I'm not really a big fan of most Glocks. I admit they are good, reliable, pistols, I just don't really like them much. However, their smaller models (the 26, 27, and 36) kind of interest me. When I bought my new 442 yesterday I almost ended up spending an extra $175 to pick up a 26 or 27. It feels good in my hand and it really is surprisingly small (I compared it side to side with a subcompact version of the SA XD at the shop and the Glock was about a centimeter shorter). Unusual in such a small gun, the barrel on the 26/27 is 3 1/2" instead of just 3" so you still have a decent sight radius and a bit more velocity out of the round (the .45ACP Glock 36 has a 3 3/4" barrel, and the extra barrel really matters on .45). Weight isn't bad at just around 20oz (just under on the 26/27 and just over on the 36).
I was really impressed.
So it has me thinking.....
I've long been a fan of the Kahr (though I haven't owned one yet). I've been thinking about an PM9 or more likely a P9 Covert. The Glock is a little heavier, but it may be easier to find one used (and thus, may be a bit more affordable for me). I was also thinking about maybe a MK9 (where weight won't be an advantage for Kahr).
Anyway, I was hoping some people here may own both the Kahrs and the Glocks.
I'd love to see side-to-side pics of the Kahr PM9 or MK9 (same size) next to all three Glocks. I'd also love to see side-by-side comparisons of the Kahr P9 Covert or K9 Covert v. the Glocks.
I realize no one person will own all these guns, but hopefully a few members here will have one of the Glocks (the 26/27 or the 36) and one of the Kahrs (PM/MK9, P9/K9 Covert). With a few people all these combos should be filled.
Note:
I only want a size comparison (visual, not numbers). No "Kahrs/Glocks are better", or "don't buy Kahr/Glock because...". I know the background of both the founder/head of Glock and Kahr. I know both are good reliable guns. I don't need this to become that kind of thread.
Note2:
I still love my Taurus PT140 Milennium Pro. I am not considering getting rid of it. It is just that I also want something a tad smaller.
