I'm pasting some of my sources for POSSIBLE good deals... they vary on the sellers' sales prices, etc.

I haven't looked locally. You can find LE-type 50-round boxes of Duty ammo at gun shows and online. The Speer Gold Dot Short-Barrel version is only available in 20-round boxes at $1 to $2 a bullet, depending on the seller. That stuff is usually marked up a lot. I try to get the short barrel version for as close to $20 a box as I can. The LE/Duty Speer Gold Dot ammo can be found for about $27, give or take a few bucks, or more... online. You have to search and see who has what you want and the best prices, including shipping and no tax. Some sellers only sell to LE or military... active or retired.
Sometimes you hear of good deals here on the forum. I try to pass along any deals I find, but have found some good buys mentioned here.
From time to time, Cabela's has $20 off coupons or Free shipping on orders over $99 or $150... varies. Sometimes they do that and have stuff on sale or clearance, too. When I can meet all of my objectives on good deals.
If you're buying a case, or half a case, or just enough to meet the dollar limit, you can get free shipping or better.
When I buy defense ammo, I buy the Duty stuff in 50-round boxes for the range and longer barreled guns, and the Short Barrel version for CCW.
Here are some online sellers. The prices vary and are not always bargains, but some place to start. They are not in any order... cheapest or whatever. I've used ammoengine, but they aren't very inclusive or exhaustive... leaving a lot to be desired.

This is not by any means a complete list. You can Google or search for the ammo you want. It takes time to find what you want at the price you want, but it's a place to start.
Save your own bookmarks and "join" their news letters or deal alerts, too.

Something else to consider:
This is a great place to research all Kahrs and the ammunition tested in them by experts in the field:
http://www.kahr.com/product-reviews.asp
You can read their views and see what ammo they tested and how the various kinds compared with velocity and accuracy. Some even include penetration and expansion results. You don't always have to try to "re-invent the wheel" to find an acceptable range or defense ammo for your Kahr.
We can add our favorite online places and deals here and keep this thread alive doing so.
