The Kahr P9 is a slim single-stack polymer pistol with a distinctive DAO trigger that uses a cam-driven striker mechanism for a smooth long-pull consistent trigger. Designed for concealed carry, Kahr pioneered the slim single-stack polymer format that many competitors have since adopted. The trigger design has no external manual safety and relies entirely on the long trigger stroke for safety.
