I took both the XDS or Kahr CT9 to the range today.
I don't need both & I'm trying to trim the safe (again).
3 times previous I've tried to pick one to sell but I like them both & just couldn't.
I was determined today to decide, hoping that shooting them one more time would help.
No help. They both shot the same in my hands.
I decided the Kahr CT9 would be sold first so the Springfield Armory XD-S Mod 2 3.3" barrel got a reprieve.
It could be next since more need trimmed.
A friend told me to just sell both since I have others, but I couldn't handle that today.
I will pick another safe dweller to go head-to-head with the XDS to find the next 9mm to be trimmed after the Kahr sells.
Kahr CT9 pros:
- Prefer the DAO w/o safety
- feels perfect in the hand
XDS pros:
- front Red fiber optic front sight preferred
- extra round capacity (9 rd)
- smaller mag (7 rd) available when needing a less profile when carrying
- holster I'm using allows grip to be a tad higher above belt
A pic of range time today.
