I did not realize there was a a religious element in the manufacture and profits of Kahr.
spend an extra $200 buck on a Kimber or choose another from the list provided by Pollster1.
I have plenty of guns from a wide variety of manufacturers but I can guarantee you my grab gun will be the Kimbers. I love them.
Second runner up is the Colt but I haven’t done more than clean it in a few years.
My brother prefer Keltec, XD and HK in .40.
Understand, I shoot .45 in all my self defense semi-autos, except the varied .38’s I have and some .22’s. Just my thing.
I shoot a lot of .22 and air pistol (at least a hundred rounds a day), as well as perhaps 50 rounds of .45 a week. The thing that matters is choosing the right gun for your situation. At a moderately heavy volume, the price per round matters, not to mention the convenience of shooting .22 and air pistol at home with the right facilities. I'm not a fan of the intermediate calibers, but others like getting more bang than a .22 without getting beat up as many people feel from shooting the .45. In a self-defense situation, I want the other guy to go down on my first shot with a .45, not eventually that day with a .38 or 9mm.
