Hello all,
I am actually a rookie when it comes to hand guns in general. We had to put our German Shepherd down (12 years old) this past June. The wife mentioned that since she works from home, she hasn't felt to comfortable during the day time since that is when most home invasions happen. We discussed getting a handgun as we both have shot before, and fully understand what we are getting into. It is just us as our kids our now grown and out of the house.
I have been helping a good friend of mine move since he is going through a divorce. He is a police officer and has a selection of nice guns. For all of my help, he told me to pick anyone and it was mine. I looked at his Ruger, S&W and the Kahr P9. My wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis and being able to pull the slide is a huge factor. Turns out the Kahr P9 just felt great in her hand so that is the one that I have selected. Today I will be going to submit the background application and should have the gun in my possession in the next 10 days. From there, a good cleaning and off to the range so we can spend time getting acquainted with it.
From the reviews I have seen, it appears that we made a good choice.
