Kahr Arms is the company that produces Kahr Handguns and by far, they are one of the companies in America that offers the most compact handguns available today.
It all started with Justin Moon who, at age 14 acquired the pleasure of shooting guns and by age 18 he got a license to carry a handgun. However, he was still not happy with the small calibers available in compact handguns and he wanted to have an ultra compact 9mm pistol with quality construction and great design features. He didn’t want to wait so he designed an ultra compact 9mm pistol during his junior year in college.
Justin Moon is current the CEO and President of Kahr Arms which is owned by the Saeilo Corporation, a subsidiary of Tongil Group.
Kahr handguns are great to carry around because of the portability they provide, being compact is what they do best and the design layout of the handgun is superb.
The Kahr action is a Browning locked-breech design featuring a striker-operated firing pin with a passive firing pin safety, making it a true hammerless action. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar begins to rotate a double-lobed cocking cam. This cam simultaneously begins to draw the striker to the rear, compressing the spring behind it, while depressing and deactivating the firing pin block. At the end of the trigger’s travel, the lobe contacting the striker slips off the striker and releases it; the other lobe has, by this point, completely depressed the firing pin block and permitted the striker to snap forward and strike the primer. This single piece takes the place of more complicated and fragile designs employed in other pistols. It is similar in principle, though very different in execution, to the action design of Glocks. It also allows the firing pin block to be located further to the rear of the slide and therefore further from possible contamination by combustion gases and powder fouling. For this innovation, Justin Moon was awarded one of the five patents he owns on the Kahr pistol design. This system is employed on all Kahr pistols, regardless of frame material, size, or caliber.
Kahr handguns are most commonly known as pocket pistols that a lot of ladies have preferred because of its compact design that can easily be hidden in their purse. Ladies too need protection and they can easily find it in this easy to use ultra-compact pistol.
