Just a few days ago, I purchased a used Kahr P380 said to be excellent condition. I paid a total of $472 counting taxes and fees. Plus I will have to pay the dealer near me a transfer fee of $20. This will be my first Kahr.
I live in the southeast and hold a concealed carry permit, which I obtained because I recognize that if I have the skills (which I do) and the means (which I do) to protect not just myself, but others around me, I need to be prepared for that possibility. I would hate to be in a situation where I have to watch something bad happen to somebody else and I can't do anything to stop it. I hope I never have to use a firearm in a real life confrontation, but I would rather be prepared for nothing than unprepared for something. I served honorably on active duty in the Marine Corps infantry back in the 1990s, so I had firearms safety instilled me. In almost 30 years of handling firearms, I've never once had an "accidental" discharge. I put accidental in quotes because as my fellow gun enthusiasts know, there's no such thing as an accidental shooting.
I've been carrying a Glock 27, which I purchased about 18 years ago. It's a nice gun and is good for concealed carry, but it isn't quite as small as some other guns and therefore isn't as comfortable as some other guns could be. In just the last few months I became really enamored with the idea of carrying something smaller, more comfortable, and easier to conceal. I just recently picked up the Glock 42. I know it's a .380, but I wanted to feel the satisfaction of knowing I own the smallest Glock on the market. And I also was interested in the Kahr P380 because it's more of a pocket pistol than is the G42.
I've seen mixed reviews on the Kahr P380, but then from what I've seen almost all pocket pistols seem to have some mixed reviews. I'm a tad bit nervous that I could have purchased a $450 paperweight based on a few reviews. But then on other reviews, it looks like a good .380.
My next purchase I want to go for a subcompact 9MM. Perhaps even the Kahr PM .40 or .45. I would love to hear what everybody has to say about the Kahr P380. And sorry for mentioning Glock on a Kahr forum (don't know if that is against the ToS!), but just sharing a bit about what I've owned and how I made it to the point of purchasing my first Kahr. I haven't even yet picked it up.
