I've been accused of being a Kahr Fanboy. I'm sure I sound like one from time to time. But I think there is a line that separates someone who really likes something from a fanboy. That line is where you think everyone who disagrees with you is wrong...and are quick to point it out...or even argue about it. Cross that line and you are, IMO, a fanboy.
This site is full a members with a great appreciation for Kahr Arms. But no fanboys that I can think of. Everyone here really respects other fine firearms and the shooters who own them.
Great place = Kahrtalk. Agree?

I agree, I wouldn't have been here this long if it was full of "Fanboys".
The respect of each other we see on this site and mostly the usually patient treatment of newbies with the same old questions that I like the most.
Kahrtalk is a great place to spend few moments on everyday.

If you want to experience REAL fan boys, go to the HK site. You are not allowed to talk about any other firearms on the site. You are definitely not allowed to say anything against HK firearms period. Many sites do not have a section to talk about other firearms. I own HK firearms, and believe them to be one of the best, but the shear snobbery that goes on keeps me from ever going to any HK site. I've experienced this first hand, and have been kicked off of other sites for just these reasons. I have been to many, many sites, and this is the best by far. I'm talking S&W, Ruger, HK, and some other sites that are more single firearm exclusive. We are talking human beings here, and there are just too many sites that allow people to be called everything in the book if they go against their brand. Ridiculous. Kahr may or may not be the best, but the people are.

I'm tearing up a little bit here. There are indeed way too many extremely fine firearms out there and so many different firearms personal taste to just love one individual brand.
Yall will probably hate me for saying this but I've recently been pondering the purchase of another :behindsofa: Glock. I mean even they need some love right?
I'll of course try to fight the urge so don't put a contract out on me yet. I guess having 40 of them to babysit here at work I know them better than most others I prefer. I'm not afraid to rip one apart limb from limb and know how to put it back together, of course in 10 minutes I could teach my 3 year old granddaughter how to do it so really not a big feather in me bonnet.

Thats a safe full of joy in .45 right there. Whats the "blue grip" glock in there? Bawanna's secret department issued g21?
We won't be hating you if you get another of the "G" guns. I said I'd never have another one then I ran across that G26 deal and couldn't pass it up. It's past 200 rounds successfully and IWB holster is to be delivered tomorrow so it will get in the carry rotation by next week. Never say never I'm learning. It's a tad lighter than the P30sk.

Dumb question, but why 103? 100 or 110 I could see, but 103 just seems like a weird quantity.

It is indeed Bawanna's secret issue. Actually there's 106 mags in there, the 3 under the blue grip are loaded. It's official purpose is to give to an officer if I happen to be doing something to his issued gun and they have to leave quick. I just give them that. Since we have a new cleaning/work room and they don't want any guns left in there it doesn't really work anymore. Still works well for me, it can be in hand in about 10 seconds. I put blue tape on it since we were using it for officers to check out a new holster we're going to switch to. Wonder how much that safe would weigh if all them 103 other mags were loaded. Heavy.

I just had 3 new ones left, got an order in for an even 100.
They intend to issue 3 new mags to each officer and use the old mags for range.
Range mags get pretty beat up, duty mags only get used once a year for a qual.
Now I'm a Glock fanboy......gotta a rope, I'll go look for a tree.

I'll confess, I have a glock 19 with a reduced grip, done by David Bowie. I don't bad mouth any gun that is reliable and pretty accurate.
All things that go bang have a role/job to do. Choices are good!

Exactly. “Fanboy” as I defined it has nothing to do with the gun and everything to do with the fan. 😇

But most Fanboy's don't have a fan in their bathroom...if you know what I mean.
