We may have some disagreement about what is poor about the design. The plastic bases are suboptimal IMO, but the steel bases are better than the usual trendy bases we see on other pistols IMO. It's a...

The "gap" discussions remind me of all the late nineties "Glock=ugly" discussions. I forgave Glocks for their appearance long ago, just as I never held the "gap" against the Kahrs. Function is king.

This whole subject strikes me as funny, because when Kahrs first arrived on the scene, they did what no other pistol at the time did so well - and it was hailed as a godsend. Now, we nitpick over...

I would give a couple warnings. First - a pistol I bought from an individual included with it a magazine with a 3d printed base plate. It lasted a few months for me but then began to split between...

I've only been running mine with 230gr hp, because that's what I had a lot of on hand. Just put together some 200gr SWC, but haven't shot it yet. At any rate, that won't be my defensive load. The 230...

I have several. I've posted here before the reason why, and I still stand by it. I had the embarrassment of one of my earliest Kahr mags dumping its contents on a friend's living room floor because...

Just revisiting this thread, and it occurs to me that maybe your rims are hanging up on the case mouth of the next round. Possibly insufficient crimp? The Lee FCD should cure that too.

Another issue with the extractor...

I was having some feed failures that I expected would go away during or after the usual suggested 200 round break in. That didn't happen, so I began to...

$292 and free shipping..... Not bad!

Love that little CM9! It always surprises me how easy it is to shoot well.

Stretching out the spring does more harm than good. A new spring will take on a set quickly once installed and used, and will be shorter than its starting length. Stretching it back out causes...

I've always had the hots for a P7M8.

Yeah, it's weird that dropping the mag makes a difference. Are these SWC loads? I found that my CT45 won't chamber those fully without forcing, while they have worked just fine in all my 1911's....

I've never had any problems with my Kahr followers, and some of my mags are over 25years old with thousands of round through them. The bases OTOH are another issue. They will break eventually. But...

I carried either a K9, a 1911, or a HiPower IWB for years. Mostly the K9. Very do-able in a Milt Sparks VMII. But after I developed lower back trouble related to an injury, that method tends to...

I haven't shot the MK40, but I did have a range session with a rental MK9 years ago. I was amazed at how easy it was to shoot well. I'd say that little gun is probably my favorite pistol that I've...

Yeah, a good review - and well written. I'm not a fan of the 380 cartridge, but that almost makes me want to get a CT380. I know I'd like it, since I like every other Kahr I've handled.

I did talk to another CT45 owner who said his extractor is just like mine. Paying closer attention, the extractor is flush when a round is chambered but recessed slightly when the chamber is empty....

Nice!
And thanks for the tip about the 365 cover plate. I hadn't thought of that for mine.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any aftermarket source for non-plastic mag baseplates for any Kahrs. I do...

That's very cool - and useful. Thanks for posting.

Yep. I thought of doing that instead of selling the 365, but since I wasn't really fond of the trigger either it just didn't make sense to me. Especially since I found the Shield Plus to be more to...

Yeah, that's one sharp looking pistol!

I have one of the E-nickel K9s they made early on. It's a safe queen now, but it needs a set of those grips. 👍

I had a 365xl for a year or so and shot it quite a bit. I sold it because I couldn't shoot it as well as my Kahrs and it didn't conceal any easier. The trigger is good, but not that good. For me, the...

True. I'm just commenting on how if the X9 is a little thicker than the 365 that's not necessarily a bad thing. And if grip thickness was my only beef with the 365 (which it was not, and I also...

Picked up a new CT45. Liking the gun. But I notice that with a round chambered, the extractor does not stand proud of the slide and indicate in any way that a round is chambered. All of my 9mm Kahrs...
