I kinda like the original furniture, but didn't expect it on a new gun. Have really been pleased with the guns performance. Hasn't missed a beat after some 500 rounds using the original and surplus clips.

I couldn't help but notice what looked like live rounds in your first pic. Can't see the safety levers position but bolt is forward. I kinda like the original FA layout better than the semi. The position of the cocking knob is just like a hammer on a Winchester 97 you can tell if it's read to go or 99% sure it's not at a glance. ( no gun is ever safe, don't point the muzzle at anything you would not wish destroyed even if your 100% sure it's empty)
Maybe I'm not the only one who's kept a 27A1 arround the house loaded for things that go bump in the night.

Thanks for the heads up PK. And by the way, if I send you this gun for the cut off, shortened barrel and welded comp treatment, will the parkerized finish be any problem?
And does anybody know if surplus wood is common practice for Kahr on their Commando? Is that why they are painting them black?

A/O Kahr has used a combination of surplus and new production wood. Recently I have been seeing more new production. I got a new 27a1 in the other day and it has FAR superior vertical foregrip than what we have been seeing-not a Colt mind you, but so much better you would really be surprised. Someone at Kahr has been listening to something it would appear.
