Kahr with new mag grip extension

[PHM]

I had to get these mag grip extensions, I just couldn't stand the way the gun felt in my hand with the short magazine, the extended magazine feels good, but it's a bit awkward looking, the new pearce grip looks and feels great.

"To be or...not...to be" That is the question!.

To be short and stubby, and uncomfortable to grip,
not pleasing to the hand when shooting, unable to go deep......
And easy to conceal.....when in need.
Or to be generous in size, like a voluptuous lady, be pleasing to the eye
and be comfortable to touch, never able to get your fill, "bullseye!!
What is thy purpose?........

Well, theatrics aside, I have gone through this many times. Is this just a tool? Mission oriented?
What do I want?
Concealment or comfort. That is the question. Enjoy your mind trek.....Decisions, decisions.

Nice! Does it replace the floor plate of the magazine, or just clip on top of it?

I have never put Aesthetics on the list of reason I buy a gun, if that were the case I wouldn't be a proud Glock fan.

The mag grip does absolutely nothing to take away the concealability of the gun, I use it primarily as a pocket gun and it works great with slacks or shorts and cargo pants. The grip does however add much greater control of the gun when you need to fire it.

If the grip took away from the concealability of the gun, I would agree with you but it does not.

It replaces the floor plate, it literally take 2 minutes to replace and fits perfectly. For under 10 bucks for 2 grips, you can't go wrong.

I myself carry a Glock. I have not seen a PM9, other than in pictures.
If it does not detract from the ability to conceal, then no problem. My thoughts were that if you add length to the grip, (as the grip length and not the barrel length is what could make concealment difficult), then it would make the firearm more difficult to conceal. That's the reason why the Glock 26/27 have a short grip, to enhance concealment ability.
If you can add and not lose the ability to conceal, then again, that's a winner.

Looks good. I am tempted to check those out, and probably will someday if I get some extra mags. But for me, the one thing that does change concealability and comfort is the length of grip. Whether it's IWB or pocket, any additional length in grip is going make at least some difference...which is why they design it for only 2 fingers. For my PM9, I put on a Handall Jr. (upside down) which really enhanced the grip feel...you get used to the pinky-free grip after a few times at the range. It's all a matter of preference and what you can live with daily. Congrats on a GREAT carry weapon.

I carry a glock 27 too and I have the +2 extension on it, I honestly don't find any difference in concealment ability with my IWB or OWB and I wear fairly tight t-shirts with it all the time.

for under 10 bucks, I would try one out, I have been carrying in my pocket holster since I got it and I really feel no difference in the concealability, and in the IWB holster there is absolutely no perceptible difference; honestly.
