How much bigger is the P45...

[willieboat]

Compared to a P9? Is it a lot bigger?

I have a cw45 and my brother has the nine. The 45 has a slightly longer slide, and I think the grip is a little longer. The biggest difference is the width. The 45 is a little over an inch wide and the 9 is .9". The dimensions seem very slight, but it is a noticeable difference. The 45 is still a very small and concealable gun. I think the 45 is more of an achievement from an engineering stand point. There are about a dozen comparable 9mm's now, but the 45 stands alone in its class, in my opinion. I carry my cw45, same dimensions as p45, daily in a crossbreed mini tuck. I much prefer 45 over 9 though, in any gun.

With the exception of width, the PM45 is about the same size as the P9.

Looking down the business end, the bad guy would say "Definitely a LOT bigger!"

Hard to argue with that statement! :D

I am currently looking at buying a Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II and dressing it out the way I want it, but really wish Kahr would make a K45 Elite.
