Got the ribs off the smoker, ... YUM! :p
Thinkin' about cleanin all 4 poly micros .... :confused:
NOPE! Gotta shoot 'em first! :D .... off to the range ...
All of these pistols are black slide, trijicon nite site models. The reason I mention this, is because of the similarities, it's very easy to transition from one to the other during live fire sessions.;)

The same manufacturer, the same niche, the same feel, the same sights, & the same trigger. All range ammo is Federal ball from WallyWorld. All carry ammo is Hornady Critical Defense. KISS; keep it simple stupid! No failures all day as usual.:)

For starters: 2 magazines thru the P380, just to warm up. What a fun little gun...
Next a double tap from the PM9, PM40, & PM45 each in rapid succession at 7 feet. Repeat at 15 feet. Repeat at 25 feet. Repeat entire sequence with triple tap.
Finish the session with varios targets & scenarios running 50rds thru the PM40, as it's the newest to Toy!

Final impressions:
* kahrs are very high quality, accurate, & reliable weapons.
* The PM40 is closer to the PM9 than tha PM45 in felt recoil.
* The PM40 is closer to the PM45 than the PM9 in muzzle flip, but followup shots are still very reasonable.:cool:
* I really dig the PM40!!!

Back to the family for left over ribs & football :D ... i'll clean the "tupperware" tommorrow! :bump2:

I REALLY want to try out a PM45 soon.
Im a 1911 and .45acp guy and a gun like the PM45 serves many roles a 1911 just cant do.

I know id like to see that Kimber Solo in .45 but the same size as the 9mm as that would be hard to beat also.
But thats just how odd life is, We CCW guys scream "WE WANT 9MM GUNS THE SIZE OF .380 GUNS" and then we get them and now we want .45acp guns the same size as the tiny 9mm ones.
But luckily Kahr has done that already, But it would be nice to have more options.

Seems Kahrs been 2 steps ahead of everyone else in having guns ccw people want and need, But since this new rash of small 9mm's the world is nipping at Kahrs heels. Better get innovating again guys!
Don't worry ill buy what every you come up with, Many people here will buy 2 of each new model also.

RONDO, how close together could you keep your shots with those guns, if you were doing true double taps? I'm just curious. I have not tried it.

Hey Jeremia!
I use more of a "deliberate point" than an aim @ a 7' target, 6-8" spreads are okay . As caliber goes up & targets recede to 15' & 25', more deliberate aiming is required; but still getting the second shot and /or third off very quickly; while the impacts spread some... I think this is realistic training for a concealed carry guy, particularily the close in stuff.
Try it, you'll like it! ;)
