P45 vs G36

[kpm9]

Interesting read from Borelli Consulting. Pretty much spot on.

I had a long comparison session between the G36 and P45. So happy I ended up with the P45. I've never been a fan of Glocks. I don't like the way they feel or the grip angle. That .12" in width difference is also a big hinderance when carrying. The G36 isn't that much thinner than my XD45! The trigger on the P45 has also become my favorite trigger. That's coming from 1911/220/HK45/XD trigger experience.

Although the G36 is the thinnest Glock (and yes, I own one), the Kahr P45 is a superior carry pistol. Their specifications are very close on paper, but "on paper" conveys only part of the story.

I like a Glocks (I own a 23, 27, 22, and a 17). But every Kahr I own, will flat out shoot circles around my Glocks. I don't know whether I shoot the Kahrs better or if they are inherently more accurate.

I shoot Glocks better, but carry Kahrs better. And while I am not a .45 guy, many seem to be having issues with the G36. Not sure if these have been resolved yet.

In the not too distant future, I plan to purchase a P45 for primary carry weapon. I recently purchased a PM9 with factory nigh sights and it is a super gun and no issues with it. I have back problems, so the light weight and thin frame are what have drawn me to the P45.

I have owned a G36 for years and it is a great carry gun. It is light and shoots pretty well. My wonderful wife got me a CW9 for Christmas and I really expect it to replace the G36 for normal carry. I haven't actually shot a P45 but I understand the ergonomics are about the same and I can tell the P or CW series pistols fit my hand better than the Glock. Both are good guns but I predict I will retire the G36 soon.

I can't say much to Glocks. I've been carrying Kimber 1911's for years and can't say enough good about them. The Kahr P45 is my first DAO, polymer frame handgun. I wanted something a bit lighter, and thought I would try a 21st century polymer handgun. I'm not dissapointed!

I believe the CW9 is slight longer than the P9 which would make it very close to the size of the P45. I compared then side by side and here's the pics to show the relationship. This is my P9 and P45 side by side. The P9 is the stainless and the P45 the blackened slide.
