Kahr
Just joined .. first post.
When I took my CCW instruction and test, it was with a prior SS agent and now SWAT trainer for several counties in my area, and a duputy in two.
I had a 380 and he suggested something more powerful. I explained and showed him my hand injury (military). He said he could find something I could handle and at the break we went to his SUV, where he broke out about 20 handguns.
Now standing on the street looking at hand guns is fun, but I said it was wierd. He pulled his vest back and the two star shields showed. So it is OK when with a law man!!!!
We tried a few of the more well known in several calibers and then he went for the Kahr. It was right up my alley and I bought a K9. I rejected the polymer going for the matte stainless steel. I have never thought it was heavy and I have put over 1,800 rounds through it, about 250 at a time, with one hung up rejected case early on.
I have the greatest belt holster and can carry all day with out any problems. I carry when ever I leave the ranch ... family, friends, town, meetings ... every where I can. Only a few people even know I have a CC permit or carry. It has been about 2 years now since Missouri passed it and it took some time to handle hugs, embraces by aunts and the like, and still learning. The wardrobe certainly changed and still looking for wear out of trouser shirts with snaps (not buttons ... hand injury). Long jean jackets, long leather vests, shirts my wife turns into straight cut bottoms, and photographers vests have all found their way into my closet.
I do not like IWB holsters or deep carry but am considering a paddle holster when I do not have time to change belt holster to new trousers. Any suggestions here?
