The velvety stuff on the grip is a Brooks Tactical AGRIP. Super-thin (you can read the Kahr logo through it), grippy without being tacky, and quite comfortable. It was on the gun when I got it, and I don't intend to remove it.
642 and 1911 for size comparison. The PM9 is the same height as the 642, about an inch shorter, and 3/8" thinner. Weight is comparable. You could carry the 642 AND the PM9 and still not be up to the weight of a steel 1911A1.
Will the PM9 replace the 642 for carry? Not 100% of the time, but there will certainly be times it's more appropriate!
That’s a great little gun you’ve got there. Years ago I had a MK40 that I still regret selling. It was the all steel version that would feel like a brick compared to yours. The only thing that I didn’t like about mine was the stout recoil that would shake the grips screws loose every 15 or 20 rounds. Finally had to fix that with locktite.
