General Instructions
Always assume that the KAHR Pistol or
any other firearm is loaded and capa-
ble of being discharged until you, the
handler, have personally verified the
fact. Until the magazine is removed
and you have inspected the chamber
and completed the unloading proce-
dure as presented on page 11, the
firearm must be considered loaded and
capable of being fired.
Never transport a loaded firearm.
To reduce the possibility of an acciden-
tal discharge, do not place your finger
on the trigger until the firearm is point-
ed at the target and you intend to fire.
When handling, carrying or holstering
the pistol be sure that the trigger can-
not be snagged by a foreign object.
This can discharge the pistol.
If you don’t want the firearm to fire,
keep your finger off the trigger.
When firing with a two hand grip, keep
the thumb of the weak hand on the
weak hand side of the firearm, never
behind the slide or under the magazine.
Before using the KAHR Pistol, complete-
ly read and fully understand the oper-
ating instructions and safety informa-
tion in this manual. If you have difficul-
ty understanding anything in this man-
ual, call Kahr Technical Support at
[phone] or seek qualified instruc-
tion in the safe use of the KAHR Pistol
and other handguns.
