Will Kahr stay in 1999?

So my p365 xl is almost as slim as my ST9. The XL holds 12+1. The ST9 holds 8+1. It seems an easy step to redesign the frame so that the car can stay in the same ballpark. The new magazine designs from Smith and Wesson and SIG would be conducive to feeding in a redesign Kahr. I would like to see this because I do like the Kahr trigger.

Kahr’s polymer frame is really beefy. It seems like they could thin out the magwell and do at least a staggered stack to get a few more rounds.

I own two P365s and a Sccy DVG-1 that also holds 10 rounds and is pretty small. Having said that I just picked up an ST9 and an S9. I certainly missed that Kahr trigger.

I'd like to see Kahr innovate beyond P365 clones. We don't need more of those. There was a time when Kahr was like Kel-Tec with higher quality standards. But now it seems their innovating days are over.

Kahr handguns have a lot of catching up to do before they innovate:

Modularity
Capacity
Optic ready

I wonder how many Kahr owners are now dead because they did not have a double stack magazine or Red Dot. Must be in the tens of thousands. I get the feeling I am one of the last standing. I know, I am a dead man walking. Oh well.

I suspect Kahr and their affiliate companies will still be around long after all of us are pushing up daisies or scattered to the winds.
Variety is the spice of life, if a handful of rounds isn't enough or your a spray and pray type, get something else. Easy peasy.

The post topic was will Kahr redesign to catch up with the market? Nobody said anything about needing more capacity, modularity or a red dot, which by the way are all innovations that built on Kahr’s innovative single stack 9.

To anyone who isn’t already pushing up daisies, it’s obvious that the Kahr brand of semi automatic pistols is stale. The world has moved on.

It’s great that Kahr has a loyal following. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a well functioning Kahr but there’s also absolutely nothing a Kahr semi-auto can do that other more innovative pistols can’t do better.

Revolvers still sell strongly. I don’t think Ruger or S&W have changed a whole lot in their revolver offerings in a decade or so.

Speaking of low-capacity carry guns without red dots, that is.
