I am sure all of these pistol lines could be characterized as POS weaponry by the adherents of others. Let's go over the stereotypes for the newbies again:
HK USP: Are you kidding? $700-800 for plastic? Trading off their name for suckers to pay too much. One day someone will have to dremel the polymer frame to see if gold dust flakes out of it. Looks only the mother engineers could love. . . .
Glocks: So damn ugly they make HKs look sexy. You can strip the substandard parts out without tools. Factory sights made from imported Lego recycling. You can shoot one forever, or until it breaks or kabooms, which might be never or might be your next trigger pull, Gaston ain't telling. Fires without warning (even if your finger is not on the trigger
) Oh yeah and overpriced, but cheaper than "German engineering" because it ain't.
Sig Classic: Those rust-o-leum specials? You look at them sideways and they begin to corrode. High bore axis. The P226 was runner-up in JSAP trials. Crap service life expectancy. Oh yeah, overpriced for a gun without finish. Don't like slingshotting the slide? Too f'ing bad!
Beretta 92: C'mon! The US Armed Forces' PC POS? The tooth breaker? The politically engineered bid lowest common denominator weapon? It chokes on dustbunnies if anyone could actually grip one to fire it!
Colt 1911: How much does this pistol suck if it was replaced by an Italian POS? Not one has ever fired from an unmodified NIB state. You will spend upwards of $700 just to get a mag full of rounds downrange every other mag. Dangerous. Obsolete. How it could be the most popular combat handgun in history is unfathomable to anyone without $6000 to spend having a useable 1911A1 made.
S&W 3rd Gen: Has anyone but a cop forced to use one ever bought one? Heavy. Made with Beretta style safeties without any of the good looks of the B92. Made by Americans who recently worked for British fifth columnists and now work for spineless American gun grabber agreement non-ripper-uppers! Did I mention ugly and heavy with one of the worst auto pistol triggers ever?
Yes, each of the above can be faulted in their own way, but what all of the above are not, (THANK GOD), are Kahrs. Moonie pistols get my solid, 100% backing, as the most overrated pistol line out there. Small yes, but poorly made in many examples. Not very durable compared to more established competitors. Badly overpriced for what one gets. Kahrs are a trifecta of badly made, badly assembled, and badly supported handguns. As soon as Glock, Beretta, SIG, or HK makes a reasonably priced single stack 9mm with close to a Kahr's dimensions, the floor will be wiped with Bubba Blitz's azz.
