Kahr mishandled the whole thing.
Even people who are purchasing the firearms are not aware of it.
Kahr's website has new pictures of the new tapered design accompanied by the old specs, and their website is presenting old info - both on the appearance and specs of guns that consumers will not get if they order. I mean what you order will be different from what is presented on their website.
Yes - the holster makers are scrambling. They didn't get any advance notice.
What's worse is that Kahr's own parts department doesn't seem to have been prepared in an way for it either.
They didn't make a change in the nomenclature, but the parts are different - there are different recoil springs now, but there isn't a system in place to identify which springs any particular customer is ordering and no way to get them the right springs.
You have to count the coils - compare your old spring with the new replacement that you receive to ensure that they sent you the part that you needed.
And that could go for holsters also, Kahr doesn't seem to be putting out any info on it so it would be up the holster makers to somehow designate their product as to which Kahr design a particular holster was designed to fit. Right now, you could purchase a Kahr PM9, get the new design, purchase a holster specifically designed for the Kahr PM9, and not have it fit or work so well because it really was designed for "the other" Kahr PM9.
It's a mess right now - really mishandled.
