Kook-jin Moon

[1] In 1993, Moon founded Kahr Arms, choosing the name to be suggestive of two of his affections: German engineering and fast cars.

Kahr pistols feature polymer or stainless steel frames, single-stack magazines, and double-action striker firing actions.

These were the so-called "hi-capacity" magazines, which again became legal to manufacture and import in most states in September 2004, after the relevant federal law expired.

This change in federal law rendered many staggered-magazine pistol models (commonly with magazine capacities of 15 or more rounds) less popular in the American market.

Among Tongil Group's chief holdings are The Ilwha Company, which produces ginseng and related products; Ilshin Stone, building materials; Tongil Heavy Industries, machine parts including hardware for the South Korean military; and Segye Ilbo, newspaper.

It funds the Tongil Foundation, which supports Unification Church projects, including schools and the Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet of Korea.

[7] In 2012 Moon spoke at a conference advocating closer relations between the United States, South Korea, Japan, and other nations in curbing the growing military power of China.
