Kahrs are garbage, steep feed ramps make them unreliable with different brands of JHP ammo (and even FMJ's), the polymer isn't FRN/fiberglass reinforced - for strength like most polymer guns are. The only Kahr I've seen that can reliably chamber any JHP was the CW45 BUT... the MIM barrels on the 'CW'/economy pistols is spotty in quality, I've seen pits/missing chunks of steel on the barrel lands (cheaply made). Magwell isn't bevelled at all. And the extremely long/delayed trigger reset isn't practical for combat or self defense... it takes away the best part of a semi-auto pistol: The Fast SA Trigger. If you want a long double action just get an all steel S&W revolver and skip the plastic toys.
