PM9 vs PM45

[JoeMB]

I'm sure there are members out there who have both, and I am interested to know about the size/weight difference between the two. Maybe a side-by-side picture or two of them. I have the P380 and love it and am interested in getting something bigger for the upcoming cooler seasons.

Thanks for your help.

thanks for the help, still think I have got to handle them side by side... I'll keep you posted.

I have both and I like the grip on the 45 better. It's longer and my pinky does not hang off the bottom which gives me better control. The 45 is a little longer and thicker but not a problem to conceal. If your looking to pocket carry the 9 is a better choice if you are going to carry on a belt holster than the 45 would be my choice. I carry the pm9 in the summer and the 45 in the winter. Both guns are great just depends on what caliber you want.

Well I have a P380 for the summer weather... I would go with a belt or IWB for the 9 or 45. I am debating a change from my XD40 sub-comp. The XD is kinda wide and prints a bit. How is the reliability on your's?

I would consider a PM40 but I have heard bad things about how snappy it is.
