I had a Kahr E-9 but I sold it!:banghead: I have owned and sold many guns in my time but the Kahr was the biggest mistake. I should never have sold it and I knew it at the time but I did it anyway. I wish I had it back because it was a great gun.
I have checked out the Taurus guns but they just seem to do it for me. They don't look very well made and feel cheap.
If you are wondering, the reason the E-9 is less expensive than the K-9 is that they have made minor cost cutting production changes. The front sight is plastic and is not pinned like the K-9 and the finish is not as nice as the K-9. If the trigger feels good now, it will only get much better with use. Mine was decent for a while but after I broke it in, it was glass smooth and felt much lighter. Make sure to oil the trigger after break in for best results.
If you can get either gun, I would go with the Kahr. The Taurus has a bad rep for quality that isn't worth the risk when a better pistol on offer.
