This part of the Kahr manuals always confuses me...
The manual recommends retracting the slide and locking it back using the slide stop.

They recommend pushing down on the slide stop to load the first round.
Unlike most guns, they do not recommend chambering a round by by pulling back the slide and letting the gun "slingshot" the 1st round into the chamber.

This seems like a time consuming extra step.
I have hear some reports stating that you can "slingshot" the rounds into the chamber after the gun is suitably broken in.

What is the real deal here?
