I have a Kel-Tek,which is similar to the Kahr,and came out around the same time. IIRC,both were rated to be equal in quality at the time,and I bought the Kel-Tech primarily because I found it for sale at a better price than the 9mm Kahr. If I had found a Kahr cheaper,I would have bought the Kahr.
I've been very happy with my Kel-Tech even though I only carry it during warm weather (easier to conceal) when I go to town. Very accurate little pistol with no problems.
Both are single-action only pistols and that makes them very safe to carry in pockets as well as very fast to fire when you want to fire because there is no safety to hang up on something or to disengage when you need to shoot. Just point and click.
Not sure how much helps you,though.
BTW,I wouldn't buy the 40 caliber version of either,though. Too much muzzle blast and recoil,making follow up shots hard to shoot accurately. Stick with the 9mm and you will be ok.
At the range, I stick in ear plugs and put on ear protectors over them.
EXCELLENT idea,and I encourage everyone to do it. Even filters from cigarettes are better than nothing.
Unfortunately,it is too late for me. The word I use more than any other when talking is "Huh?"
Yes,the VA gave me a hearing aid a couple of years ago. A very good one. Maybe even too good because suddenly I was hearing stuff I haven't heard in decades,including people walking up behind me. The problem was they were suddenly walking so "loud" they were scaring the hell out of me.
I quit wearing it for that reason,as well as the personal observation that I am probably better off not hearing most of the crap people say to me anyhow.
