Conceale and carry Guns??
What are some good choices of guns for conceal and carry , and has anyone ever had or shot a pistol made by KAHR ARMS ??????

There is no simple answer to the question. You have to go out and handle the different guns out there. You need to find that one that fits your hand the best. That is the gun you will most likely shoot the best.
Granted, it's not as simple as that. However, you do need to not only think of how well the gun fits you, but how well you can handle the recoil of the given calibers. Different guns are easier/harder to control than others. Even the same guns vary with different ammunition types for the same caliber. Basically, if you can go to the range with someone who has shot handguns, and rent/use different ones you can get a feel for them pretty quick. You will learn a lot quickly with the right instructor. Oh, and this may seem strange, but getting a .22 LR pistol/revolver to practice with will help out your mechanics a lot. Getting two handguns to begin with actually makes a lot of sense. I have never heard of Kaha Arms either. Are you referring to Kahr Arms? If so, they make a good product. Do not tie yourself to one manufacturer. Go and handle them. Keep an open mind, and you will have fewer regrets when you buy your first gun. I'm a revolver kind of guy. I went with a S&W 327 TRR8 so I would have an 8 shot revolver vs a 5 or 6 shot one. Mine is also full sized which means I can use it for other purposes. It's also easy enough to hide. |
I think this is who your are talking about.

I just picked up a Sig P232. It's a .380 ACP, well built and shoots great. It's easy to disassemble for cleaning and is light weight. It's my preferred BUG at this time. For regular carry, I mostly use a Ruger SP101 (with Trausch grips and XS Big Dot front site) in .357 mag.

I carry a Taurus 606 .357 Mag Revolver. A lot of people bash Taurus but for me it was the most comfortable and best shooting. Ive got well over 1000 rounds without an issue.
I agree with Sfury about the .22, I bught a S&W 22a for plinking and it has been a blast. Plus is dirt cheap so it doesnt cost a lot to get in training. Just remember, its all about muscle memory. When draw you gun you should know where its going to shoot even without aiming. (Atleast that what they tell me in all my self defense shooting classes) I am pretty accurate on a quick draw since Ive been practicing. |
youll find as many recommendations as guns made lol, but after 20 years of carrying what works for me is several different guns that i carry in different setups. Weight is important, ive found i dont like guns that weigh much more over 20oz....so I primarily carry a glock 27, a keltecp11, smith&wesson jframe 38, and a taurus milpro45. I always have a keltec32 in my pocket. Those are all great carry guns, and youll find many others out there, sig, hk's (little expensive), kahrs etc.
In searching for a carry gun for my girlfriend we shot a bunch of different guns, and that was my first experince with Kahr's. Lots of people like them, but personally i didnt like how it shoots, the thin frame puts the recoil in a very concentrated spot and its not much fun to shoot. Of course you wont be shooting your carry gun that much probably, just enough to get comfortable with and then every so often to stay in tune, but it still wasnt for her (or me). Hope this helps |
I carried a Steyr M-40 for years but just last year I switched over to a S&W M&P compact 40. But every once in a while I will carry a 2" 357 revolver of a full sized 1911 .45. Normally though the 1911 is when I am open carry which is legal in PA.

guess im the only on gonna say glock 27 40cal.

Whatever is easily concealable and comfortable to you. As mentioned earlier, weight is the biggest negative factor in my opinion. My most common carry guns are: 1a) Colt Defender in .45 ACP...all the knockdown you could ask for, yet still light enough not to be cumbersome to me, and 1b) Sig P238...1911 format in .380 ACP...light as it gets, great shooter and you can hide it even if you're out in your boxers.

My wife carries a Kahr CW40 in .40 and loves it! Nice fit and finish, American Made, great trigger and it shoots very nicely. She also has a Kahr CW9 in 9mm that she started on and moved up to the CW40. She loves them both.
I have carried several different guns over the years...Mostly carry my Sig 226 in .40 or my Browning Hi-Power in 40 anymore...but also have a Colt Army in .45, a couple Beretta 92's in 9mm, a Karh CW40 in .40 and a couple others...the Kahr is a great choice IMO. |
