Unfortunately, sales popularity is no indication, as the Tarus Judge broke all handgun sales records.

By all means get the KKM if you want it, but here's a couple of tips from the OK competitors.
1. How accurate is the gun now? Not what you can manage in a USPSA match, but the basic gun accuracy?
2. If accuracy is lacking with all brands of quality ammo, what is causing it? Suggest a qualified person check the entire gun for a misfit: it might be the slide, not the barrel.
3. Don't just drop a KKM in the gun and expect improvement. Have it fit correctly.
4. Expect to use ammo that produces the desired accuracy and reliability in the new setup, and it probably will not be the cheapest.
If you plan to use white box ammo, forget the KKM. One of our shooters put in a tight-chambered KKM and found it would not feed his favorite ammo, so he had the chamber jugged out to improve feeding......
