I have a kahr k9 that I traded awhile back for another gun that I had. I came out pretty good on the deal. The kahr came with seven mags with the deal. It has around 3000 rounds thru it now.
Now I have a chance to trade it in on a barely used glock 17. The glock comes with night sights installed. The party had to put it up forsale because of the family. It's going for $450.00 near my local gun shop. I know this is a good deal. Maybe had one session at the range.
I went down to local gun range and rented one, and it was very accurate for my needs. Much more than the kahr. The owner of the store said he would trade me for the kahr + 100.00 cash for the glock.
My only problem is that glocks are not too eye appealing to me. I think there very ugly guns, but they shoot great. They have very fat grips for my hands. Feels like a 2X4 in your hands.
Now the kahr is pretty! It feels good and shoots great but not as accurate as the glock. So I don't know. I hate to pass up a deal like this. What do you guys think about glocks here? I mean I am not using the kahr for carry anyway. It just sits in the house or to the range occasionally. My only interest in guns is for target shooting anyway and a little home protection.
The other thing that concerns me is that I have heard that the kahrs don't hold up that well with long sessions at the range. Would the glock last longer and be more maintenance free? With the kahr, you have to put a re-coil spring in every 3000 rounds. I know the springs are cheap, but 3000 rounds!
That's not a lot of ammo to rack up quick for target practice sessions.
Anyone?
