Kahr PM9193

There will always be, I suppose, a debate as to which is the best self-defense gun–a snubnose revolver or a compact semiauto. Both have their virtues, but the autos seem to be gaining.

A prime example is the new PM9193 from Kahr Arms that, as CEO Justin Moon is quick to point out, “is made in America by Americans” in Worcester, Massachusetts. In Kahr model lexicon, “PM” stands for polymer frame, “919” indicates a 9mm (with external safety and loaded-chamber indicator), and the “3” means a three-inch barrel.

With its petite size and smooth contours, the PM9193 is a prime candidate for concealed carry. The gun’s single-stack magazine makes for a delightfully slim package less than an inch thick, and with its 9mm chambering the PM9193 is truly a pocket powerhouse.
