New Kahr PM45 pocket cannon

[Monkeyman2500]

Well after much deliberation and many days at the LGS I picked up a used PM45. I was dead set on a PM9 but the 45 was just sitting next to it and my wife said get it because she likes .45 better. I'm very happy with this little pistol. Had a few hiccups after about 80 rounds but I only got to clean and oil it a little that day. After taking it home and stripping it down I found the striker channel to be very dirty with lots of brass flakes in it. I'm looking forward to the next range session and running it some more. I'm pretty darn happy with my new pocket .45. :)

Gotta love a pocket .45acp. Kahrs are great guns. Sounds like you purchased a keeper. BTW, kudos for having a wife with good caliber sense. Lol.

I've got the .40, I bet the 45 is a handful.
Great guns.

Got to keep the wife that loves .45. Well she did steal my built Springfield 1911 but so what. I had a j frame smith before and shot terrible with it. This Kahr is great. I can hit pretty good and the recoil is not bad. I'm using regular federals and not +p.

I have the PM9 and the bigger CW45. Both are great shooters and carry weapons.

I had the PM40 but got rid of it when I changed most CCWs to .45.  I've looked for the PM45 off and on, Tennessee Hoss had one but sold it before I could handle it.  How much physically bigger is it than the PM40?  Recoil doesn't matter, I like the smaller sized .45s.

It is only a tiny bit bigger than the pm9. They didn't have a 40 to compare. I think it's like .11" wider slide and .3" longer than pm9. So not much. If I went any smaller it would only make spence to go to .380.

Very nice purchase Monkeyman.  Love the pm series.  :up:

+1 on your PM45. Mine is an EDC.
