I went to a local gun store yesterday with the intent of buying a Kahr P40, as they were on "clearence", however, when I got there, they were sold out. Anyway, I drove to another store, and looked at all of the used / trade in stuff (my favorite counter) and spotted a KT P40, for $289. I thought...

Thanks, from what I have heard, most of the all steel Kahrs have no problems at all, which is why I was looking at a K9, but with this clearence sale on the P40, I'm not sure I can pass it up, I just wanted some first hand info from owners of the polymer framed guns to see if Kahr has ironed out...

A local dealer is having a "clearance" on Kahr P40's for a really good price. I have read of some problems with Kahr's polymer framed guns in the past, but am wondering if these have been ironed out. I want to buy one of these, I just don't want to invest in a problem. Any thoughts or...

I remember hearing awhile back that the S&W PC had a 9mm cylinder availabler for j frames, but cannot locate anything on the web sight. If such an item exists, I would like to see about getting one for my 642. Any help would be greatly appreciated, if someone could point me in a direction.

Pocket defender plus for a Kel-Tec P3AT.

911 is for emergency's, once you and your daughter were inside the house you were safe. I would simply suggest that you should have found the non-emergency number for your local law enforcement, but thats just a pet -peeve of mine. Having said that, I think you handled the situation appropriately.

need a BUG: taurus vs S&W I am looking for backup gun to carry on duty. I am trying to decide between a taurus 905 and a S&W 637/642. My duty weapon is a Sig 226 in 9mm, so the 905 sounds good because it would use the same ammo as my duty gun. I spoke with my usual dealer and he told my...

Hey marcus, is the 4053 a single stack? If so what are the dimensions of it? I saw that KYimports has them for $289, is that the one you got?

Thanks for all the info so far. Regarding the Sig's, I already have a 226 that I absolutely love. The only 225 I put my hands on had a trigger pull that felt like it was close to 20lbs...no kidding, maybe it was just a bad example, or poorly taken care of. Keep the replies coming, you guys...

I am in the market for a new carry gun. I mainly carry inside the waistband so I am looking for a single stack, and I already have several 9mm's, so I really don't want to stock another caliber. I have mainly been looking at the kahr K9 or the S&W 3913 (pre TSW) / 908s. If someone could post...

Where in Gaffney is that range? Is it a private range or is it open to the public? This is the first I have heard of a range in Gaffney, thanks for the info.

m. i. sanders, I live in the upstate as well, just curious as to what range you were headed to. There seem to be very few in this area, and I'm always looking for somewhere closer to home to shoot. Anyway, enjoy the new 1911. Shoot well.

The 59 series mags are 15rds and the 69 series mags are 12rds. I don't have any first hand experience with the S&W mags in a P-11, but check this link. http://1bad69.com/keltec/sw12.htm There are reports that only factory S&W mags are reliable in the P-11. Hope this helps.

Many holster makers that make IWB holsters also make them in a "tuckable" version, which would allow you to tuck your shirt in over the gun. Perhaps you could pocket carry if the pockets of your dockers are roomy enough. A third option would be the "thunderwear" type of hoster, but I'm not a...

I seem to have been bitten by the J frame bug!! I've looked at the 442 and 642, and like the enclosed hammer, but the dealers in this area seem to have gotten at deal on the 637's and are selling them for ~$350. I seem to remember reading that the hammer spur could be dremmeled off, is that...
