saying from the getgo, that i own a mountain of glocks.....and only recommend all-metal KAHRs (yes, theyre heavy).
....AND that i utterly despise the POLYMER KAHR guns due to excessive reports of poor design of the frame....AND that a few parts in Polymer KAHR guns are GLUED into the frame...yes glued.......

KAHR ARMS is a very small company thats generally unknown, and unheard of,.......having worked in 2 gunshops, i can say that most gun shops do NOT carry KAHR guns.... just the way it is.

PLUS? fewer parts than a GLOCK....yes, even MORE simplex
PLUS? low bore axis like a glock is.....ie little muzzle flip
PLUS? Single-stack 9mm and 40SW micro-guns, ...something which Glock does NOT have in its product line (but should..the darn fools!)
PLUS? Patented Staggered Barrel Locking Lug make little recoil out of KAHRs
PLUS? ungodly accurate for their size.
PLUS? Patented extractor makes non-extraction a near impossibility
MINUS? .....heavy,.......relatively expensive

Everyone who owns a MICRO KAHR (MK9 or MK40) says the same thing, "wow, i cant believe the accuracy out of this little gun, A-MAZING".....heard this dozens of times...
i will never carry a 9mm for self-defense, however, yes, the KAHR all-metal guns are heavy little suckers, but carry a K40 in pocket holster.

KAHR PATENTS::::>
five patents were received on the Kahr pistol design. The most important of the patents is the Staggered Barrel Locking Lug
The second patent made it possible to attach the trigger bar to the trigger with minimum use of space.
The third patent covers the Striker Activation System of the pistol. The use of the "cocking cam" to both actuate the striker and deactivate the safety gives Kahr pistols a uniquely smooth and consistent double-action trigger pull.
The fourth patent explains a method of an Inertia Fired Striker. This patent is less critical in that there are a number of methods explained in the art of how to achieve this function.
The fifth patent is related to Kahr's unique extractor design. The extractor's uniqueness is that its pivoting motion is limited in one direction to make "failures to extract" a near impossibility. (I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPORTANT PATENT).
