At age 18, Moon got a license to carry a handgun, co-signed by one of his older brothers, but he was not satisfied with the small calibers available in compact handguns.

They were now overly large in light of their newly mandated 10-shot limit. Kahr was at the forefront, offering relatively small, well-made pistols with magazine capacities of up to eight rounds of 9mm or.40-caliber ammunition.

Polymer-frame Kahr CM9 field stripped for routine cleaningThe Kahr action is a locked-breech design featuring a striker-operated firing pin with a passive firing pin safety, making it a true. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar begins to rotate a double-lobed cocking cam. This cam simultaneously begins to draw the striker to the rear, compressing the spring behind it, while depressing and deactivating the firing pin block. At the end of the trigger's travel, the lobe contacting the striker slips off the striker and releases it; the other lobe has, by this point, completely depressed the firing pin block and permitted the striker to snap forward and strike the primer.

This single piece takes the place of more complicated and fragile designs employed in other pistols. It is similar in principle, though very different in execution, to the action design of. It also allows the firing pin block to be located further to the rear of the slide and therefore further from possible contamination by combustion gases and powder fouling. For this innovation, Justin Moon was awarded one of the five patents he owns on the Kahr pistol design. This system is employed on all Kahr pistols, regardless of frame material, size, or caliber.Kahr's trigger is similar to a, with a short 3⁄ 8-inch (0.95 cm) trigger travel.

On polymer-framed models, the slide travels on steel inserts that are permanently set into the polymer frame. There are also polymer rails, which are not structurally functional, but aid in keeping out dirt, and with aligning the slide when reassembling the slide onto the polymer frame. In steel framed versions, the rail design is traditional and very similar to that of the. Kahr pistols have their feed ramps offset to the left, which allows the trigger draw bar to lie flatter against the right side of the frame. This feature helps the Kahr pistol line to achieve a slide width of.90 inches (2.3 cm) in 9mm and models, and 1.01 inches (2.6 cm) when chambered in, narrower than many popular pistols.The initial Kahr offering, the K9, provided a full-power pistol that was virtually the same size, and in some dimensions, smaller, as widely accepted 'Pocket Pistol' and handguns such as the and PPK/S, as well as the, and the.Kahr offers a line of 'economy' pistols which are identical to the P series of pistols except that some luxury features are eliminated to cut costs.
