Concealed Carry Gun?
#81

I used to carry a 1911 .45 in a horizontal rig when I was wearing either a jacket or sport coat on the job. Before I retired I switched to my Kahr MK .40 on my hip and it is still the gun I carry the most. When in shorts and a T-shirt I usually slip my American Derringer in .45 Colt into my right shorts pocket and a few shells into my other pocket.

I don't carry much but I'll never forget when the Ferguson MO stuff was going on and my mother in law had to be taken through there for cancer treatments and I had to ride along armed and ready to shoot every time.
Sad when you have to do that to get somebody their cancer treatments.

I really like mine. The MK 40 is all steel, not just the slide but frame and all, and it really shoots well. I had to qualify last month in order to keep my retired LE officer National carry privilege, we shoot from 3 yards back to 25 yards. Even with 70 YO eyes I shot a group about the size of a saucer. I put a Crimson Trace grips on it but I rarely use the laser, I got it mainly for low light situations.The gun really saved my bacon when that wounded boar charged me in Feb. No pun intended. They should have called out the National Guard and ended that nonsense with the thugs in Ferguson by whatever means necessary.

I looked on the trigger pull and there isn't much that's definitive. Plenty of comments on the smoothness of the pull but not so much on the wight of the pull. I hate DA pulls in general but especially long ones. Guess I'm gonna have to handle one at the local gun store and see how it feels. I do like the compactness, finish and apparent fit though.

The trigger pull is pretty good, not as good as my 686 revolver but for a double action striker gun it is not bad, similar to a Glock. I don't know if they can be worked on or not. If you can find a store that sells them pick one up and dry fire it, that is what I did before I purchased mine.

I like small, plenty of shots, plenty of power at short range, and reliability.
I get all that with the kel tec but I'm not opposed to also having a great trigger.
I talk down the Kel tec but there is a reason I use it. Its pretty impressive that you get 10 40S&W down range out of something that small.....Fingers are usually bleeding a little afterwords but it sure gets it done.

If it's close to a Glock, I'm golden. Pretty much all of my training with pistols has been geared towards gun fighting, whether it's for duty (mostly) or off-duty (CCW). I know what works for me, managed to prove it in one gunfight and just won't relent from that standard. From what you guys have posted, I think this Kahr pistol bears further checking and consideration.
