I also had a two-tone K40, soft shooter with.40S&W. Also a great gun, until it was wasn’t. The barrel chamber liner unscrewed from the barrel in a range session, jamming the breech open. I called the customer service line and they denied that was possible - “we use one-piece barrels”. I sent them a picture and they sent an RMA, as they were flat-out lying. They repaired the “one-piece” barrel.

I still enjoy the Kahr triggers, but I don’t consider them (1) reliable nor (2) adequately supported to be CCW. YMMV.
I think you would be considered an outlier in the amount you practice with a carry gun.

What you said about the Kahr is almost a repeat of what a British army guy said about the Hi Power. They didn't last through the close protection training he did, so they went to Sigs.
