A Kahr is not worth the price and they are bad about putting pistols on the market that have not had the bugs worked out. I got a K9 that choked, basically just shut down, after 40 rounds-----extrator, mag release spring, etc-----on factory ammo.

Okay. So what about the rest of the story? You know...how it ends up with you having a good gun. Every company has duds. A fair review is in regard to percentages, assuming there is a valid survey.
Personally, I didn't find another gun in as big a caliber that was as concealable while decent looking too. The price seemed okay to me. Things are too expensive when you can't afford them. I give some priority to buying American products when competitive. All American products are pricey, because everyone wants to make $30 an hour but pay others $5. They also have to insure against lawsuits, that we are so are prone to filing.
I am not comfortable buying used guns. I believe I am generally in a better position to have one made right if I buy it new.
I could say that a $2000 1911 isn't worth the price, but I'll bet that would be a gun that could be loved. People buy premium products because they can. Having the right gun is pretty darned important, once you get past the better-than-none stage.
