How many Lawmen use Kahr for back up or off duty.

[Bawanna]

I too can attest to this. I have several officer who's new gun goes straight from box to where ever they carry it.

They do have to do a minimal qualification that's far too easy and only about a a dozen rounds to be officially blessed. But many carry them prior to the official ok.

Totally foreign to me. Can't imagine carrying a gun that I don't even know if it works.

Again, most officers are not gun guys. It's a just a tool they are required to wear like a carpenters hammer.

I never carried any weapon, CCW, duty, backup, deep cover before I get at least 500 rounds thru it. The last 250 had better be trouble free or no go.

but u also have some brains to. there is a difference IMO

That's me to a T as well with any gun I ever plan to carry. It's been increasing difficult with ammo expensive and hard to find.
Many of my guns have never had factory ammo thru them except for the factory carry stuff. If I get 500 perfect without failure on my reloads and 4 to 6 boxes of the carry stuff with no issue, I consider it good to go.

u mean u can actually reload 45's???? Wow what next???

I also was told that NYPFD told kahr they wanted a 13" strker and kahr said no, More political than anything as the gun has been approved for years with the NYPD trigger and now they wanted to up the striker spring to be I guess what ever glocks are, I might beoff on that, it could have been uped to 11#, but eihter way I was told kahr said NO and that was it... Probably somewhere between what WMac19 is saying and what I am stating is the truth... Just sayin

You know, I've seen many stories and videos of accidental and negligent discharges and they always seem to happen with Glocks. I cannot remember ever seeing anything involving a Kahr. Just sayin'.

Glock 17 Gen 4 on duty

Off duty - K9 or P380. Previously I had a Glock 26 and Ruger LCP, but I sold both of those once I found Kahr Arms.

One reason is that there are far more Glock pistols in use in LE than Kahr.

ADs or NDs with Glock pistols for the most part in LE are due to poor or improper training and LEOs that fail to pay attention to what they are taught.

When I was with my old PD, we put 10's of thousands of rounds downrange thru our G19s w/o a single mishap. I believe they still have that kind of excellent safety record.

I carry either my CW380 or PM9 depending on uniform as my backup gun. When working plain clothes details I carry my P9 more often than my duty gun. Just bought a CT9 that I keep in the car all have been flawless at the range.

I am a police officer on a 2 year college campus. We don't have a ton of activity, but we do have our share of crimes.

On duty, I carry the department issue Glock 22. But whenever the campus is closed, like for all the various holidays, spring break, fall break, Thanksgiving (3 days) and Christmas break (2 weeks) I carry my Kahr CT45 in a Desantis Yaqui slide holster along with a spare mag and cuffs in a Bianchi model 45 mag/cuff paddle.


My Kahr CW380 rides in my right front pocket whenever I am vertical.

CT 45? Why doesn't that sound right to me?

[EvanLee]

CT 45? Why doesn't that sound right to me?

What doesn't sound right about it? I've always been a big fan of the .45ACP cartridge.

[berettabone]

They should have called it the FP45............................................fl ying plates

I still don't get it. Mine is dead nuts reliable and more accurate than I am.

Why all the derogatory comments and mud slinging?

[Bawanna]

Not derogatory comments at all, I am a 45 guy through and through. I guess I just wasn't aware that they made the CT in 45.

I think I had T series in my head and they only make those in 9 and 40?

I'd love a T 45 and a K45 and a MK45.

CT is a tupperware T right? Full size. Why didn't I know that.
