Kahr K40



This gun is a Kahr Arms K40 pistol.  I bought this gun used, so it shows a little wear and a few scratches.  After four years of using this gun, I decided to add some Trijicon tritium night sights, but other than that, it remains pretty much as I bought it.  This little gun is really small, but it packs a serious punch.  It comes from the factory with Hogue recoil-absorbing grips installed, but the gun still becomes uncomfortable to shoot after 50 rounds or so.  However, it is extremely accurate, and it hits exactly where I aim.  My one complaint about this thing is that it's a real pain to field strip.  The recoil spring is monsterously powerful and you have to somehow fight against that while simultaneously pounding the takedown pin with a mallet.  Other than that, this is a great personal defense pistol.
