Jim, I don`t know how anyone got anything other than a request for an opinion on KAHR arms? My comment was I don`t want to spend $1000+ on a KAHR arms rifle if the consensus is garbage. Then it just went south from there. I have grown to trust your opinions on here. Are you saying you recently purchased the beautiful rifle you showed for $1000? What a buy. I haven`t seen anything close to that. So what would you suggest a poor man to do? What manufacturer would you recommend? I haven`t seen any Semi-autos in my price range by any other manufacturer (is there any other company making them?) and the $25k for an auto Is far beyond hope. I`m simply looking for opinions from people who have owned one was it worth it or just a jammomatic pain? Not trying to be confrontational in any way. HOPE EVERYONE STAYS SAFE HAPPY AND HEALTHY.
