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

[3] At age 18, Justin Moon obtained a license to carry a handgun, but he could not find an ultra-compact 9mm pistol with the features he desired, so he designed one himself in his junior year of college.

Now Kahr manufactures Auto-Ordnance's line of semi-automatic weapons, including a long-barreled rifle version of the famous "Tommy Gun".

[5] Kahr introduced its line of compact pistols at a time of significant liberalization of concealed weapons laws in many U.S. states.

These were the so-called "high-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.

This cam simultaneously begins to draw the striker to the rear, compressing the spring behind it, while depressing and deactivating the firing pin block.

Kahr pistols have their feed ramps offset to the left, which allows the trigger draw bar to lie flatter against the right side of the frame.

Kahr Arms is also committed to ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of its firearms through a comprehensive offering of parts and service support.
