I spent this past weekend "breaking in" my new Kahr MK40. All I can say is WOW! As I mentioned above, this gun is small, but feels natural. It's accuracy is also stunning. Kahr recommends a break in of 200 rounds. I shot 4 boxes of Remington's UMC 180 gr. I also put through several rounds of "Pow'R Ball" in a 135 grain, as that will be what will normally be in both of my clips (this Kahr came with a small carry clip that holds 5 rounds and also the full size that makes shooting easier that holds 6 rounds). The Pow'R Ball rounds were absolutely devastating! I shot a piece of aluminum downspouting and the bullet left a 2" gaping hole!
As mentioned in my first post, reliability was crucial in my decision to purchase this gun. In shooting this gun pretty much continuously all afternoon, I did not experience a single failure, malfunction or jam, etc. I was shooting with a friend and he could not believe the accuracy of this little gun! My best grouping was 5 shots within 1" at about 10 yds. We were both shooting consistent 4 and 5 inch groups at 20 yds. The sights are factory night sights and work well.
Lastly, this gun definitely barks. The gun was still comfortable to shoot after 200 rounds, but it snaps. My wife put a couple of clips through it and really did not enjoy shooting this gun. She much prefers my full size 9mm. She did however manage to keep her 6 rounds within about a 9 inch group at 8 yds.
I am thrilled with this gun as it has met my expectations of purchase.
If anyone has a nice holster recommendation, I would greatly appreciate it. I have learned lots for this forum, so "THANKS"
