Kahr 9mm Compatibility

[Sooner79]

Where can I find out what loads (+P, +P+) are compatible in the different Kahr 9mm models? I can't find it on the Kahr website or in the manual.

From Kahr's website Q&A:

Q. Which ammunition is recommended for use with Kahr firearms?

A. Kahr Arms does not endorse any particular brand of ammunition. However, not every brand of ammunition produces the same results. Please check the markings on the barrel hood of your firearm to determine the proper caliber. Kahr suggests a visit to a pistol range to test fire different brands of ammunition in the proper caliber. Kahr cautions against the use of reloads. Lead (unjacketed) bullets can cause excessive fouling and extra attention to cleaning the bore is recommended after firing lead bullets. The Kahr pistol is rated to +P.

Kahr pistols aren't rated for any +P+, you blow the side panel out. Not on every shot, but it will happen. Stick to a high end +p for your carry rounds. A 9mm Kahr should feed about anything, hornady HP was the only thin I had a problem with.

Part of the issue is that +P+ has no standard.
