I love Kahr's K series and think they are among the best carry guns ever made.
I actually have my K40 on my belt as I write this. here's the thing with the K series. they handle, balance, and shoot like a large pistol, but they conceal like a small pistol.
Recoil even with the .40cal, is not bad (the weight really soaks up a lot), and the gun just points and handles like a dream.
It doesn't feel at all, like the subcompact glocks, XDs, Etc... which look and feel like someone look a larger gun and just chopped off some of the barrel/slide, and the grip.
