Purchasing a used Kahr

[rogerthedodger]

I have purchased many used guns, have yet to get a bad one. Lots of people sell guns for other reason than there is something wrong with it. Same as used cars, just know what you are buying, inspect carefully.

Seemed like a reasonable question for someone trying to purchase their first Kahr. Sorry I bothered you with such a trivial question, I'll try to not do it again.

Agree with Bawanna. There are lots of very smart, helpful people here. If you have any problems, they will help you figure it out. It's probably helpful if you like to tinker a bit, or at least aren't intimidated by field stripping a gun and basic cleaning/maintanence.

You're right, it is like buying a used car. Or anything else used. You can't be 100% sure of its history. But disassembling and tweaking on a Kahr is a lot easier than rebuilding a transmission.

Buy an all steel Kahr, especially if buying used.

I think popeye came on a little strong there Allen, not like him normally.

I would not approach buying a used Kahr any differently than any other used gun. If it looks good and not abused looking and seems to rack properly your probably ok.

Regardless of warranty there's lots of help right here and if need be the folks at Kahr will straighten it out.

We surely don't look down on trivial or what some call stupid questions. What's old news for some is ground breaking for others.

What Kahrs are on your list for consideration?

Thanks for the support Bawanna. Still kind of in a quandry between the CM/PM9s, but just lately started wondering about going on up to a 40. But after reading one of the Ballistic Charts it looks like that 40 would probably kick like my .357 mag so maybe will eliminate it from my wish list for a CCW to replace my heavier bulkier Beretta .380.
Really appreciate all the information I'm getting from this Forum, great bunch of guys.
