After some thought , I do not believe any one would buy a tiny Kahr .22. For self defense, .22 rimfire is not as reliable as a centerfire. The tip-up barrel Beretta 21A Bobcat has it covered for someone without good hand strength that wants a small .22 defensive arm. For double action, a .22 Magnum appeals more to those that want low recoil. To mimic the smooth "double action" feel of the Kahr, a quality .22 revolver would need to be purchased along with polishing the trigger mechanism. Adding to the overall cost, .22 ammo here is still $6.00/50. There are now .22 pistols that make better trail guns than a small Kahr. I would think most would decide to use their CM on the trail, practice more with 9mm ammo, or practice with a .38/Spl. D/A. This is written a person who is a little bit bitter. I purchased a Ruger .22 SP101 4" barrel just as the can't find/buy .22 ammo fiasco started happening and am still shooting mostly 9mm. Maybe one day ammo will be closer to $3.00/50. Does not seem that long ago I would go to Charlie's Bait Shop and buy Winchester Wildcats for 0.85 cents /box.
