Kahr Arms


Kahr Arms, an American gun manufacturing company, was founded by Justin Moon, who personally designed the firms first firearms and holds seven U.S. patents for firearm design.

Justin Moon is a member of the Unification Church and is the son of the church’s founder, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

Justin was born in Seoul, Korea, on July 17, 1970. Justin came to the U.S. in 1973 and has lived in the United States ever since. Justin graduated from Harvard University Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Economics.

Justin proudly states “I proudly participate and support my church and my community. This is, after all, a free country. I cherish my First Amendment rights as well as my Second Amendment rights.” It is difficult to disagree with that.
