One of the advantages of the Kahr is how slim it is.
But, nothing beats realiability. I dont own any range guns. Only carry or real world use-

I will say I haven't fired the Kahr in 45, however I do own a Kahr in 9mm and have carried it personally on the job as a back up and put over a thousand rounds through it with 0 malfunctions. With that being said I will say the guys I know who tried the Kahr in 45 said the recoil was significant, but that's a trade off for the concealability. As for reliability, again I've had no trouble with mine.
I have heard guys who say they know guys who had issues with Kahrs but I have yet to meet one who's had issues with them that I could verify knew how to shoot. What you'll find with Glocks and I would guess with Kahr's as well, is that if you limp wrist the gun it will jam allot, which may be why some folks have issues with them, I haven't tested this theory on the Kahr as I don't shoot limp wristed, but I have seen it many, many times our range with Glocks, both models 21 and 36, usually with rookie cops with very little trigger time.
Just something to consider.
