It's a helluva carry gun. It actually replaced my Officer's 1911 as a carry gun when I can't get the 5" 1911 in. It's thin as hell, reliable as hell, accurate as hell, and is just a plain old great gun.
The only issue I've had with it is the plastic is a slick butt surface to try to grip, especially with this .40 cal in the small frame. I fixed that problem temporarily a while back with some skateboard grip tape, which worked well until some time and a little bit of solvent found their way under the tape (FYI - it's still holding up great on the Para since it's a smooth flat surface on the Para where it was applied, compared to textured on the Kahr).
I fixed it permanently today by stippling it. Stippling basically is deforming the surface of the frame where you grip it to offer a ton of resistance to motion. When it's done this way you can do an entire gun in about an hour and really, REALLY increase the purchase you can get on the thing. It gives your skin somewhere to go to when clamped hard that's held captive by the gaps created from the soldering gun tip, and the ridges help lock it in even better. Works great, even with hands drenched in water. After hitting it in the few rough areas with 80 grit paper, it's comfortable to carry and it hasn't lost any of it's new-found properties.
I'm too poor (and cheap) to send my gun off to get stippled by a pro with a soldering gun and a special tip, so I did it myself with a 30watt iron and a standard pointed tip. Same basic princible bubafied. Looks ugly, works amazingly well. Who cares it's a tool with one purpose in life, looks be damned.
