Just wondering what the experience has been here among you folks with Kahr handguns. I've seen some of them, even shot a couple, and they seem very solid, but do not have a truly "efficient" trigger like my glock. Advantage is in size with a truly small package that is much more solid and reliable than the cheaper models.

Thanks in advance for your help.

My wife used to have a Kahr PM9. It was very concealable and light. It shot very well but the grip was a bit small for my hands. The trigger was horrible compared to the other guns that I own. LONG double action pull that had probably 8 or 9 pounds of pull throughout it's travel. My wife wanted something smaller with a lighter trigger, so she now packs a Kel-Tec P32. For what it's worth, it is an excellent concealable gun that is a bit too big for pocket carry if you can get used to the trigger.

A few years back I had a PM9. I loved that little gun. The trigger travel wasn't the greatest but it was very concealable. I sold it to a friend when I picked up a S&W 3913, but had I not replaced it with the Smith, I'd still have it in my possession.

I have shot a friends Kahr 9mm and it handled real well, I just didn't care for the trigger pull.

It may not mater to you, but Kahr Arms is a Unification Church (Moonies) operation. Officially, it is owned by Sun Myung Moon's son Kook Jin "Justin" Moon.

That matters to me.

I've got the mk9. I enjoy it but the .380 kel tec is easier to conceal so it's pretty much the exclusive carry piece. If I could only have one I'd say kel tec.

I don't like the triggers, or the Moonie connection... I've tried to like them, had 3... they're gone...

I saw some go through a pistol class without problems AFAIK.

I like them and they seem well made albeit expensive. I was going to purchase one a while back but steered clear when I tried out the trigger pull. After more experience shooting and owning a revolver I'm sure the trigger pull wasn't as "bad" as I thought it was. I say this because I didn't give it a fair shake because it didn't have the trigger pull of a custom 1911, and the design deserves more consideration than that.
