Kahr did have a problem with peened barrels/slides back some years ago. After I had it fixed I got with the guy I bought it from and, like I figured, he didn't know there was anything wrong with it. Told me he shot 100 rounds through it right before putting it up for sale, just to make sure it worked.

I took it to the range yesterday and ran 50 through it. Ran like a Swiss watch. I know what you mean about steel guns. I used to say I'd never own a plastic gun, until a buddy got me to shoot his G-23 Glock .40 one day. It was love at first magazine. Up until then I had a 4" S&W 44 mag model 29 in the glove compartment all the time, didn't CCW back then. These polymer frame semi-autos are great for concealed carry. I still like the revolvers to shoot once in awhile, and the all steel guns, but with the old age and osteoarthritis kicking in, the lighter weight pistols are what I carry nowadays.
I can damn sure relate to that......

That's why I prefer the heavier pistols to help tame the recoil a bit.

Downside is 2.5 lbs of steel on your hip in an IWB holster is a bit of a pain.

I deal with it. Been thinking of startin to carry a few extra mags for that 1911 to offset some of the load.
