Compact (vewy, vewy small) .45 ACP - what's out there?

[Thernlund]

I like the look of that New Agent.

*sigh* Another one goes on the list.


-T.

Dan-O (or anyone else who's got one), what is the recoil on the PM45 like?

Also, what do you carry it in?

 

[Northalius]

You said Glocks don't fit your hands... but have you tried the Glock 30SF yet?

 

[Dan-O]

Recoil on the PM45 is pretty tame in my opinion. I can easily shoot 150 rounds per outing and not get phased by it.

I carry Corbon Pow'r Ball in all my autos.

Dan-O, have any side by side comparos of the Cobra and the Kahr like your series with the Kahr and Colt?

 

[Dan-O]

No, but I can. Give me a some time, and I will take and post some.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Cool, thanks.

I have 2 Sig P245's that are both a great size and great shooters!

The Glock's, compact 1911's, and the CS's are all too big to be a mouse gun or rat gun capable of fitting in a pocket. Not really interested in those.

Unless you want to deal with a KelTec (PF9 or P3AT) or possibly a BERSA CC you are are relegated to the PM 9 and that is probably more money than you want to spend.

Have you seriously considered a S&W snubbie revolver like a 442 or 642?
Puts you in a decent round. 38 spl plus P and easily pocket carried.

I lived in your frozen over tourist hell for twelve years. Great summers and the Cherry Festival is a great excuse to take the week off and drink, which is pretty much exactly what we did. Anchored up the boat and lived in the beer tent at the park. Greasy fries and cold beer, yum.

I dunno...the AMT isn't much bigger than the PF9...or even all that much wider. Even J frames seem to wide and long for pocket carry.
It's an option though, already have a Model 10 so .38 is in the stable.





We've lived here for four years now and well...we hate it. Overpriced, under developed, over crowded, nothing you need is here, and all the locals seem to think they live in paradise and it's still a small town so why grow the city or do anything to advance life up here...

...wanna buy a house? Hopefully we'll be out of here this summer/fall.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

No, but I can. Give me a some time, and I will take and post some.

Dan-O, got those pics yet?

 

[Semmerling]

Claude, that is not a Semmerling.

All the guns listed are monsters compared to the Semmerling...

Enjoy this comparision, the top is an extremely rare Detonics converted to a double action (hand done by Secamp), the bottom is a rare .357 over .45 ADC.

The smallest true .45 automatic ever made was the XLM, a non-manual LM4 produced under special contract to the U.S. Army..suppressed as well.
It can be seen at the National Firearm Museum (NRA).



Now THAT is a small 5 shot .45....

questions:

If I had any questions about the kahr pm45, I would sure ask Dan O. he not only owns it he shoots it like he stole it..

 

[AJMBLAZER]

He's also very good about answering questions and taking requests for pictures.
