I may just be CHEAP... but if you can't find a new Kahr for under 400.00, I'd give the Heritage Stealth a try. All of the reviews I've read about the Stealth have been VERY favorable towards it. It's small, lightweight, and a polymer frame pistol that holds 10 rounds of 9mm. They are advertised in all the gun rags for about $259.00 (I think).
I like Kahr a LOT... but they just cost too darn much for what you get. They're high quality, but don't hold enough rounds to justify the price IMHO.
Enjoy and keep us informed about whatever you get,
Ben
Just wondering... who makes the Patriot?
