For quite some time, I have searched, in vain, until now, for a concealed carry pistol that is right for me. I tried Glocks, Kel Tecs, Springfields... All great guns but they all came up lacking for my needs. All that changed today. About a week ago, the fates decreed that I was to fall into a bit of extra cash. I had been doing a ton of research on the PM series of pistols, read reviews, watched videos, lit candles...
I decided upon the PM45, but to my chagrin, could not find any in stock, anywhere. I chanced to run into an old friend, who happens to be an FFL dealer and he said he would locate one for me. The next day, he rang me and informed me that he located five PM45s but would need cash in hand before making the order. Before I could get to his house, all five pistols had sold, all five. Dejected, I returned home and posted an ad on a local website, "Want to Buy, Kahr PM45". I did not expect anyone to answer my ad, for quite some time or ever.
Before I could whistle dixie, a fellow pmd me, letting me know that he had a PM45 he received in trade for another pistol, with only 50 rounds down her, with the warranty card. I will, for decency's sake, not mention the price, only because I got an obscenely good deal. We met, I paid, and went to a gun shop and bought a Hogue Handall Jr, went home and put the handle on.
Today I took her to the gun range and I shot 300 rounds, without one hiccup, without one failure to feed, without one failure to eject. It was bliss... The trigger is like butter, the recoil is a non issue, and this pistol is a little nail driver. Needless to say, I'm happier than a pig in, well, you know...
My search is over. I plan on putting XS big dot sights on her and picking up a good IWB, perhaps a Crossbreed. All is good in my world.
