Fathers friend had one years ago and got rid of it after about a thousand rounds. Jammed to much he said and sent it back 3 times. He said the problem was never resolved and traded it in for a glock 26. I think several years back Kahr had a bad jamming problem from what some who have owned them have told me but all the recent and many of the owners on the chl board give a pretty good review on them. Also many of them could have been like this guy and put a mag down the pipe and thought it was good to go. Read the manual, Kahr says break in period. The gun is alot tighter then a Glock, S&W etc when new. Almost all semiautos have a slight break in period! Kahrs are just a little longer then most. Like others have said. KAHRS MUST BE BROKEN IN! I wouldn't take a firearm to a chl class without at least 500 rounds through it anyways.
Kahr is a quality firearm that needs to be broken in a little. All my semi autos have had a slight break in period but my 3rd gen Glocks. Only semi auto I ever owned that hasn't jammed yet, knock on wood. I personally like their K9 a lot and would love one (a little pricey) but nice!
Personally I think half the reason people complain about a certain semi auto jamming is because most but not all like glocks, xd, S&W, sig have a pretty good out of the box product that jams very little if properly lubed. So whenever someone gets a few jams in the beginning like the Kahr they call it a piece of junk. Kahr isn't hiding anything from its consumers and are said to have good customer service!
edit: Also while I do like Walthers I would not take a pk380 over a p9 etc. PPS is a awesome single stack 9mm, best I have shoot in polymer frame but a pk380 over a p9 would be a step down for me personally.
