As the slide goes into battery, the barrel and slide are locked together as the barrel hood moves up into the ejection port.
A recoil spring, located on a full-length guide rod under the barrel, pulls the slide forward, stripping a round from the magazine and chambering it.
Upon firing, the slide moves rearward and a cam on the barrel lug pulls the barrel down, unlocking it from the slide, which continues rearward, extracting and ejecting the spent case. Kahr does offer several models with an external thumb safety and/or loaded-chamber indicator so as to be able to sell their products in states that require such devices.īreech locking is accomplished via the barrel hood bearing on the front edge of the ejection port. There is also an absence of external safety devices on almost all Kahr pistols, which gives them a snag-free exterior, a very nice feature for a concealed-carry pistol. Kahr offers the customer a choice of a metal or polymer frame on their pistols. The triggers on the Kahr pistols I have fired were all smooth, relatively light and stage free. The smooth, light and stage-free stroke is accomplished by means of a system in which a trigger stroke of approximately 0.7 inches rotates a cam that unlocks the spring-loaded striker safety, drawing the striker to full-cock position before releasing it to fire a cartridge. I feel that the DAO trigger on Kahr pistols is one of the primary reasons for their popularity. In my opinion, some of the most user friendly of the double-action-only (DAO) pistols on today’s market are made by the Kahr Arms.
