Bought a replacement for my carry CW45

[O'Dell]

Almost four years ago my PM45 was stolen along with fourteen other pistols including a brand new SA Loaded Ultra Compact 1911. In May of this year the Springfield was recovered. I already had three compact 1911's with alloy frames that were lighter than the all steel Springfield so I cleaned it up and put it in the safe and left it.

Today I took the Springfield to my LGS and traded it for a CM45. This served two purposes - I got rid of a pistol that I didn't need and would probably never use and I got a replacement for the PM45 of which I was quite fond and carried a great deal. Plus I got a couple of hundred dollars in pocket money on the trade.

BTW, the trigger on the CM is a bit more gritty than my other Kahrs, but if the inside is as dry as the outside, I can understand why. I think a good cleaning and lube plus working the gun a bit will solve the issue. What happened to Kahr's practice of marinating their pistols in gun oil?

That Springfield was a nice pistol but I understand completely the trade. I've done the same thing with 2 pistols in the last 6 months and dont regret it one bit. By the way, I like my CM45 lot too. Mine was a new purchase. My trades were something else.

Good deal O'Dell. I have the same thing going on in my safe: too many 1911s and one too few CM45s. Congrats.

Congrats O'Dell!

I just seen your post in my flush mag thread about getting a CM45. I knew you've been waiting for the CM to be released for about as long as I had been.

I really like mine and it has run 100% so far(~300-400 rds) It has smoothed out nicely as I've shot it. I think the trigger on my CM45 feels better then the triggers on my Kahr 9mm's... I am sure yours will smooth out after you clean, lube and break it in some.

I know what you mean about having sorta redundant guns, but I hate to sell anything LOL...I have become really fond of my CM45 and it has been my go to carry gun lately . It's a great size and weight and of coarse nothing is quite as comforting as a 45 :cool:

How many 1911's is too many? Do I need to start worrying?

Probably, but no one stole your PM45, so you don't need a replacement.

BTW, I got an E-Mail from Kahr stating that they had shipped my free mag. Pretty good CS, since I only sent the request at midnight yesterday.
