Why did you buy your kahr

[espresso]

I wanted a small carry pistol without the super short barrel.
Something fun to shoot at the range, easy to carry and didn't break the bank.
Reliable
No manual safety
fit my hand well.
That pretty much describes my CW9

why did I buy a Kahr?

...........BAM!.................look at that......need I say more?

I wanted something small and light. I had been carrying a G36 for some time but I never was satisfied with it, do to the size and weight. Started looking around on the internet for small 45's. I read a review on the Kahr pm45 and did some research on it. Liked what I found. I bought one and have been carrying it almost all the time since I got it.

Wanted something small and light for vacation and summer carry. Checked out several smaller 9's and decided the PM9 fit what I was looking for.

I bought a CW40 because its concealeable,reliable,powerfull,and i like it. In the winter it becomes my b.u.g.

I bought my PM9 because I needed something smaller than my G27 for EDC here in FL where light clothing is the norm almost year round.
The PM9 has fit that role very well.

My shooting buddy purchased a K40 and when I shot it I liked it, so now it is my usual daily carry.

I spent a lot of time looking for a single stack that fit my hand well. I had a S&W 3904 years ago that just wasn't quite right and didn't like the feel of the 3913 or Kel-Tec PF-9. Once I handled a Kahr I was hooked. The CW-40 didn't work out due to malfunctions but everything else was great. Got rid of the CW-40 and bought a K-40. It's everything I was looking for in an easily concealed gun that fit my hand like a glove and shoots great. Now, with the exception of my 642, every other handgun feels strange to me.

I have a PM9 and a K40. The reason I fell in love with these Kahrs is because it fit my hand perfectly. I swear I heard angels sing the first time I held one! I have a small hand with a very short trigger reach. I had never held a gun before that felt comfortable. Either the grips were to thick or the trigger was a mile away. Only problem I found so far, is that this is going to become an expensive addiction. Already thinking about which .45 I want!

With every carry gun I've had, there has been something I didn't like about it; too wide, grip too short, grip too slippery, barrel too short/long, etc.

On my CW9, the single-stack, thin, full length grip, overall narrow width of the gun, the 3.6" barrel length, and flat-out reliability and accuracy is just perfect. There is nothing I dislike at all or would change about this gun. It has such a natural grip for me, I can point-shoot this gun accurately with faster drawing-from-concealment times than I could with any other.

Researching carry guns... Ruger LC9, LCP, the Beretta Nano, and such. Came across this forum and I was pretty much sold. There was so much written about the quality and the trigger. The collective knowledge and the quality of the people of this forum are a big plus too that positively affected my decision!

My choices were CW9, PM9, or P380. I finally found an LGS that had them and the CW9 just fit right. I will probably end up with a bunch of other Kahrs (when I can afford them).

I got my K9 because the wife had gotten a CW9 and I felt like that was the perfect size for every day carry, but I prefer steel.

I bought my CM9 because my 1911 was just to big for me to carry daily. I was going to buy a Walther PP9, but it was just too tall. I really liked the CM9 because it was extremely small and striker fired. It might be a stretch, but I'm not a big fan of hammer fired for self-defense. I just have a fear that it may get hung on clothing or some bad guy could grab the back of the gun.

Ditto......this was also a big factor for me.

A man in my church overheard me talking about getting a KelTec P11 as my first concealed carry. Stopped me in mid-sentence and said, "I got something for you!" Next day, we met at a local indoor range. He brought a whole arsenal of pistols (about 8 different ones) and wanted me to try them all. After a while with all of them, he asked, "Which one you like best?" I said, "This one." He said, "It's YOURS!"

It was the PM9. It fit my hand like a glove, was a 9mm (like I wanted), and I shot the best with it. For quality, personal taste, size, power, and sentimental reasons...I don't think I'll ever sell this gun.
