My biggest problem is that I have unlimited free access to a friend’s private range within 15 minutes of my home. I am constantly sneaking out in the afternoon for an hour. Range fees are now zero, ammo costs on the other hand are getting painful.

LOL! I'm a life member at a range five minutes from my house, so I understand. I'm actually a benchrest shooter and even though I have semi-auto pistols, it's been years since I shot them. The Kahr 40 is just not very controllable even if it didn't have feed problems. No way to double tap with it. I'm going to look at other options for carry...9mm or maybe the S&W Bodyguard 38. I've never owned a revolver, but thinking that might be the way to go for reliability.

I have an Airweight 38. It’s got a lot going for it as a CC gun. But you have to practice a lot to get as good as you can with it because the tiny barrel is so limiting in accuracy. OTOH, with lots ($18 a box, lots of boxes) of practice I can do pretty well out to 12-15 feet, which I think is reasonable for its likely use. I can drop it in my front pocket when wearing jeans and you’d never know what it is. Very concealable. And it packs a punch. 158 grain rounds make it feel like a small cannon. As a revolver with an 8.5 lb trigger pull, you won’t shoot anyone accidentally.
