Need some guidence on my next purchase - Page 2

OK well after several hours playing with guns

i finally picked one....Kahr PM45.... I picked this one mainly because my wife carries the PM9 & we really like it & iam telling you .45's dont get any slimmer than this baby

the only thing i didnt like was the grip is a tinsy bit too thin & the serrations on this one are worse (sharp feeling) than my wifes PM9. Ah but a Hogue handall jr fixed that perfectly

This is to be my EDC & i wanted it as small as possible but in a .45 so iam very happy. I thought i was ready to join the 1911 crowd but i just found them to have too many things sticking out all over to catch on stuff. The only problem now is waiting to tomorrow to shoot it

Note: new Trijicon novak style night sights on order & yes of course a new iwb slim version from TT Gunleather...

Very nice. Let us know how it shoots. I wonder if Kahr will release a MK45?

I have two EDC's...my Kimber Ultra CDP II for most times...and my Glock-36 when on the Harley.
Both are very easy to conceal, accurate, and dependable.
I have never had problems with either...both great guns.

Remember: If it's mechanical, it can have a problem...no guarantees!
I've 'witnessed' $2500 guns malfunction and that can be disheartening to say the least...

Stay armed...with an Ultra...stay safe!

I like the big ol' full sized 1911 .45 pistols as long as they've not been dinked around with too much. Accurized, tightened, and tricked out turn me off. I like 'em configured like military versions.

Honestly, I would not buy the SA micro for a carry gun.

A carry gun is a tool. It gets bumped, dumped, and scratched up because of the environment it has to live in. You don't want a "piece of jewelry" as a carry gun.

The SA micro is too pretty and will lose it's value due to the fact that carry guns get used & abused more than safe queens.

Buy a Colt Defender instead. Same size weapon, 3/4 the price and none of the flash.
Colt Pistols - Ozark Guns (about 3/4's of the way down the page)

Or buy a commander (blue) or combat commander (S-steel) 1991 for about half the price of the SA micro. These have a 4 1/4" barrel instead of 3" but that's not a real problem unless you're a "twiggy the midget." And even then, I'd be surprised if you couldn't conceal one decently.

Colt's Manufacturing Company, Inc.

And, remember, you can buy a LOT of ammo for $600 to practice with.

OK. You've got me wondering...why a different gun when on the HOG?

Thanks all for your views, i appreciate it. Just so you know the PM45 shoots very well

i figured it would kill your hand but ill be honest i shot 150 rounds out of it the first day (now have just over 300 rounds downrange) with NO problems & believe it or not my wifes PM9 is harder on me to shoot, i have 4 friends that have shot both our PM9 & PM45 & they like the 45 better as well, except for my wife she likes how the 9 shoots better

for us its because the 9 is too small (she does have little hands) & you cant grab it, the 45 seems to fit nicely & recoil is not nearly what i thought it would be actually its quite smooth

Oh by the way i got a Hogue Handall Jr on mine (makes a tremendous difference) & Trijicon "novak style" night sights & iam carrying Federal HST's in the magazine of course
