Kahr PM45. Shoots very well too. Just have to get used to the LOOOOONNG reset on the trigger. I'm used to Glock and 1911 triggers with a very short reset. This will take some getting used to. Just disappears in my MTAC. 150 rounds through it so far. Had 2 stove pipes, but I know it was from limp wristing.

Nice looking gun Mike! Congrats on the new purchase!

Great gun! Congratulations.

Very nice. I love my P40, no complaints. Put at least 200+ through it before depending on it, ideally with no failures.
I made a spiffy Kydex mag carrier that goes in the pocket with a clip on it like a knife to keep it in place. Easy to deploy too. Looks like a knife if anything.

Though I am having second thoughts if I should have got a P45.

Congrats. I have the PM40 and have been very happy with it. I carry it in a Don Hume IWP holster. The ONLY complaint I have about the design is during reassembly. You REALLY have to be careful about getting that sping arm over the slide lock pin. Otherwise it locks open every time.

I carry tha' CW40 ... 24/7.
Also been thinking about a .45
.... of course, it'll have to be a CW !
My other .45 is a XD ... just alittle large for summer wear.

Congrats ... on your choice !

I really like my PM9 because how easy it conceals. I agree re-assembly can be challenging at times.

Nice gun
I carry the PM40, its a mean one to master. Not much of a grip for my large hands and kicks like a mule. It took a few weeks to finally feel as comfortable with it as I do with my XD45.
I thought my .40 kicked, I bet that .45 does for sure.

The recoil is surprisingly mild. I have always thought that the 40 had more felt recoil than the 45.

That is the difference in a high pressure round (40 ca at max ~32,600psi) vs a lower pressure round like the .45 (21,000 psi max.) The recoil on the 45 will usually be much more manageable.

Now I'm wishing I bought the .45
