PM45 Range Report

[kahrseye]

Went to the range this morning and put 205 rounds thru the new baby. 200 WWB 230gr FMJ and 5 230gr HyraShoks. The gun performed flawlessly. Not 1 FTF or FTE. Yes Wyn, I did the gun prep prior to going to the range. I am very pleased with this gun. Everytime I pulled the trigger it went boom.....not bang....the PM9 goes bang.....PM45 goes BOOM.:86: The recoil is definitely larger than the PM9 but certainly manageable. The target on left was the last of the WWB and the 5 HS. All targets were 7 yards away. The HS's were very accurate. Love these guns.;) One more thing, it amazes me how small the PM45 is. It's only slightly larger than the PM9 and very carryable.

Looks like another keeper to me. No hiccups, plenty accurate and a 45 to boot. What more could you possible ask for. I have to admit I'm just a tad bit jealous even though I know its a sin to covet another mans toys.:o

Indeed a keeper that one is, and in 45... I love that caliber. And thank you for the boom/bang bit, so nice to see another BOOM aficionado around.

BOOM it is!:eek: I call it my hand cannon. I can't stop looking at them, they're just so gorgeous.

Great report...Makes me want to get out and shoot my P45. If I could only afford the freekn' ammo. PM45 is at the top of my list of "must haves"...

No need to be jealous...good things come to those who wait..

Kahrseye, I'm so happy for you. I knew you would like the "BOOMER", too. That's what I keep saying, though, that if I can carry the PM9, I can carry the PM45! Why SETTLE for a 9mm, when you can carry the big boy?
Since I got my suspenders, it's a lot easier and I don't have to keep pulling up my pants!:D
Hey, once in a while, they let one slip out the door that doesn't have to go back to the mothership. I'm glad your is such!
Did you develop one of those S.E.G.'s, too?:D
Wynn:p

Thanks, I know what you mean, the cheapest ammo I could find (WWB) was at Wally World for $34 per 100. I have heard WW had cheaper .45 ammo but I couldn't find it.

Thank you, the PM45 is a little heavy for pocket carry but as soon as I find the right holster, I'll be carrying it alot. It's size really impresses me. Thanks for all the pre range advice. I'm sure it helped keep me from sending it back to the mothership..lol. By the way, those WWB's were really dirty. I should have posted a pic of the Boomer before I cleaned her. But it was over 200 rounds.

I think that's good name, hey I got my Para, and my Smith and of course my favorite Boomer. Nice ring to it.
I'm a little tired of waiting for good things but my day will come, I have no doubt. I have patience issues but I try to get thru them when I can. My K40 went to Magna port monday, what the heck is taking those guys so long, crud its been 3 days?????:mad::der::der:

*Sh!t-eating grin! Like this :D

I think that expression came from catching your dog doing that and the expression on his face when he gets caught "having fun"!
Ya know, a silly grin... surely you must have felt that shooting your new PM45!!

Wynn:D Welcome to the PM45 S.E.G. Club! :D

I just weighed the 3 PM's again. I don't care what Kahr says, the P380 is actually a PM380!! I have a 1-gram resolution scale
with ~ +/- 10% accuracy (Less, I think).

PM45: 5+1 230gr Rem. BGS JHP = 23.386 ounces

PM9: 6+1 124gr DT GDJHP +P = 19.647 ounces
______________________________________
Difference = 3.74 ounces = 3 3/4 ounces less than PM45

P380: 6+1 90gr BB JHP +P = 13.686 ounces
______________________________________
Difference = 5.96 ounces less than PM9 and
9.7 ounces less than PM45.

EDM machining at it's finest, patience grasshopper it will come. I just love my P45, same size as my .380. The PM45 is just a bit small for my taste, but a nice one you have there.

Does you have to own a .45 to be a member of the S.E.G. Club?:target::target::target:

[jlottmc]

No, but it sure does help :D
