SA XDs corrected weight = 21.5 oz

[DJK11]

Well they finally corrected the posted tonnage, I mean weight of the XDs. The site states 21.5 oz. That's more like it, same as the PM45. Been lusting ,like many, for a single-stack Xd. Glad I held off purchasing the XDm 3.8. Hope the Pearce extension fits, would like to get a three finger hold.

NO, I'm not dumping the PM45. It's my favorite Kahr.

A much more desirable weight.

Well they finally corrected the posted tonnage, I mean weight of the XDs. The site states 20.5 oz. That's more like it, same as the PM45. Been lusting ,like many, for a single-stack Xd. Glad I held off purchasing the XDm 3.8. Hope the Pearce extension fits, would like to get a three finger hold.

OK! That's more like it! :D:D:D

Correction,I first said 20.5 it's actually posted at 21.5 oz. My PM45 with 6 rnds. loaded tips the scale at 20.8 oz.

PM45 20.8 loaded??? that's light alright
My G27/40 is 19.86 empty and 27.1 loaded with 10/155 grain.
Even my MK40 is 24.9/28.5 w 6/180 grain.

I think this information may seal the deal. :)

I just saw an ad in American Handgunner that says it is hitting store shelves now.

$504 at Buds for the all black version.

Much lower than I expected... of course, it says 'out of stock'.

[wyntrout]

The PM45 weighs 17.3 ounces + empty mag 2.0 oz = 19.3 oz. Official Kahr weight. I got 19.35, but I have the bike tire tube grip cover.

230-gr FMJ S&B = 7.4 oz for 10, or 4.44 oz for 6, for a total of 23.74 oz.

With aluminum-cased 230-gr FMJ blazers, at 3.66 for 6 rounds, the total is down to 22.96 oz.

I use only 230-gr ammo and I've consistently gotten 23.85 or a tad less for the PM45 with 5+1 loaded.

The PM9 weighs 19.647 oz with 6+1 for comparison, and the P380 13.96 oz with 6+1.

So the PM45 is lighter, but the XD-S makes my wallet heavier! Can't wait to get my hands on one. One thing about XD's is thier grip is a little square, needs some palm swells. Of course a Hogue grip sleeve will take care of that. Put one on my PM40 and it feels so much better.

[DJK11]

Wynn,

You are correct. The battery on my scale was very low when I weigh the PM45. New battery and the weight is 23.74 oz with 5+1, 230g HST loads and the bike tube grip.

[JFootin]

Not only so, but the CW45 weighs just about the same as the XDS, the length and height are the same (with a flat metal mag base on the CW45), it holds one more round and it is going out the door for around $350. Can you say, knowing what we know about what a nice gun the CW45 is, "NO CONTEST!" :cool:

[DJK11]

The XDs is very close in length and height to the XD9sc.

[Frankhenrylee]

About a year and a half ago I decided to go with a PM40. I wanted the PM45 but there were quite a few gripes about the gun back then being that it was brand new. How are Kahr .45's these days? Imparticular the PM45 and CW45.

[DJK11]

I purchased my PM45 in 11-10. It's a "test fire" or demo and looked like it never fired a single round. DLC finish and not a mark on the stripper bar. Any way, I put 900 rnds through it in less than three months without a malfunction. Then a crack in the frame and a return to Kahr for a new frame. It's still perfect with about 3500 rnds. total.

It's the older blunt nose version.

[wyntrout]

Everything on my PM4544N has been replaced AT LEAST ONCE. Up until the new frame, I had put over 2,200 through mine and there's no telling how many Kahr put through it... but a BUNCH! I haven't kept up with "Franken-Boomer's" count since the new frame.

I need to dig out the Kahr C.S. "actions performed" just for grins, sometimes, and see what the count is for each part. I don't think there are any original parts... even the 6 magazines have all been replaced because the last big thing it was doing was EATING or destroying magazines... duplicated by Kahr... and the only thing that stopped it was a new frame. he's sitting within a few inches of my left knee as I type here, with a 7-round, extended grip mag inserted... 7+1 rounds, and a few reloads, too.

I still marvel at its size and weight for a .45. At our Christmas shoot in Colorado, some of the guys wouldn't shoot it. My wife and one of my brothers-in-law did. My wife liked shooting HIS 1911 better.

[Longitude Zero]

Now that number is more realistic. But it could NEVER replace my CW45...NEVER...

I'm confused, mind posting a link to this gun? I found the XD sub-compact 3 but it looks like it's been out for a while and can't be a single stack at 13 rounds.

I thinks all the fuss is about the new micro single stack 45 released at the Shot Show.
