Finally got it yesterday.
I've put 300 rounds through it, all after dark, da@n work anyway.
I've been waiting 6 years for Kahr to make this pistol.......I wasn't disapointed.
First the down sides.....
1) Very scarce in my area...had to wait 3 weeks and drive 200 miles to get it.
2) Ordered with night sights but took it without, will add them later. Got from the largest gun dealer in Indy, my 21st handgun from him, he put me on top of his list. Serial # in 800's.
3) One clip bad, failure to feed, thought was gun to start with.
4) Slide release was atrotious, sticks way out and has sharp edges.
Now that that's out of the way......One great pistol.....
Has the 98 elite trigger....SWEET....smothest double action trigger I've ever fired.....including glocks and revolvers with trigger jobs.
Got out the trusty dremel and took off some size and rough edges on the slide release, polished the ramp while I was at it.
Seems to shoot to point of aim, although haven't bench rested it yet, but hits 4" spinning target at fifteen yards consistently(with car headlights in the dark). Won't have a chance to put it on paper until Monday.
Grip was a little to small and abrasive, added "hand-all jr." and that did the trick.
Reliability.....100% after first 100 rounds with good clip.
100 % with Pro-Load 124 + P's, Gold Dot 124's and Hydra-Shock 124's.
Equalizer.......Felt recoil about the same as my Glock m19 or Smith m37 with standard loads. Not bad for a 9mm in such a light package, I attribute this to the hand being very close to the barrel axis.
Fit and finish is what you would expect from Kahr.
All in all, one very sweet gun, will probably take position of my main carry weapon.
Will update when have had chance to thourghly test.
Will be glad to answer specific questions.........Stay safe.......Jim

Yup, I'm the guy you let hold it. I called Bob yesterday and he said he'd be getting one in today. I think I might be heading down there
