Kahr P45

Has anyone seen or shot one? What are your thoughts?

I've seen one

There is a Kahr P45 sitting in the case at Iron Sights gunstore in Oceanside. It has been there a while and I have looked at it, but not shot one. I don't exactly remember the price, but I'm pretty sure it is over $600. It is larger than most polymer Kahrs, such as the models P9 and P40, but it is small for a .45 - smaller than a Glock 36, I believe. I have read that it weighs about 20 ounces empty, holds 6 in the magazine and has a 3.5 inch barrel, the same as a Colt Officer's 1911.

Here is a photo of the gun and of a woman holding the gun, to give you an idea of the size:

American Handgunner did a writeup on the P45 late last year.

The author seemed to like it.

Also take a look at the PARA LDA P45 sized version. It has all the bells and whistles. The only major difference (I would asume) is the wieght because it does not have a poly frame.
