If the 1911 was new

[k9870]

A week in salt water will deteriorate the barrel on anything. And who cares about working underwater, a bullet travels like 6 inches in water. Also, a double stack, polymer, dao 1911 is almost inconceivable, how would you call it a 1911?

The best thing about KAHR is the 9mm pocket guns. REAL small package, and plenty of firepower, considering most guns that size are .32 and such.

I'm just saying...

Anyway, I seriously hate those little Kahr pocket guns. Sure, with a pocket clip you can carry them as easy as a cheap folding knife (which I do carry), but I can wrap three fingers on it barely, this lack of grip makes the tiny .32 have some good recoil, and without some type of laser, it's hard to shoot accurately with one. It's also only built to last about a 1000 rounds before it craps out, so don't practice too much with it.

Oh, the first one I shot also had a HORRIBLE DAO trigger that took forever to pull and completely threw off aim. My dad was asked to lighten the trigger pull, and he did, but it only made it a little better, because it still wasn't a pleasant gun to shoot. And .32 ACP isn't the best in stopping power, so buy some hollow points or throw some rocks instead.

Uh.... are you sure you're not thinking of a Kel Tec or something? Kahr doesn't even made a .32.

*face palm*

I had just woke up when I wrote that (in the middle of the afternoon, because my sleeping pattern is so messed up). I do mean Kel Tec.

Shit, now I can't remember if I ever shot a Kahr or not...

Summer fuckin' your schedule up too?

[Gunmaster45]

Yep, and my dad pulling my ass out of bed to do manual labor doesn't help either.

The Kahr is supposed to be qite controllable, reviews are positive. The KAHR p9 and pm9 both.

I really like the look of the Kahr T9.

I'm interested in the new Kahr TP45. It's a tad too big for conentianal concealed carry, but it has a lightweight polymer frame that looks like it fits the hand well. It holds 7 + 1 rounds of .45 ACP. I don't like that it is double action only, but the trigger pull is supposedly light and the barrel has an integral feeding ramp that is offset to the left to allow the trigger bar to pass alongside it instead of under it. This allows the axis of the bore to ride lower to the frame. It's said to make controling muzzle flip much easier.

Hard thing to imagine, because many of the firearms today were inspired at least partially by the 1911, and contain many of the same features. Extremely hard question to answer.
