  • What is "Covert" Model

    I've seen the term on several posts about a "Covert" model of one of the Kahr guns. What are these??? What makes a model "Covert"? Thanks for the help.

    Just shortening the grip to fit a shorter models magazine.

    The slide length remains the same but the grip is shorter. More concealable.

            I have a P9 Covert. It has the same lenght slide as the P9 with the same grip lenght as the PM9. I think it is great. I wish that Kahr would make the K9 in a Covert model. I think that they have made a K40 Covert.

                  today they are, at one time kahr offered a covert models and if I am not mistaken evenin the all steel models.. There is some good covert DIY tutorials on this forum. Alot have done um with zero issues. Buy a cm9 and just be done with it, IMO.

                    Mine came from the factory as a Covert model in about 2003-2004.

                      nice find. The covert is a cool pistol. I think what probalby killed it was the intro of the PM series around that time. Just my two cents. Still a nice find--Different for sure. I would love to see the K9 covert..

                        Yes, I feel very fortunate to have it. I purchased it brand new in 2003-2004. Will never get rid of it. It has about 2700 rounds through it. It is now my summer work attire pocket carry (in a pocket holster of course). In the evening and weekends, I switch to to Glock IWB carry. I occassionally use the P9 Covert for IDPA competition.

                            If you are referring to mine, sorry, i don't have any photos and even if I did, not very good at posting them.
                            Just picture a P9 with the same grip lenght as a PM9 and that would be the only difference. The Covert uses the same 6 round magazine as the PM. So basically it is a PM with a 3.5 " barrel or a P9 with a PM lenght grip. The only difference is the grip lenght. Hope that helped.
