    Re: What brought you to Kahr?

    When the 7th circuit court gave Illinois 180 days to come up with a concealed carry law, I started looking for a carry gun.

    Compact this, subcompact that... then I started looking into single stacks, and Kahr kept coming up. So I spent a few weeks researching Kahr, as I had never heard of them... I read/watched pretty much everything I could find regarding Kahr vs anything else.

    Then I bought a CM40.

    One of these days, I plan on picking up one of the all steel Kahrs.. just haven't decided which one yet.

        Several bills have come up for vote, all have failed so far. The Democrats in Chicago really want a "may issue" bill, but don't have enough support. Their plan B is to have a "shall issue" bill state wide, but leave Cook County and Chicago as "may issue"... still not enough votes.

        Their latest effort involves a "shall issue" bill, but allowing home ruled municipalities (such as Chicago) to add their own local ordinances for the first 90 days, meaning that they would enact something to the equivalent of "may issue". This one hasn't been voted on yet, but it'll fail as well.

        The majority want rep Phelps' bill to pass, which is a "shall issue" bill, but the Chicago dems are trying every other possibility in the meantime. Phelps' bill already won the majority vote, but in order to allow for preemption (meaning local municipalities can't add their own restrictions), a super majority is required.

        So basically, nothing's happened yet

        As for reciprocity, the latest iteration of Phelps' bill listed a dozen or so states that had similar training requirements as to what they're trying to pass here, i.e. classroom training, live fire test, etc. I know Florida was listed and Utah wasn't... beyond that, I'd have to go back and check the bill.

          A while back I signed up for a long weekend of training with John Farnam of Defense Training International. The first two days were Urban Carbine. The third day was Defensive Handgun. All weekend long, John urged everyone in the class to have a "service" grade handgun with double-stack magazine, as well as a BUG. His two recommendations for a BUG were Rohrbaugh and Kahr.

          One day, I happened to find a used T9 in the display case at my local family-owned shop. That beautiful piece came home with me right then and there.

            I had been thinking about buying a gun for a while, and when all the gun-control advocates starting going nuts after Sandy Hook, I decided the time for me had come. I had never owned a gun in my life, so a friend invited me over to his house to show me his different pistols. From my military days I knew I did not want a big gun, but rather something smaller. After showing me all his guns and me saying that they all seemed a little too big, he realized he had forgotten to pull his carry pistol out of his holster. When he put his MK9 in my hand it felt like it was a part of my hand, so at that moment I decided that a Kahr was all I was going to look for. In the end I decided on a CM9 because of the lower cost. I don't know guns, but I know I like my Kahr.

              andur friend has some class to. IMO u made a great decision with goingto the cm9, if u want pesonal protection as the lowest price and the best of allinquality, u made the right choice in the cm9. Sure nuttin wrong with the MK series but one is a brick to carry and the utter a cotton ball. Just sayin

                  Welcome back RevRay, hope the mission of spreading the good news was fruitful.

                  Okay, my story goes like this... When I first got my CHL I had two guns to carry. I have a Springfield, GI 1911 and a .22cal Berretta 21A. Too dang hefty/clunky on the big end and too small to do the real job at the other end. Holsters were not as elegant or prolific as they are today and I felt really uncomfortable most days.
                  When I realized it time to upgrade the Thin steel Kahrs were my fist choice, but priced out of my reach for a long time. Then I found the poly Kahrs and thought it was time to check them out.
                  So the wife and I went into the CTD retail store one afternoon as they were advertising a big Kahr sale. I had decided to go 40S&W and had the salesman pull out the PM40 and the CW40. The PM40 was nice and tiny, but left me dangling a pair of fingers. The CW40 fit the hand better and the bevel on the slide front was, for me, a plus. The wife asked me to "explain the differences" and so I did. Then she asked which one I was leaning towards and why. I picked up the CW40 and told her that it was the one and why. She smiled and tossed a bunch of hundred dollar bills up on the counter and told the salesman "he'll take that one". Seems it was my Birthday and since I saved $250 taking the CW over the PM we had plenty of funds left over for Leather and ammo...
                  All these years and thousands of rounds later I can afford "nicer" guns than my old CW40, but I wouldn't take anything for it now.
                  I added a P380 later, that is the gun that I now carry more than any other piece I own. Great little gun and pocket carry of the P380 and the spare mag allows for 15 second "gear-ups" on they way out the door.
                  The NYPD trade in K9 I picked up at New Years is just a project right now, but she sure is fun to shoot.
                  Khar makes some great guns, what's not to like?
                  I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
                  "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
                  " prepared for what" he asked?
                  "more stuff than you are"
                  God Bless our Troups!

                      Wanted a small 9mm to carry on vacation. Found the PM9 and we've been happy ever since.

                        Even though I have shot something for more than 45 years Spring 2010 was the first time I went to pick a carry gun. In all my looking I liked the KAHR but had read about problems and did not want that in my first. I ended up with an XD9sc and still like.
                        Jump to Fall 2011 and I was looking at .380s because I wanted something for hotter weather and deeper concealment when needed. I saw that KAHR had come out with the CM9 and was looking at one at the range I go to. While fondling it the owner said you do know this is our 10 year Anniversary and you get $50.00 off of any thing in stock. Bought it then and there.

                        If I had known then what I know know I would have bought the CW9 in the first place. But I do carry my XD most of the time.

                          One glance at a T9 in the store was love at first sight. Then I learned about the K9 and had to have one. The MK9 has beckoned to me as well, but unless I come into tons of extra money it will elude my grasp.

                          Yes, I also bought a CW45 but I have sold it. It just didn't do it for me.
