Your carry guns?

It's bit on the heavy side. But a good belt definitely helps.

I shoot thumbs forward with my semi-autos. Crossed thumbs with revolvers.

I've always thought those Kahrs were neat, but I never hear anything about them

How reliable is it, how well does it handle, and how well does it conceal?

My brother is going to get a Glock when he turns 21.

I have an XDM 3.8 Compact in 9mm as my profile shows.

I've only got about 50 rounds through it. Mostly ball, but did shoot two mags of Golden Saber HPs. No function issues. It did seem to chamber better with the slide locked back vs trying to chamber it with the slide forward. It handles well for it's size. It being a 9mm it's not going to conceal as easy as a .380, but I can pocket carry it.

Ive heard you need to use slide stop on kahr as racking may cause jams, any thruth to this?

Pretty much. When racking it, it will basically lock itself back.

Not sure about it when reloading. I've gotten used to using the slide release.

For me, it depends on the gun I am using. My 1911 has a pretty standard slide release, so I would have a problem getting to it. So for that gun, I use power stroke like when I first load up an empty gun to reinforce repetition. For my XDM, the slide release is big and positioned closer to your thumb and you can easily press it down.
