CT45 Early Impressions

[HvBikeWlTravel]

Speaking of less expensive .45s, I think the Kahr CT45 qualifies. Just ran 2 clips of round-nose lead and one rd. of Silvertip. No cycling problems. Quite a bit of muzzle rise. Not a double tap machine in my one or two hands. The one area I plan to improve is the addition of a rubber grip cover. The polymer grip is hatched with some pretty sharp edges. And the circumference is a tad small for my liking. Ordered Pachmayr and Hogue grips 2 days ago. The accompanying Manual still suggests 200 rds before reliability is established but 2 reviews have countered that argument. This is my first Kahr and I'm really liking the smooth trigger action and the curve design of the trigger. And the fact that it's spittin' the first few without hang-ups is a bonus.

I have read some good things about the CT line.  Glad to hear a first hand report on it.

I am a fan of all things KAHR,

I have not tried the CT45 but do own a CW45 and its been phenomenal  (same gun only smaller ) and I have shot maybe 150 

rounds though it and its been perfect as it sounds like yours will be also.......good luck

I might mention for anyone on the fence about purchasing a Kahr, they are currently running a promo for a free extra Magazine until Oct.31st with purchase of Firearm.

I sent in paperwork last Tues. and got confirmation that my Mag is on the way today. Pretty good turn-around time.  And this CT continues to perform well, except for some of my reloads. I may need new dies.

Great post...but should I school you on the difference between Magazines and Clips aka stripper clips and ALA Garand embolic clips? Big grin here and playful poke in the rips at you since I've been "schooled" myself dozens of times over my shooting career. Enjoy your new pistol I believe you picked a winner. :wave:

I have a CW45 that has performed well with no failure to feed or ejection problems. I also hve th PM9 and I have fired over 350rds with no malfunctions. Kahr makes an excellant gun with a good trigger pull. Good luck with your CT45.

Received Promo Magazine Sat. with no delay or hassle. First-rate handling by Kahr.

Makes the gun purchase even sweeter.
