I own two, and know two others with one apiece. Mine are CW40 and P380. One guy has the PM9, and the other had the P45.
The guy with the P45 sent it back to Kahr multiple times, and the firing pin issue was never fixed. It wouldn't always fire the round.
The guy with the PM9 has the same problems I've had with my two--jamming. The first round often gets stuck when chambering. This is just plain annoying. I was originally told that with Kahrs, you have to start with the slide back, and then release it with the slide stop lever. This cut down the frequency, but it still happens on occasion. All three jam several times/100 when shooting, also. It's multiple reasons, too... Sometimes it simply will not fully chamber the round. Other times, the empty case gets stuck exiting. This is in addition to the fact that you have to test all different types of ammo to see what works and what doesn't. I have not found any that work flawlessly in either Kahr, while some only give a few problems per 100 rounds. Several jam every stinking time.
I don't necessarily blame Kahr for this issue, and I don't intend on making any sort of blanket statement that Kahrs are not worth it. What I'm saying is that they are inferior to Glocks in reliability; and in my personal experience, by a highly dramatic margin. My comment applies--ONLY buy a Kahr if you find yourself leaving the G27 at home when you would like to carry, but find it to be too big. Kahrs (and perhaps all tiny guns?) are picky little buggers, and a headache in my experience (which includes Kel-Tecs and the Micro Eagle). If you can carry the G27 everywhere you want to carry it, then skip the Kahr.
I'll be trading or selling the Kahr CW40 for whatever I can get, and will be using those funds to buy another Glock. The P380 was a gift that I cannot bring myself to sell or trade.
