Have seen them at shows for $350 - $375, but that may have been used.austinrealtor wrote:Really? Mid $300s for a Kahr CW? I thought those were $425 - $475 range?
To stay on topic, I personally don't care who owns a business, and if I want their product, I will buy from them as long as the funds are not used to finance illegal activities. If you start trying to dig into every corporate background out there to determine if they are doing something in the gray, they you will either waste a ton of time and energy to not uncover anything, or never end up getting to buy it because you can't find a company that is not questionable.
I own both Kahr and Glock firearms. Justin Moon (son of Sun Myung Moon) is the CEO of Kahr and the lead design engineer. Rev. Moon helped finance the business initially. He probably felt it was a good investment, and from the fact they are still in a profitable business, apparently he was right.
Glock is VERY large International company and have been around for quite a few years. I can tell you that any time you do business with large companies, especially International ones, unless they have extreme oversight processes in place, there may be areas things that don't get handled properly, especially in finance. Many times these are just mistakes made accidentally with no intent of fraud or scrupulous practices. The companies scramble to correct them and move on. No harm no foul.
GM had issues and had to be bailed out. The banks had to bailed out. Am I gonna drop them like a hot potato? Probably not. If they meet my needs and have a quality product I want at a reasonable price, then I will buy from them.
Bottom line, I buy what I want, try to be a good citizen (go green, eco-friendly, buy American made, etc.), and let the rest fall as it may.
