do you think should get a polishing?

Jocko there is no U stamp on the trigger guard, and it was purchased from a gun dealer on Gunbroker. I agree with you that I don't think the missing polymer will hurt anything. I would imagine that it was a whole gun at one point and got split up. No warranty, As Is, but for 150 I think I did alright.

[Copper&Black]

Here is what came with the slide assy. So I have some decent spare parts...
