The Kahr P40 is an extremely popular double action only (DAO) striker-fired pistol, especially for concealed carry. It comes in two models, the P40, which is all-steel, and the PM40, which features a polymer frame.

The barrel is stainless steel and comes in at 3.5 inches. The slide and frame are slim, which adds to the concealability and ergonomics of the P40. There is no external safety, just the slide lock/takedown pin.

The P40 has a magazine capacity of 6+1, and it may be a little "picky" about what type of ammunition it likes. The Kahr is very popular for its ergonomics and ease of use.

A Clean Gun is a Safe Gun

It is imperative that you keep your firearm clean. Multiple firings cause the powder residue and other grime and gases to build up in the action and on the barrel. Over time, this can affect the performance of your gun, which can become unreliable and unpredictable in terms of performance.

Since many firearm buyers purchase their guns for self-defense, it is critical that the gun operate at peak performance every time. Clean your gun as soon as possible after firing to keep it working like new.

Here are a few cleaning tips:

• Always clean your gun in a well-lit area. Needless to say, you need to see what you’re doing
•   Clean your gun far away from any open flame, outdoor or

For this video, we'll be going over the Glock 26 & 27, and showing you how to take it apart and clean it! We decided to do them both in the same video, since they are so similar. Often referred to as the "Baby Glock," the G26 & G27 are extremely popular subcompact handguns, often used by both civilians and law enforcement as a concealed carry/back-up gun.


The Glock 26 is chambered in 9mm, and the Glock 27 is chambered in .40 S&W. The 26 has a magazine capacity of 10 with a standard flush fit magazine, but it also accepts larger magazines from other Glock 9mm pistols, like the 19 or 17.

This gives it a magazine capacity of 15, 17 or even 30+ rounds with aftermarket magazines. For the 27, it's standard magazine capacity is 9 rounds, but again, you can use those other .40 cal Glock mags for it.

After obtaining your concealed carry permit and a handgun that you are completely comfortable with, the next highly important step before you are ready to begin carrying your firearm is to purchase a quality holster.

In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about the best concealed carry holsters, including the types of holsters that are available, which holsters are best for various situations, and how to choose the holster that is right for you. 


The Best Holsters for Concealed Carry


There are several different types of concealed carry holsters available, each with their own set of advantages. The most common types of holsters

The Ruger LCR, or Lightweight Compact Revolver, is one of the most popular concealed carry guns on the market, mainly due to its extremely light weight. The LCR can be chambered in .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR).


The LCR is a hammerless revolver, but there is an option with a hammer called the LCRx. The upper cylinder frame and barrel assembly are made from 7000 series aluminum, and except for the cylinder, everything is covered in polymer. This reduces the weight even more.


Despite the light weight, recoil is fairly well managed due to the extremely comfortable Hogue grips. This pistol is also virtually rust-proof.


This is definitely a pistol to consider for concealed carry or even home defense. Watch the full cleaning and review below!
