My Reborn Custom Kahr MK9 - 1911 Style

[xRUSTYx]

This is my MK9. When I got her, she was mechanically sound, but she had definitely seen better days. After a few PM's back and for with Brandon (Mid TN Gunsmith) we decided to add a bit of 1911 character to her. Polishing the flats & media blasting the rounds and top of the slide.

Before: (Wish I had some better pics, but you get the idea)

AND ... The AFTER ... or as I like to say ... The Rebirth of the MK9 (The straight on shots don't do the polished any favors -- too much glare. The lay downs, you can really get a feel for just how shiny she is)

I couldn't have asked for anything better. Shout out to Brandon for a GREAT job!

Good job.

You can almost always make a stainless gun look new.

[Guest BenderBendingRodriguez]

Very classy look to the finished product. A bit retro, too. Don't think I could do the same to my little plastic gun

[MacGyver]

That looks great!

[xRUSTYx]

Thanks guys! Really happy with how she turned out

[dats82]

Wow, that is one sexy gun. Nice pics too

[Oh Shoot]

Beautiful!

My PM9 looks so sucky now.

My PM9 looks so sucky now.

I was thinking the same thing about my PM40.

That is a great looking gun.

[BimmerFreak]

Holy crap! That thing looks amazing!

[xRUSTYx]

Show pics of your lightbox.

Is that black plastic or glass over paper? What material is the back drop?

[daddyo]

Beautiful gun!!

[kb4ns]

Dude... I don't even LIKE Kahr's, and now I want one bad!! Awesome!

[Guest Tony66]

Sweet looking, Great job.

haha ... I can try & get some pics of the lightbox. Its just a cheapy from ebay. We use it daily for my business products. What we figured out ... It really doesn't matter what type of light box you have, assuming you have enough light. Its all a matter of what's INSIDE the lightbox

As for most of our photos ... They are either taken on black plexiglass or sheets of colored carbon fiber

Dude... I don't even LIKE Kahr's, and now I want one bad!! Awesome!

haha ... why don't you like Kahrs? Wasn't a fan of DAO guns, even after owning both. 500 rounds later, and DAO is my favorite type now I'm a huge fan of Kahs & XD's

[Steelharp]

haha ... why don't you like Kahrs?

Just personal; don't care for where the Moon sets, is all. I've had a few, and never kept any of 'em.

[Guest Scramasax]

Excellent job! Another good reason to get a metal gun over plastic. Did he polish the internals as well?

Cheers,

Nope ... Kept everything internal stock ... She was the perfect shooter to begin with and didn't want to do anything that might compromise that

[KahrMan]

Wow. That looks fantastic!

[Guest GunTroll]

Man, I like your photo skills. Wish I could take better photos of my projects like you did right there!

Thanks for the kind words.
