The Kahr CT9 9mm pistol is a full-size, value-priced carry and range gun with a 4-inch barrel (Kahr part no. CT9093). Kahr Arms builds it with a black polymer frame and a serrated matte stainless steel slide, and it has no manual safety, so the trigger-cocking double-action-only operation and passive striker block do the work. Eight rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber make for a slim profile with a longer sight radius than Kahr’s compact models. It suits concealed carry, home defense and training days alike.
