General Instructions
Always assume that the KAHR Pistol or
any other firearm is loaded and capable
of being discharged until you, the han-
dler, have personally verified the fact.
Until the magazine is removed and you
have inspected the chamber and com-
pleted the unloading procedure as pre-
sented on page 9, the firearm must be
considered loaded and capable of being
fired. Never transport a loaded firearm.
To reduce the possibility of an uninten-
tional discharge, do not place your fin-
ger on the trigger until the firearm is
pointed at the target and you intend to
fire. When handling, carrying or holster-
ing the pistol be sure that the trigger
cannot 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.
Before using the KAHR Pistol, completely
read and fully understand the operating
instructions and safety information in
this manual. If you have difficulty under-
standing anything in this manual, call
Kahr Technical Support at [phone]
or seek qualified instruction in the safe
use of the KAHR Pistol and other hand-
guns.
