I'll be honest. I've never been interested in Kahr pistols.

I knew they existed. I knew a couple of folks who owned them.

They just never drew my attention. I considered them to be just another "off brand" of small CCW pistols.

Today, at H and H Gun Range in Oklahoma City, my wife and I rented a
Kahr K40.

Now, we're shopping for one.

It was sleek and slim in our hands. The recoil wasn't bad at all, even in the "snappy" .40S&W. The trigger was one of the nicer DAO pulls I've ever used.

I liked it, a lot.

I typically carry a Kimber Ultra Carry II. When I can't carry it (I work at a college where it's prohibited) my wife has it.

But she's looking for something bigger than a .380 that she could shoot well and feel comfortable with that would fit her carry method a little better than the Kimber does.

She handled the Kahr just fine.

She could operate the slide perfectly.

We were both able to consistently hit the silhouette target at 7 yards with ease. We were both able to also make 7-yard head shots on the target with no problems.

I ran the target down to 25 yards and held at the juncture of the silhouette's neck and shoulders. I got a five shot group just below that juncture, with one flier out in the right shoulder.

We shot slow fire, fast aimed fire, double-taps, and even a couple of rounds of point shooting. No problems at all. Just smooth, easy functioning.

Like I said, I was never interested in Kahrs until today.

I'm impressed.

Anybody selling one at a good price?

Yeah, Kahr earned my respect a few years ago when a then new shooting buddy broke out a 9mm Kahr and let me put a couple mags worth of ammo through it...impressive! Now the trigger was a tad long but not Desert Eagle long and the accuracy rivals some big name manufacturers!
