I have owned several Kahr pistols, and I didn't have any problems with mine...but I don't own them now for two reasons:

1) I didn't like the recommend "prep work" to make them run right, instead of just taking them out of the box, cleaning them, and firing them.

2) Kahr no longer offers a lifetime warranty; it is now 5 years.

I don't want to own guns made by a company that doesn't have enough faith in their own product to offer a lifetime warranty. The one exception: Ruger doesn't have a stated warranty, but they have a well-documented history of taking care of their customers regardless of any stated warranty.

I have never had to make modifications to my S&W magazines so they will work. I have never had to fire hundreds of rounds through my S&Ws before they are considered reliable by the company. (Might as well buy a Kimber instead... )

I'm glad if Kahr owners like and enjoy their guns...I would hope that for everyone, regardless of brand. I am just stating my reasons and preferences. YMMV
