Hello I'm Gene, long time gun owner and shooter. 8 yrs USMC (76-84); Long time IDPA competitor. I build 1911 and work on most all guns ( basic stuff, not a gunsmith by any stretch...lol). I've owned many pistols , but 1st time with Kahr (CT40). I'm very impressed with the Kahr, except for the MIMS parts( as a rule, I immediately swap out MIMS for forged or milled.). Glad to be here.
