Is PM45 Grip 2 or 3 Finger?

[Bill K]

Reason I ask is that was in a LGS yesterday and was able to look at a CW45. Grip height was tall, allowing for three fingers; not what I want in a carry gun. Does the shorter grip of the PM9 allow for a two finger grip with pinky under?

CW45 grip hid OK in the Mexican carry position but printed badly in my 2nd preferred AIWB carry position (1st being pocket carry).

Thanks...

For my thick fingers:
Cw45 - 3
Pm9 - 2 (pinky under)
Pm45 - 2 (pinky under)

My hand fits - just - on baseplate with three fingers, but its more comfy pinkie under.

Thanks guys, that is what I wanted to hear.

:blushing: Now I feel like a fool having argued here on KahrTalk that since the PM45 wasn't really for pocket carry why would you want one for belt carry, the CW45 and P45 making more sense. That the PM45 was a useless offering. Now, for me, that .31" less grip height makes a big difference in terms of my preferred grip and improved AIWB concealability.

Mexican carry. In my area we have what we call the DAGO carry. A thompson in each hand and a stick of salami in the back pocket. No Mexicans around here:banplease:

Everyone looks great in the pic....except the guy on the right. Just something...off about him. :faint2: Hope that's not you Bill K, sorry if it is!! :blushing: BTW, no need to apologize, we all learn on here...and yes, we even change our minds at times. Glad to have a "safe" place to do that.

I think that fella on the right might be Jocko. Does he look Italian to you.

I think I can see a well used PM9 in his left pocket.

Could you picture that guy on a Harley in the middle of Indiana in the middle of winter? Not our jocko. Looks more like Wyn I think. :cool:
