Boy is it a beaut! Looks good enough to eat! :D

Time to mothball my Bersa Thunder 380.

The only thing that worries me now is my CZ-75D PCR getting jealous.

if it's anything like mine. Great fit and finish, and very accurate. Slim and flat - easy to carry. Just pay attention to cleaning and oiling the backstrap right above the rubber grips. For some reason i didn't pay too much attention to that area each time I cleaned the gun, and now notice some very slight discoloration which I'm guessing is from my skin oil.

Fred, it is funny you mentioned the back strap problem. I saw a P40 Elite last week in a local gun shop that was discolored new on the shelf, must be a factory problem and not your skin oil.

I have an K9 Elite 98 purchased in 1999, it is the best small pistol I have ever owned. All steel Kahr's are the best, someday there polymer line may be as good.

I have to throw this in...I agree with the Kahr K/MK series being the best "super compact" guns made......lovely.
Shoot well

Rickmeister,
I think you will be very pleased with it. I have a MK9 Elite 98 and am most pleased.

I carry it in a
DelFatti BPB
or a
Milt Sparks PMK

My upgrades are factory night sights, Pearce grip extension, Wolff 22.5 lbs guide rod & spring set, and (pending front strap checkering) skateboard tape on the front strap.

For carry I use
Winchester 127 gr SXT +P+
