if a load aint going to be a LOT more powerful than a .22, why pay more than 2c a shot for the ammo, hmm? why not at LEAST get a 9x19, and pay 11c a shot, since a Kahr is 6" long, 15 ozs? Sheesh, that's smaller and no more wt than an airwt Chief's .38. If you can't spare the room to carry THAT, you are really lost.
