Who else wants a double stack Kahr?

[DavidR]

Okay I’ll say it nicely - some people have confused disappointment with bashing and a desire for Kahr to fail. It’s simply not true and people should stop repeating the same nonsense over and over.

I agree. It's called being defensive on the part of some. No one hoped Kahr would fail, and we all are here because we love their product. Stating the facts about their numbers, talking about the objective factual state of the brand, and stating facts along with options about what went wrong or what should happen to keep the brand going is not bashing or wishing for the company to fail...

I am a fan of Kahr, but I'm not such a fanboy where I get offended when a fact based discussion about the company is being had in only one thread out of the plothera of pro Kahr threads on the forum. With that said, I personally will not bring anything up anymore, and will only ever report positive news about the brand going forward.

Lol, Look who is offended now. Hey, I respect your opinion, how about doing the same. Have a nice day.

I can't help but wonder if Kahr doesn't want to be a big player and is content being the small niche market supplier they are now rather than get lost in the plethora of competitors offerings. Which I guess aren't really competitors with double stacks and higher round counts. All good things if a person feels the need for those things.
Could also be they are focusing more on Auto Ordnance, Thompson and Magnum Research which are now under their umbrella.
We can only speculate on the logic or lack there of in Kahrs business plan.

This makes a lot of sense.

Well said!
Personally, I have always considered Kahr to be a niche market to begin with Much like a Custom shop. Never put them into a class like Ruger, Smith etc. Most John Public will not even know what a Kahr is. Those that have been around enough, familiar with them will buy one for the most part. If not just buy a Ruger, Smith or Sig. How many small specialty manufacturers are still dong business? A lot of them. And I do not think any of them want to be Ruger. The idea that Kahr, Magnum Research etc are under one roof makes a lot of sense.

I'm not about to write Kahr's obituary. But I do hope they bring out some innovation that is relevant to the market. And I wish they would do a better job f parts support. Having come into some more mags recently, I've been wanting more steel mag bases, and they're no longer listed on their website. Sights are also very limited. That's not encouraging. I still think Kahrs have the best trigger system for concealed carry on the market, but it's hard to recommend them when they don't keep up with anything else the market otherwise wants. I can tell people I think so much of my P9 that I spent $200 to make it RDS ready, but that doesn't impress anyone who doesn't already have a Kahr. I hope the big news isn't disappointing.

Another post of the New Flex. Someone mentioned a slim grip, I would say this gun is about as good as it is going to get. 1". Cut for Red Dot, nice serrations, easy racking and most of all a 15 rd magazine. Just think, carry 2 spars and you have 46 rounds for a Micro 9mm. Should be enough for most. (but then again maybe not)

The thing I don't like about that Reflex is that they say it's single action - and it has no external safety. I didn't buy a Sig P320 X10 specifically because the SA trigger is so good but it has no external safety (I prefer thumb over trigger safety). I like the 365xl with thumb safety for the same reason. And it holds 12-15 rounds (not that I care much about that). If you're going without a frame mounted thumb safety, the best system IMO is a nice smooth DAO like the Kahr.
