    What is wrong with rifles today?

    We need to be careful as we undertake to paint with broad brushes... ...has the Chevy/Ford debate taught us nothing? Espousing widely held beliefs, or worse yet, simply parroting the opinions of singular dubious sources can leave one with a smidgen of egg on one's face. The most...

    Ruger mini 14 vs AR15 accuracy challenge. Calling all Ruger Mini14 shooters

    I am interested in seeing how this plays out.... I spent months and $$$$ on modifications of my mini including all flavors of bedding, custom carbon stocks, floating, and on and on... That piece of scrap-iron couldn't hold to a 4 1/2" circle at 50m to save itself.

    Tell me about the S&W Model 39

    I could not stomach all of the failure to feed/failure to cleanly extract problems that my 39 experienced at the range, nor would I ever entrust its performance to defending my family if called upon... therefore it was traded in on a Colt Officer's ACP. (The ACP has kept a smile on my face for...

    Thank you soldiers!!!

    I retired from the army in '92. I felt grateful and honored to be able to don that uniform every day of my service. I wish that the body had allowed me to continue to serve a little longer, as a tribute to the many that had laid down their lives that we might continue to enjoy the...

    Kahr CW45 information

    I was utterly amazed at the incredible accuracy of these little guns. I spent a couple weeks prepping for my CCW certification shoot, which is at 21 ft in our county in CA, three magazines worth would all be contained within a single 1 3/4" hole at that range. One note... after a lot of...

    I want reviews of Kahr PM40

    Every Kahr that I've shot has had it's own personality. My absolute favorite is the P45... trigger is like butter, it puts three clips of ammo into an inch and 3/4 at 21 feet, never a hick-up, 19 ounces, and it has LESS felt recoil than my all stainless Officer's ACP. (I have huge hands, and so...

    small .45

    The only issue that my stainless Officer's ACP has is with very hot loads. It runs 100% with factory charges. I've never had a problem with the Kahr P45.

    Question for those with CHL/CWP's

    I can empathize with your feelings... It took everything that I had in me to submit to registering my AR as an "assault weapon" in California a few years back. I was repulsed by the very thought of having to jump through administrative hoops and place myself on a governmental list just to be...

    Gun Shows

    My good buys have come from private individuals that bought a table to sell only one or two guns that they bought but found that they never used them. An example was a new Ruger Red Label O/U 12 ga. for $650... the guy was asking $1100 and sat there two days with the gun. At the close of the...

    What is the most unreliable semi auto you have shot ?

    The worst for feeding was the S&W Mod 39. I gave the company the benefit of the doubt though, and tried the 645 when it came out... halfway through the second magazine, it was as if the gun exploded in my hands. A spent case went one direction, the front site went another, and the...

    Kahr P45

    As with most handguns, once you've decided on a flavor... a little patience usually brings opportunity your way. A Diamond Black P9 with Novaks will be delivered here on Thursday that I picked up for $565.

    New to me kahr k9!

    Good job! I too am a Kahr-nut, currently wringing out three flavors... P9, P45, and CW40.

    thinest and smallest CC pistol in 9mm or 40SW?

    O/J if you have occasion to head south a bit, the indoor range near here has all Kahr flavors in stock to rent. That's where I learned that I couldn't live without them! We're 180 miles south of the border in Chico.

    Kahr P45

    I'm sold on the guns. Felt recoil is the same or a little less in the P45 than in my all-stainless Officer's ACP, (perhaps due to the lower barrel height?) and I have yet to experience a FTF.

    CCW Gun Choice

    Don't let stories parroted by web trolls that have never owned or fired these guns spook you away from the Kahrs. Go to a range and rent the three firearms that you've narrowed your choice down to. You have to be comfortable with your own selection. I'm not exactly sure just how many rounds...

    for an everyday, most of the year ccw pistol...

    I have the stainless Officer's ACP and love everything about it... except the weight. So, there's a Kahr P45 to fill that niche. Get to a range and rent one to try it for yourself.

    How do Colt Mustang .380's compare?

    If you invest the time and money that one does in a race gun, then Colt's Mustang could be a sweetheart. But it was it's notorious FTF trait that was the reason that it wasn't a hit when introduced. I don't remember a single one of the guns purchased new in our shop in the 80's that didn't...

    Have you ever used your sidearm in self defense?

    An incident just occurred that highlights how useless we are without a firearm... I retired from working a narcotics detection dog as a federal LEO a few years ago, and have since returned to school to pick up a medical license. Returning from campus along a farming road, four miles from...

    Why not CCW a Kahr

    My hat is off to all of you that are able to give a 'down to the bullet' accounting of the rounds put through each of your weapons! That is amazing... (I on the other hand have never been able to keep a diary of my own life, much less the life history of the guns that fill my safe.) So, I...

    Have you ever used your sidearm in self defense?

    I was in Oakland, CA to be inducted into the service as 'Nam was winding down. Being that it was the last night of my freedom, I made the mistake of thinking that it might be nice to take a stroll around the city. ( 9pm in the evening ) I had just about completed a multiple-block circle...
