I know I'm probably WAY BEHIND on this one, but I came across an article that says NYPD has adopted the Kahr as their issued sidearm. Was this a political move or is it a good gun?

Maybe both. Sure they make a finer weapon if that's what kind of weapon you want. Meaning that it is a reliable weapon. If they got the contract to arm a dept then they must have offered the best deal out the gate or their offering parts, etc to make it a better deal down the road.
Mine is a good gun. Its a GREAT gun! but you have to realize what they are. If I had to be stuck with a single gun it would be something more like my XD. But for the Kahr's size and DAO trigger, it shoots exceptionally well.
Kahrs are good guns, and NYPD did authorize their use as backup guns for several years. I think they switched to Sigs a couple of years ago, though...probably political.
I have a PM9. I love it. Can't say what NYPD got, but the one Kahr I own goes with me often.
I love my PM40!
