Dang TAM.

All I have to say is "ditto"

My Kahr is easily considered one of the "higher end" pistols that Kahr makes. I carry it 90% of the time and I personally think the 9mm is enough for what I need it for. I also have the Kahr 380 for my lighter carry instances, but if I can get away with it, why not carry the 9mm.

The only issues with my 9mm was when my wife tried to shoot it. She is 5 foot nothing, and weighs 100lbs, and was limp wristing the pistol. In the hands of a novice shooter I could see there being a problem, and taking into account TAM's exhaustive :) post, a less than solid grip could make the tight spring problem be a bit more magnified.

I purchased a 38 special revolver for my wife and have no "feeding problems" since!

I have the Kahr MK9 Elite with checkered wood grips. I have had it for 13 years, thousands of rounds through it, and have had zero problems.

Likes:

Slim and trim
All metal frame and slide make a small gun "comfortable" to shoot
Wood grips make the pistol fit in your hand better
Easy to conceal
Fit and finish are great

Dislikes:

Pistol was REALLY tight from the factory
Racking the slide even after it is broken in is tight

That being said, to get the pistol THAT small, you have to have a really stiff spring. I can get over that.

I have three Kahrs and have never had an issue with any of them. All of them are non polymer as I don't think you should make guns out of "tupperwear" in the first place!
