My first handgun 25 or so years ago was a model 85 and it's still going strong, no problems ever. All I did was paint the front sight white so I could see it and replace the grips with nice wood that my wife got me for a birthday. That said, no way I'd carry it, I just don't shoot it well enough to count on it for life-saving duties ... I carried a PM9 for about 10 years after I got my plastic, if you can get a good one for $200, I'd grab it. it's an excellent gun, mine has never failed in any way, accurate and easy to shoot. (If you get one, swap out the springs) I switched to a Sig p238 a year or so ago; with a spare mag I have 14 rounds of Critical Defense on hand, pocket carries better than the Kahr. It's expensive, but shoots like a dream, almost no felt recoil and very accurate out to 15 yards, which is where I normally shoot at the range.
