TP45 accuracy?

[MichSteve]

I am looking to purchase a 45acp, I am torn between a 1911 and a Kahr TP45 or P45, I want to know if the Kahr's are as accurate as a standard 1911?

Plus for the Kahr: easier to carry, no safety, am use to my PM9.

What are your thoughts?

I was no more accurate with my P45 and TP45 than I was with any other Kahr. What small difference in accuracy you may lose is offset by the Kahr simplicity and light weight factors IMHO. I do not however find the Kahr 45 as pleasant to shoot as other, larger 45s, even other polymer guns. You will feel some recoil with the little 20 oz. Kahr 45.

different guns.. one is single action, other a looooong trigger pull, ur gonna shoot a 1911 better, or at least you should shoot it better..

when you have a 1911 that ly requires a slight touch of the trigger tomake it go bang and a kahr which requires a full 3/8" trigger travel befor ethe bang thing happens, which one do you think your gonna be more accurate with..

I was much more accurate with my Dad's Colt than my PM9. Many years ago I shot a tin car over 150 yards out in first shot. Today I don't do nearly as well with the PM9 at 25 yards. Lordy I miss those young eyes!

I have to agree with whoever said different guns/triggers.
Plus what are you planning to use the gun for?
Target practice, self defense, concealed carry?

I've said it before, and paid not following my own advise, but
the biggest factor in accuracy is you. I try to never buy a handgun without
"kicking the tires and lighting the fires" first. Rent, or borrow, the guns you're interested in. You will answer your own question. I have personally shot some very accurate handguns poorly. I think it's ergonomics, sights, triggers and me.

Also, single action tends to be more accurate for many people.
But "locked and cocked" isn't for everyone in concealed carry.
Plus it limits how you can carry as well.

I'm just saying....

I found my TP45 to be more accurate than I expected it to be. I find it to be the easiest to shoot among the polymer Kahrs and the most accurate of any of my Kahrs. The TP45 defintely was a sleeper.

tp45 very acurate my new fave gun just picked one up 2 months ago great gun if your looking to use as range gun get rubber grips! no safty u dont need one because long trigger pull kahr is a ccw which another reasion why there is no safty in a fire fight u don't want to get caught on the draw with the safty on or forgeting to take off safty when u need it in a rush! great 45 the tp the pm is a little bit smaller they perform the same i beleave the tp is 4 inc and pm is 3.5 but for that extra lil 3.5 your going to pay 200 more just up to you if your looking for something for range go with the tp 45 and get them rubber grips u slide over the texture grips will save your hand from getting tore up ! also a 1911 is really complacated to break down and clean mostly all 1911 are if your a beginer i suggest you het your 1911 cleaned by a gun smith untill u get familure with it !

Could this be a new jocko? The TP series has been getting a lot of love lately.

The 1911 has one more part than a Kahr to break down for field stripping/cleaning. The barrel bushing (5inch gun) which simply twists clockwise to remove recoil spring then counterclockwise to take it out. If someone shows you once no problem.

very true i own a kimber 1911 and a colt but after shooting my new tp 45 im in love with it and plan on selling my two 1911 and buying another kahr i love my tp45 to me i think its alot more acurate then my kimber and colt 1911 but that's just me! i prefere the longer trigger pull on my tp then the lil touchy tap on my kimber and colt 1911 my berretta 92fs trigger is the same its like butter i just like the longer trigger pull simular to a revolve to me gives me more time to make sure im aimed on target before it fires !
