Take your time and buy a used Glock 27 or 23. You can't break a Glock. The Kahr is not a bad choice but I think you will be happier with a Glock. Mags are cheap and can interchange. You can also buy a different caliber barrel and have two guns in one. They are super easy to work on and user friendly. I am a police officer, Glock Armour and instructor of 15 years and love them. Just my two cents.
