Kahr carry options

Shooting Industry, July, 2005 by Lisa Parsons-Wraith

All Kahr firearms feature nicely rounded edges, making them ideal for inside-the-waistband carry or concealment in a bellyband. They also are light and small enough to be worn in a belt holster, without weighing a woman down or horribly altering her shape. Most women would find the Kahrs a bit heavy and uncomfortable in an ankle holster, but their size would make these pistols easy to conceal in this manner.

A good quality purse holster like Galco's Soltaire also would be a great concealed-carry choice for either the P45 or CW9. This is a soft, hobo-style bag with a wide shoulder strap that helps distribute weight. It has a roomy zippered main storage compartment, zippered front pocket and a pocket on each end for a cell phone and sunglasses.

The side-entry holster compartment is self-contained and has a locking zipper to block unauthorized access. The Soltaire is available in black or brown full-grain leather and measures 8 inches high, 12 inches long and 5 inches wide. The drop at the shoulder is approximately 11 inches. With a suggested retail price of $145, this gun purse is one of Galco's more affordable offerings.

Quality And Reliability

Kahr's reputation for quality and reliability make the CW9 and the P45 great guns to sell to women looking for affordable personal protection. The Kahrs are compact guns with short trigger reaches that make them perfect for women with small hands. The smooth double-action trigger pull and relatively light felt recoil make them popular with lady shooters. For personal protection, whether your customer is looking for serious stopping power or a great bargain, these Kahrs can't be beat.
