A Kahr in .22lr

[bigmacque]

I'd rather have a separate .22lr Kahr. I'm currently planning to drop about $500 on a Ruger MKIII. I'd much rather buy a Kahr .22lr if one was available.

I'd like to stop you in your tracks there.

First, Ruger's can be purchased new for closer to $300 if you look around. Granted, the stainless steel target specials are a little higher than that, but $400 at the max. You need to consider just what you're buying one for; if it's competition shooting, spend the $1000 and get a few of the really good competition shooters that are out there. But for a .22, if it's just for plinking around, why spend any more than you have to? I just bought a brand new, blued, 10107 for $260.00.

Second, before you buy a Ruger, read the manual on disassembly and reassembly, then talk to a few owners about taking them down for cleaning. In fact, if possible, try it yourself a few times.

I'd be surprised if Kahr has not previously considered this. The best way to pursue this is to contact them directly to discuss what they might be thinking.

good luck, I doubt if they will tellus anything about any possable R & D..

I would rather see one in 22WMR because it is more respectable as a SD round. You know, KelTec has the new PMR-30 flying off the shelves faster than a spooked fly. It looks like a real winner in a full size, but light weight, carry pistol. And it comes with two 30 round mags. (You could wage a small war! ) I know the 22 Magnum rounds aren't as cheap for plinking, but they are still pretty cheap. I'd like to get one of those guns, but I'll wait until the demand levels out and the price drops.
