A fellow shooter in southern Louisiana is a devotee of RDS on a carry gun. We both have Delta Points on our primary M&P 9's (his a FS and mine a 9c) which we carry all of the time. We also both have PM9's which we carry either as BUG's or, on occasion, as primary our CCW. I have a P380 which I also carry as a BUG.

We've been kicking the can down the road on a Delta Point on the PM9 for a while and he finally did it. You can see pictures and his explanations here: http://www.bayoushooter.com/forums/s...highlight=KAHR

I want to take a different approach and create a Delta Point mount that will fit the PM9 rear sight dovetail but haven't put a real effort into it yet. I want to take the same approach on my P380.

As an aside, my Crossbreed IWB's fit my M&P / Delta Point without modification. I believe that my Crossbreed IWB's for my PM9 and P380 will need minor modifications. My pocket holsters for these guns will also need minor modifications (DeSantis Superfly and Recluse holsters).

I say give it a shot. But don't expect an easily concealable weapon to emerge. For me there are far better platforms for a red dot. Putting one on the Kahr destroys its primary virtue, concealability. But to each this/her own.

Based on my experience with my M&P with RDS, I expect that a Kahr in an IWB holster will be no more difficult to conceal or access. A Kahr in a pocket holster will possibly be a different story, not so much from a concealment standpoint but from an unencumbered draw from a front pocket with the additional height from the DeltaPoint.
