I stumbled upon a Youtube video of a reviewer stating that a Kahr magazine must be inserted AFTER racking the slide back to chamber a round.
For instance to chamber the first round:
Glock: rack slide, shoot
Kahr: remove mag (if inserted), lock slide back, insert mag, release slide, shoot

Apparently the Kahr instructions state that you need to chamber the gun as above. This would involve some extra steps in a self defense reload/clearing a jam situation, and practically removes the ability to carry unchambered if I chose that method of carry for whatever reason. I have never shot a Kahr, and I have never heard of this issue which I find odd that I have never heard of it. This would be a definite deal breaker as I was considering a Kahr for concealed carry. In fact I don't understand why anyone would want a gun with these limitations and I feel that I must be mistaken or maybe I am missing something?
