what's your preferred defensive load?
Actually I have had zero issues with any of the different ammo I've shot and I've tried a half dozen brand/types. Currently Hornady 147 tap rides in the mag. Oh the only issue it had was when my 12 year old was attempting to shoot it for his first time, he seemed to bump the mag release somehow. I still haven't been able to replicate that move though. I'd guess 500+/- rounds down the pipe.

I like it.

Of course, you may already know that. If so, disregard.

It looks NICE! Enjoy.
I've heard that about Kahr's before. I'm not in any hurry, I have several carry weapons that have gone through 500+ rounds of hollow point in a sitting without issues and until it's proven equally reliable, it'll be a range toy. I took it down for it's first shoot today. I wasn't shooting well but it was. It was snappier than I expected, I thought the metal frame would mellow it more.

There were a couple rounds out of about 50-which fed perfectly but the hammer wasn't cocked for the next round. I suspect it was my fault from being sloppy on the trigger and having it half depressed after it fired. I was doing that with my AR-22 and causing myself some issues so I think that's a very, very good hypothesis. I plan to take it down for 50 or so rounds of WWB a day for the next couple weeks to get used to it and see where it goes. If it makes it through that, it's time for some DoubleTap hollow points!

If it makes it to a carry gun, it'll definitely have an identical twin in 40 S&W just in case I need a backup. Probably a fraternal twin in 9mm also, though I'm considering bagging 9mm and sticking to .357 and 40 S&W. Nothing against 9mm, just I've got too much ammo here

If you shoot 6.8 and don't reload. then save your brass and sell it. It will cut the cost of your ammo!!!!!!!!!!

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

It is a pretty pistol zippy, I'm sure everyone feels so sorry for you having to spend so much time with it at the range...
Chortle, good luck and enjoy your new toy that followed you home!

I like the looks of it. I don't know anything about Kahr's. I like it though. What is your system for breaking in a pistol? I have a couple to break in and not sure how to do it. I wouldn't mind having one in 9mm.
