I've only heard good things about Kahr. I researched them on the internet for several weeks before I finally decided to buy my wife a P9. We haven't shot it yet, but are looking forward to with great anticipation!

I have a K9 and I'am very pleased with it. Great carry piece and extremely accurate.

I got a stainless P40 it's great. It's kicks hard with lots of muzzle flip. Get a hoge rubber slip on grip thing. the plastic backstrap is hard on the hand. The checkering is too rough. other then the backstrap it's a great piece.

I think the P40 is a little small for a .40 caliber handgun- probably not very comfortable to shoot. My P9 is a reliable tack-driver (out shoots my Glock 19 and 17 at 25 yards) that's comfortable for about 200 rounds, then starts to wear on the hand. Great little gun. Get the 9 and just put 115-grain Cor-bons in it.

the kahr 40 is an excellent gun. I prefer the stainless. The more weight the easier it is too handle plus I found the slide rough with the polymer frame compared to the stainless.
The 40 is a FAR superior round over a 380!! Email me if you want info on caliber and bullet comparisons in real life shootings |

It's a little informative, but very entertaining. It's a previous thread about Kahrs.

I would stick with the 9mm Kahr. The .40 S&W is great - but with a small, light handgun I believe the 9mm is a better choice.

purchased the P40 covert. its only an emergency weapon, not for target practice so recoil is not a major consideration as long as it does not fly from my hand.
i'll try shooting it sometime this week. i love the trigger pull. what the hell is a moonie? if he is a bad guy, then does that mean i should sell off my AK's too? [:)] he may be a bad person, but i dont do whatever it is that he does and neither does my kahr. non-moonie lib |

Owned a K40. Sold it only because it didn't fit my hand. Accurate, reliable and had a great trigger. It just didn't fit me.

I know I'm a little late here, but you made a good choice! I carry a Kahr P9 with 135 gr Federal Hydra-Shok JHP's with me everywhere I go.
Lightweight, slim, easily concealable, accurate, and I have yet to have one problem with it. Not one jam... nothing! And, just in case I ever DO have a problem... it has a lifetime warranty, just send it in, and they'll fix it for free!!! It IS quite narrow, so if you have real big hands, you may want an overgrip for it. Fits my hand perfectly, and has just enough room for my pinkie to fit comfortably with the mag inserted. Not sure how the recoil on the .40 is with such a light gun, but the 9mm is very comfortable and doesn't move too much. All in all, it's a great gun if you ask me! -JLA |
