CM45, is it going to happen? Speculation and conjecture welcome

[jocko]

geez, I was just shi-tin here!!! Thought u could see that. Maybe a pigs ear would have been better.

Really now?

XDs
length: 6.3"
Width 0.9"
Height w/mag: 4.4"
weight: 21.5 oz

CM9
Length 5.42"
Height: 4.0" (doesn't say with mag or not)
Slide Width: .90"
Weight 14 0z

PM45
Length: 5.79"
Height: 4.49"
Slide Width: 1.01"
Weight: 17.3 oz

So, in regards to the XDs, we are talking about a .45 that is roughly half an inch longer than a CM9, mostly because of a 3.3" barrel vs. the Kahr's 3.0" barrel, weighs 6.0 oz more, and the other dimensions are pretty much the same. Even LESS difference (basically nil) with the current PM45, which would be the exact same dimesnions as a CM45.
So, tell me again why a .45 would have to be huge?

It's personal lowroad. Think of me as Elmer Keith (quite a stretch) and Jocko as Jack O'Connor (equally large stretch). I like 45's, he like 9's.

The XD will no doubt be in the same size category as the PM45 or CM45 if they come out.
I carry a PM45, but I have large ears.

I too have large ears. "like a taxi cab with it's doors open" as my grandpa used to say.

[jocko]

still almost 25% heavier than the kahr 45. Jack O'Connor ismy great uncle. Elmer Keith is kinfolk to Elmer Fudd, if that tells u anything.

nothing wrong with big ears, just ask Dumbo!!

yeah but I dont want the XDs really, basically I want a cheaper PM45 and think that Kahr should drop everything and make it just for me

Yep

I think so too. I think they should make at least one just for you.

I don't suppose if I chipped in say 5 bucks that would make the PM45 cheaper enough? Just a thought.

Go ahead and send the five bucks and let's see what happens.

Remember: a 9mm won't always expand, but a 45 never shrinks.

You know, you might be on to something. The best way to get the CM45 produced, is for me to go out and buy a PM45. I guarantee within a month of me shelling out the extra dough, they will announce the the release of the cheaper and just as effective CM version!
