Pocket guns with firepower
Kahr firearms has made some real grounds in the CCW world. Whenever I talk to some of my shooting buddies about what type of gun I should consider carrying it always ends up being J-Frames, Kahr and then something else. I never really jumped on the pocket semi-auto bandwagon, but I would have to say that many of my friends have had very good experieneces with Kahr firearms. My only real interest in buying there products would be one of the M1 Carbines from Auto-Ordnance but I’m not sure if that really counts. The Sig 239 has turned out to be my primary small semi-auto but I have to admit that even though it fits in a pocket, it is still too heavy to carry there.
Kahr firearms come in the popular .380 caliber, 9mm, 40 S&W and the potent 45acp. I think the idea of a pocket 45acp is a good idea, but I highly suggest you do some reasearch into how often you will need to replace recoil springs. Many small semi-autos need more lubrication and spring maintenance and this will play a major factory in gun magazine and recoil spring reliability. The smaller the gun, the more you will have to be concerned about limp wristing, also. Kahr magazines are in the $30 price range, but I would seriously consider keeping atleast 3 of them for each gun you own.
