10mm - Any Interest in a 10mm Kahr?

[Longitude Zero]

Stick with the mainstream calibers. .357SIG, .40 Corbon are niche aka orphan calibers Kahr would be very wise to avoid like the plague.

[addictedhealer]

I know many will disagree but I'd rather kahr make a g19 sized double stack. Something a little more battle friendly.

[jocko]

andI think u have a good point to. Not much else kahr can do with their single stackguns. A small ass DS would do well, I would think.

[muggsy]

I'd like to see Kahr make a .22 LR conversion kit for it's standard pistols. I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat.

[chrish]

I agree with you guys. Avoid the weirdo calibers, stick w/ 9/40/45. Add a 22lr conversion kit, add a double-stack 4" model (TP9/40/45).

I might sell my CZ if I could get a DLC TP9 double-stack. I like the Kahr trigger THAT much.

[jocko]

I have said in the past and I will say it againwith zero proof of anything. KAHR WILL HAVE A DOUBLESTACK. They are about out of options with thier sigle stacks and to e it just makies sense to have it to fill that niche for those who deand DS guns. No doubt in my mind it willbe in 9mm first..

Take the recoil spring out of your Kahr and you'll see why a .22 conversion will not work.... unless perhaps with a floating chamber, a la ACE.
The recoil and striker spring work in opposition to each other, with the striker spring trying to draw the slide out of battery when its tensioned. The low tension of a recoil spring adequate for .22LR would be drawin out of battery when the trigger is pulled. A lighter striker spring wont work.... light or non-existant hits. Its a conundrum.

I'd like to see an all steel K45 with nice wood grips.

Actually the calibers that some of you think are odd are not all that odd at all especially the 10
Our highway patrol carries the 357 sig cartridge aswell as quite a few other state agencies
The 10 has been around since the 80's and has a strong following of fans and I have noticed in recent it actually picking up some steam.
Wasn't long ago when Rock Island launched a 1911 in 10mm flavor and from what I've heard thru the grapevine, S&W is considering an M&P 10mm.
The 10mm is a helluva cartridge

I love my CW45 but would like to see additional Kahr offerings aswell

I think those of us that referred to them as odd only meant 'less common'. No question that some of them are great and/or have their benefits. I gave serious consideration to stocking up on 357 sig at one point and having at least 1 gun in that caliber. Really like it. Just wasn't worth it in the end.

But, simple fact is that while there are agencies here and there using some of those...357 sig, 10mm, etc...they aren't near as common place as the big 3, particularly in the civilian market. And other than as a BUG, Kahr is certainly a civilian firearm company. As to those other calibers, its evident by the price of the ammo and the availability of same that they aren't civilian mainstream. There isn't much of it on the shelf b/c people don't own them and shoot them that much. A few gun enthusiasts maybe, but not the bulk of gun owners.

But how many 10mm do you REALLY think Kahr would sell? Or 357 sig? Gun companies have dropped both from their line up from time to time. They are just niche calibers. As a civilian, only reason I would need/want a 10mm is to have something to carry into bear country should I ever venture far enough west to need something like that. Otherwise, it's just too expensive, too unavailable, and too punishing to shoot.

Just sayin'.

.....and too punishing to shoot.

Sound like someone needs to grow into his big boy britches

Shooooot. I couldn't even handle a PM9. Had to sell it for the P9. Actually I just couldn't hit crap w/ a 3" barrel.

But your comment gave me a chuckle. Funny. Given my aversion to the PM series, it'd probably be more appropriately referred to as my 'big girl britches'.

Maybe its just me then but I thought the 10mm's recoil was very comparable to a 45 acp since it has more of a push back.
Tried target ammo (blazers) all the way up to Underwood's hot rounds and shot it thru Glock 29 and a 20, EAA Witness, Colt Delta Elite.
It took me along time before I bought a 10 because I went off of ppl saying it had battleship recoil but when I finally got around to shooting one it was a very nice shooting round.
One other nice bit of info was when it was hard to find the main stream 9, 40, and 45 ammo on the shelf, there was plenty of 10 and 357 sig so there again I like having choices which is why my gun safe is a mix and match of calibers.
