1st range trip, P45

[BabyMaker_45]

I must say, im very impressed with this little gem.
i ran 200 rounds through her today.
winchester white box, fiocchi, and the browning BPT, all 230 grn fmj.

The first magazine at 6 yards was basically all through the same hole.
next 2 magazines were nice looking as well.

First 100 rounds went flawlessly, had a few hangups when i hit 150, but that may have been an ammo problem. A few of the winchesters got hung up on the feed ramp.
but i noticed that the nose of the failed rounds looked all scratched up.

The extractor on this gun gets dirty fast. And since it protrudes slightly with a round chambered, if its really dirty it almost looks like something is mechanically wrong or broken.
i think thats what i get for running the cheapest crap ammo i could find today.

i expected the recoil to be harsh.
it wasnt bad at all.
its not as mild as a glock 21 or a 5 inch 1911, but i didnt expect it to be.
with the weight and size its a great shooter.

i didnt try any fancy defense type loads today.
ill try those nextime.

it sure cleaned up real nice.


I feel like its gonna just get better with time. Yep

I had pretty much the same results with my CW45, except no hang ups at all.
Have not run any HPs through it though..... yet.

Glad you like it.

Since you have it about broke in and cleaned up I bet you’ll find it even smoother next time. Good report.

Thanks for the replies.
my biggest concern was gonna be the recoil of the 45 in such a small light package.
that has to be the most impressive quality to me this far

i get an occasional brass to the face with mine, but otherwise it is reliable.

I get brass to the face with my PM45 if I get the least bit sloppy with my grip. It's almost like a wake up call, hey bone head focus you know.

Choke the chicken serious business grip and it flips them off normally.

They say you shoot best when your a little mad dog mean and a couple hot cases to the face makes that happen.

Nice report.

[BabyMaker_45]

Thanks all.
As previously mentioned on another post i used the brake cleaner on my striker channel to clean it.
it cleaned it well, and i was trying not to get it on any other part of the gun, but i did accidentally and it took the paint off the front sight.

a few coats with the gfs nail polish and its good to go again.


i hoped on and ordered a holster from elpasso, but it turns out that an older holster i have for a different pistol is a perfect fit already.
its always nice to have more holsters so no worries. Im actually about 8 weeks into waiting period on 2 other holsters at the moment.

anyway the more i fondle the kahr and play with it the smoother it gets. I dont think at this point i need to buy anything else for her other then ammo.

shes a keeper

[BabyMaker_45]

I didnt have any erratic ejection or brass to the face. That’s usually a wake up call. Does anyone elses extractor get dirty fast? I think when its dirty, and how it protrudes slightly it can be alarming at first.
i thought id broken something, but it kept on firing away.
1 handed drills, i was worried id limp wrist it, but nope, she kept going.

i may pick up the pm45 in the near future
