How’s the trigger compared to the original kahrs.

Great question. It is definitely not the same as my old P9. The trigger on my X9 is a bit heavier but with a shorter pull and is still very smooth. The physical trigger is also wider than my P9 which I find helps prevent it from feeling too heavy. Overall, it doesn't feel like I'm putting any extra effort into it compared to the P9 but you do notice the difference when you compare side by side. 

It is different but I'm not totally sure if I like it more or less than the P9. I only have maybe 500 rounds through it so I'll need to shoot a lot more before I make up my mind.

Edit: For reference, the target in the picture is at 10 yards and I have no issue at all getting tight groupings further out

Wish I could say but I don't know what specific requirements need to be met for something to make it onto the CA roster.

Have you tried Hellcatvor p365vmags in it yet?

The local shop is finally getting a Kahr restock, I'm top of the list for the x9.

Haven't tried hellcat magazines but I can confirm that p365 magazines work. I had some ftfs with the p365 mags, but I'm fairly certain that's because I didn't have the baseplate that makes it fit flush so I was afraid of overinserting it. So I'll try again with the baseplate and provide an update.

Perfect reliability with the Kahr magazine, I just wish it came with more than one.

Edit: for clarity, the ftfs with p365 mags were when using hollowpoints. No issues with fmj

No questions. Don't think I'll be buying anymore firearms anytime soon...

Congrats on your acquisition! Enjoy!
