Another CM45 range report and review

[pbagley]

I wish you wouldnt have posted all this. Now if I see one its coming home with me. How am I gonna explain that to thw wife?

A few suggestions:
1) get a second job, use the money for your enjoyment.
2) save up your "pin money" for a while (the money you don't spend from your weekly allowance for fuel and lunches).
3) sell some of your old stuff on Craig's List to fund a new purchase.
4) just spend it, and ask for forgiveness if (when) she discovers the unauthorized spending.

Good luck!

One detail I neglected to include in the review above that may be of interest:
- I have a tendency to allow my right thumb to flop about. This habit caused two unintentional magazine releases and one unintentional slide stop activation. This is a user error, but it never happens with a 1911 using the same two hand grip. The problem is rooted in target shooting training where the finger tips and thumb are kept off the handle - only the front and back straps are touching the hand (one hand bullseye hold). When adding the second (weak) hand both thumbs are kept off the handle, and my habit has been to have both together with the thumbnail facing my eyes. The same thing happens with the CW45 and the CM40.

This is noted with the expectation that most will never suffer this problem.

My wife got a little concered when I told her I was buying another Kahr,but when I got home with the pistol she was relieved. We have an agreement that as long as the bills are paid and the savings is left alone I don't say anything about her $300 + purses she stays out of the gun purchases Sometimes it even works

It's always better to ask for forgiveness vs. permission.

Thats the part that hurts, I buy a gun and her a $300 dollar purse.

I was thinking of a CW45 but I may just go for a CM45 now.

Do you find the CM45 kicks a bit more than the CW45?

My CT45 is pretty tame

I don't detect much difference in recoil between the two. Very slightly more accurate with the CW45, but it's within a point on the targets pictured above at 25 yards.

Aha, reread your original post and you cover my question nicely
