357sig in a Kahr

[19-3Ben]

I love my Kahr K40. When I say love, I mean LOVE. SUper reliable, accurate, etc...

That being said, some people have had problems with their Kahrs because of the very steep feed ramp angle.
Seems to me that a bottleneck round like 357sig, or even .32Naa could be a hot number for a gun like this. Would reduce some of the feed ramp angle concerns, might aid reliability, and the 357sig is a good round. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's THAT much better than a very hot 9mm, and I actually prefer the .40, but I still feel like I'd like to see Kahr come out with a K357.

Also I think a pm32 in 32NAA would be a NICE companion to the little .380.

Thoughts?

Muzzle flash/blast.............

Ought to be a good combination power wise per size.

Someone - I don't remember who - here said he e-mailed Kahr with that very question and they replied that the cartridge was too "intense" (my word, not theirs) for their current models and one would have to be made especially for it, which they had no plans to do.

That's a pity.
I'm not even a huge fan of 357sig, and I still feel like the 357sig in a k357 would be a rockin' gun.

Honestly, if you can tell me what a .357 sig round gives you besides about 50fps more velocity/way more blast/way more recoil than a 9mm+P+ 124gr JHP at 1300fps+, i'd be very interested to hear it.

What i'm trying to say is that with the right ammo, your 9mm Kahr is -this close- to giving you .357 sig performance to begin with.
