Kahr Cases

[downtownv]

Why is it the company that is on the higher end of quality and price makes such a CRAPPY, CHEAP-LOOKING Case?
Short of a cardboard box, you'd think you were buying a Saturday night special.
Your thoughts?

[zamboni]

I thought the same thing when I bought my first kahr...and second. Mine don't sit in the case much so doesn't really bother me. I would rather have a quality gun and cheap case, than vice versa.

[ORSalesRep]

I don't think anything is wrong with the cases. They are right on par with my Kimber and FN Herstal firearms. My Wilson Combat came with a soft sided nylon range case. My Kruger LCR was a cardboard box. Not quite sure you are expecting from a case. I agree with the fact that I would rather have a quality firearm and average case rather than the other way around. You are going to get a Kahr for under a grand, what would you like to be different about the case? Even spending $3500.00 - $4500.00 on a Wilson Combat 1911 doesn't get you a case that will blow your hair back. The gun however will! :)

[Bawanna]

Wow, I know three people now that have Wilson's. Two I've never met but I still know em right.

Someday my Wilson will come in. Been waiting for my ship my whole life, tired of waiting so now I'll wait for a Wilson.

[jocko]

they could knock offr 10 bucks and hand me my kahr in a brown paper bag and It would befine. My PM9 has never been back in that plymer box since I bopught it. That fokking box won't fit in my front pocket. Just sayin.

[ripley16]

At least the case is a good size. I can't stand the oversized behemoths some brands use. HK uses a compact size usually as well. I like the small size. The Kahr foam cases are OK, or at least a bit nicer than the hard plastic ones.

LOL. I don't want the ladies to start asking me, "Is that a Kahr box in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?":D

something new as my two kahr cases are hard plastic, no more no less.

[jocko]

wouldn't break my heart if they ask me that!!!!!

[yqtszhj]

My Kahr and Beretta 92 cases were both the same plastic and I thought it was nice. Talk about cheap, I had 2 Colts I bought in the 80's and they came in a cardboard box with styrofoam inserts. Now that was cheap. My LCP came in a cardboard box too.

None of them live in the box now.

[air8]

My thoughts, as long as it gets to an FFL safely and not all banged up. That's all that matters.

The XDM's do have a pretty awesome Pelican type case, like mine came with, but ya know that is part of the price. They aren't too much more than comparative guns...but they are more.

[JFootin]

My new S&W 638 came in a cardboard box, a shipping container not really intended to be used after opened. But the Budischowsky TP-70 that I formerly owned came in a tiny cardboard box that was just barely big enough for the gun and the owner's manual to fit in it.

Bawanna, sell overpriced OR equipment and you can get a Wilson too! LMAO
Sig Cases are lockable, have a carry Handle and room for extra Mags! Just Sayin'

[1slinginlead2]

I like the way Sig packages their pistols. Not that i can afford one.

MEH.......
Packaging concerns...
Get an XDM

CCW...
Get the Kahr

That said... I do keep the boxes in the rare case I sell one....
But the boxes live in the garage...

What's the saying? "I spend 90% of my money on guns, motorcylces and women. The other 10% I just waste."

[Zippo Guy]

I have no complaints about their case. It is better than most. If that is all you have to complain about, then you are lucky.

[Bawanna]

What is a box really? A vessel to contain the very heart and soul (along with some literature and maybe a few goodies) of the firearm that will generally last a life time with loving devotion with minimal upkeep and zero back sass.
At what price and what quality do we draw the line between just a box and a treasure chest.
Do we keep the box as a reminder of the glorious day we first opened it and began our relationship with our new weapon. Are we only in the box saving business for the money and not the relationship? Can a man or a woman have a relationship with a firearm. Can a man or a woman have a relationship with a box.. The answer......YES WE CAN!

I save all boxes and packaging, usually in my man cave but reach a point where a few have to live in the garage, heavy sigh.
Not that I love one cardboard box more than another, not that I love a pistol box more than a rifle box, oily paper and moisture packets matter little to me, I have open relationships with all my boxes.

I think my boxes welcome new boxes with open flaps and strapping tape. I think that when it's time for the river crossing on the off chance that I come back as something else, I want to be a gun Box.

I've never sold OR equipment but I've undoubtedly paid for some.

Every man should have at least one Wilson before the judgement day.

My S&W 629, and Springfield Armory 1911, and LC9 all came in cardboard boxes. I was particularly pissed about the S&W. Damned cardboard box for a $700 revolver.
I thought the Kahr cases were okay, The newer S&W cases are nicer though.
Like Jocko says, my guns rarely spend time in the box they came in. They're usually in a holster, pocket, car console, or in a drawer by my bed, or my gun locker. I like those Remora holsters for storing a gun in a drawer, They protect most of your gun, yet they don't seem to trap moisture like leather and some of those gun rugs and slip right off your gun if you need it.

[Cokeman]

I thought Smiths came in those blue cases.

I wouldn't mind if my pistols all came in a case like this. They fit in the range bag better.

Back in the mid70's and early 80's I bought a few N frame Smiths that came in wood presentation box with cleaning rod and some kind of long fiber cleaning patch. I suppose if you want to show the gun on display that was a nice case to do so. IMO the Kahr case is adequate but nothing more but I love my Kahr's.

Yeah, I do too, especially the latches. The Kimber case is similar but they must have one case to fit everything. My UC 3 inch was swallowed by a huge case. The 3 inch STI, on the other hand, came in a case I could almost slip in my pocket. I like the Kahr foam cases, but it wasn't until my seventh Kahr that I got one.

All my Smith's came in the blue case and I've had a bunch.

[Ken_K]

My Kahr will never see the inside of it's case again. It's either on me or in my foam padded "Fun Box". It has enough room for all three of my pistols on top and all the magazines below. My SR1911 came in a white box but included a padded soft carrying case. Personally, if that's how my Kahr would have came I would have been just as happy.

[Armybrat]

Kinda odd - the case my new CW45 came in is exactly the same size as the one I got with my early PM9 years ago.

And the CW45 doesn't fit in it very well, particulary with the 7 round magazine.

Would druther have a Kahr rug with pockets for a couple extra mags.

My first six Kahrs from PM9 to CW45 all came with the same case - the CW40 and 45 don't fit well. Another example of one size fits all - NOT. My seventh and latest Kahr, a MK40, came with the foam case which works quite well.

[getsome]

Heck forget the gun, I want one of those "Foam Padded Fun Boxes" like Ken K has....That might be just the ticket for one of those long lonely nights with nothing else better to do!!!...:p......:banplease:

[muggsy]

I didn't buy my Kahr to keep it in a box. I bought it to keep it in my waistband.

[Cokeman]

Fun box?

[Armybrat]

I didn't buy my Kahr to keep it in a box. I bought it to keep it in my waistband.

I use several guns in my carry rotation.

[jimbar]

My CW9 came in a nice black plastic box, my Ruger Vaquero came in a nice grey plastic box, my Ruger SR1911 came in a nice cardboard box,....all of which reside in my closet with all the paperwork, just in case I wanted to sell one. Whoaaa, did I say "sell" ? Not in to sellin', just buying and keeping.
I promptly bought nice padded zipper cases for all my handguns. They're either in them, or in the range bag, or strapped on me, not in a fancy case.
