this is kind of a neat little gun but way way too expensive to be successful.

It is a neat looking little pistol. I think you're right, at twice the weight, and twice the price of the competition, not likely to be a big seller!

Unless you have small hands it will take skin off during firing.  Grap one at a gun shop or show and see for yourself.  The web of your hand sticks up in the way of the slide.  The first one I found at a show and held the guy showed me and sayed its not for you and then showed me his hand and said he fired it exactly one time and is now selling it.

I would say, if you ever have to use it, you won't care about your hand.  Larry

My dealer said he shot one at an expo and said it is much nicer to shoot than the little Ruger. I suppose the extra weight makes it more controllable. If I were in the market for a pocket sized .380 it would probably be on my short list.

I looked at one for a minute...it's pretty heavy, and sorta fugly.  I figgered I'd wait and see what others thought before I dropped that kind of $$$.  I don't like the fact that it'll bite the hand that feeds it.  I think the little Kahr is gonna be a nice little pistol, if someone wants to spend twice what a LCP or P3AT costs.

I would have liked to have had a Kahr as well but did not want to wait until they came out and did not want to pay double the price of a kel tech either.  Could not find a kel tech at the time and found a lcp not long after they came out and took it home.  I can not complain  it has feed 8 different types of ammo.  Never a jam, never a failure to feed.  Only problem, was the recall but that was not to bad.  I would buy another one too if I can ever get this one worn out.
