So I would have to think that any issues the Carbines might have had (if they had any, for any company can make a bad batch of “something” for a wide variety of reasons) have been dealt with by now.Īs to “commercial” carbines in general, I agree with the remarks offered up here and to some degree on the linked site (and the even more detailed pages it links to) that the 1st Version of the Universals weren’t too bad.

To say that the manufacturing of its Thompson-related products at that time was nightmarish, would be considered by some to be an understatement for it reflected the then common practice of failing to change with the times. Those guns are a relatively recent addition to the A-O side of the house but I knew a number of people who were at Kahr when they purchased the company itself. And a good number are shipped for sale in Europe, where the end users don’t tolerate things that are poorly made or malfunction and where the sellers (especially at the import/distribution level) won’t handle anything that is unreliable or in need of constant repair for such things only create extra work for them (in many cases, more so than here) and diminish their overall profitability. The company sells the daylights out of them. I have a good friend who now works for the Kahr organization and he tells me they shoot fine.
