Is Kahrtalk Popularity Up?

+1 Wynn!

+1 on all! Thanks all, Kahr pistols are a fun product, but the gang on this forum is what keeps me coming back so often!

[JERRY]

Kahr has introduced a new mini .380acp which seems to be all the rage now-a-days....coupled along with a smaller (than a Glock 36) polymer .45acp and the increasing popularity of the PM9.

i was in to Kahrs in the late 90s early 2000s when i owned a MK9 and then a K9......eventually traded off for Glocks that fit the bill better due to the weight and size of the all steel Kahrs......now they seem to be having the bugs worked out of their polymer guns more and more.....ive finally picked up a PM9, toying with the idea of a P380 and a PM45...if and when they get those bugs worked out eventually....

I bought a K9 with NS in early '98 and loved the pistol, but it was just too heavy for me. I continued to carry my .22 Walther TPH until I heard about the new P380. I ordered and paid for one with night sights... and began an 11-month wait for that one. I had ammo and a Crossbreed Mini Tuck for it within 5 months of the order... the Mini Tuck was highly thought of on this forum. I bought a horse hide one for my PM9 and use it for everything but the P380.

Meanwhile, it seemed that everyone here had a PM9 and that was the thing to have. I wanted a PM45 and went to a gun show(Jan. 2010) hoping to just see one and see what it felt like in my hand. I didn't see one of those, but I did find a LNIB Black PM9 with night sights! It was like finding the Holy Grail... really... surrealistic! It felt like the clouds in the sky parted and focused rays from sun shown through and highlighted the pistol. I bought it... wrote a check... hadn't expected to buy anything! Then I bought a box of 9mm FMJ to load it with for the trip back home. I had been in a hurry to take a load of electronic stuff up to the north side for recycling and then had to hurry the the south side to the gun show. In the rush, I had forgotten my EDC!!

As I left the dealer and walked out to the car I kept feeling tingles and everything just seemed unreal... as I said... surrealistic!

The extractor flying off was the first real problem I've had in over 2 1/2 years! I got the PM45 less than a month later and about a month after that my P380 came in on March 31, 2010. The front night sight was dead and it went back to Kahr the next day, unfired!

I haven't had the best of luck with NEW polymer Kahrs, but I eventually get them sorted out here or at the factory... perseverance!

The P380 weighs just a fraction of an ounce less than the .22 TPH, both loaded with 6+1 rounds... Stingers in the TPH and +P Buffalo Bore 90-gr Gold Dots. That's quite an increase in firepower and more reliable ignition.

Another rambling long story.

I recently joined another forum that caters to many of my interest and I once again know what a noob feels like. They are great and they are wicked smart and I feel like I was born yesterday. Often overwelmed with information and get a headache trying to remember all the stuff I see.

But this forum is like a comfortable recliner, I obviously visit it frequently every day so its familiar and I know the players and they are most all like buddies.
It's obviously habit forming as whenever I'm unable to check in I wonder what everyone is up to.

Usually no good which is my fortee.

I know the feeling (about joining another forum and feeling pretty raw). I participate in a couple of others, each of which seems to have its resident experts and long-timers, some of whom are truly helpful, while others seem to enjoy abusing new members by reminding them that their question was discussed back in 2007 and the case is now closed.

Of course there are some "very senior" members here like any forum, but I never felt bad as a new guy.

I lurk on some other firearms forums but I do enjoy Kahr talk, most likely due to our smaller number of members keeping things fun and civil.
I too check in a couple of time a day. I'm off work recoveing from surgery and this palce has helped with the sanity issues.
Glad we are all here... Keep up the good work!

I have checked out a number of forums over the years for info and research on whatever may have caught my interest at the moment. I have been a member of a few for a few years, joined others soley so I could use the search function.

Through my reading posts on new forums I can kind of guage the type of forum it is. If I like it I join and participate, though I may have nothing to add but have a few questions to ask. As time goes on I just might find myself being able to help out a "newbie" here and there.

Thus I am on here and try to participate. One thing I REALLY like about this forum is that it is not ALL Kahr and ONLY Kahr. Too many sites are too narrow in their focus. I never knew that Kahr owned Thompson until I joined this site, and I bought my Tommy Gun about 6 months before my K40!

I only own one Kahr but own a few other firearms. I like that ANY firearm can be discussed on here with no backlash. I can add to those discussions as I have a wide variety of firearms and have never joined one of those manufacturer specific forums.

Still waiting for the horse head to show up, though. I'm sure it will eventually!

Absolutely on both counts!

To really get this forum going we need more posters. We need a lot more input from everyone so there is always something new to read and reply to. I like the forum and check it often but I can read all the new posts in about 5 minutes and then I move on. I come back several times each day to see what is new, but I would stay longer if there were more new posts. Pick a subject and post away. Keep complaints to a minimum though. Post questions and stories of interest. When I like a product, I like to read about it.

I belong to a great many forums ranging from guns to aviation because I have many interests, and most have hundreds or thousands of members. However, the intimacy here at Kahrtalk makes it my favorite and the only one I visit daily. It's almost like meeting with friends at a coffee shop every afternoon to talk about whatever comes up in conversation. Although I have only met a very few member in person, it seems like I know dozens of people here that I can call friends. I wouldn't want it any other way and I hope it never changes.

not my

fault, Bawanna sent me the wrong address Now the damn head is spoiled, stinks. Postal service chewed my a$$ out, so I have it strapped on the back of my trusty Honder dream. Might take a month to get ithere but "trust" ol jocko.

remember it is the thought that matters. KJust sayin

I found this forum because I was looking for some info on how to break in my new Kahr. I joined because of how knowledgeable and friendly most people on this forum are.

[DeaconKC]

I found this site when looking for info on my Thompson, it has become a great getaway from Moderating on another site. We have to work hard to keep it friendly over there, so the "recliner" feeling here is most welcome.
