SS Kahr P45

[rockydog]

I think I've found a great deal on one of these. It looks new, unfired, with box, 2 mags, and all the paper work. Want your opinions and also price range. Thanks

PS. it's actually a CW45

I would like to hear some opinions also. I'm considering picking one of these up as well.

I guess I'll sift through the threads myself LOL

Kahrs are junk, stay away and tell me where that deal is so I can properly dispose of it...

Never had a 45, but I recently acquired a K9 and am astounded with it. Smooth trigger, accurate, reliable and just feels great in the hand. Gonna be looking for another sometime when I have some spare dough.

under 400.00 otd so I put money on it tonight...

I was looking for a P45 but ended up buying a PM45 this morning. Make sure you give us a range report.

My buddy had a P45 for a few years. HIS pistol was crappy (feeding + ejection issues, slide stop would release the slide as a mag was rammed in)

I had a CW-40 for a few years. I liked it until it broke...but Kahr fixed fer me, for free, two different times.

The P45 was accurate enough, but not really an "all day range gun". Those skinny / light polymer frames aren't meant for that. My CW-40 had more felt recoil...but the P-45 was plenty for me, thank you.

If you're set on a relatively inexpensive and ultimately carry-able / concealable .45 ACP pistol, then the CW45 or P45 will do you well.

But my own personal opinion is that Kahr's polymer frames just do better with 9mm than .40 or .45.

Thanks for the info Indy. Is Kahr a "Inexpensive" gun? I thought it was a mid to higher priced gun. I noticed the suggested retail is higher than like Glock, M&Ps, Rugers, XDs, and such. I always heard the fit and finish was better than normal also but that's what I was wanting you INGOers feedback for. Thanks again

Their CW series is very affordable. See post above- $400 for a CW45.

Yeah, that's my post I was thinking I got a good deal @ under 400.00 (retail is 606.00 I think, and no one around here has been selling under retail)

Yes, their CW line of pistols are their "economical" choice. I'd rather buy a CW than a P... I don't think that the P is worth the extra they charge. Especially now that you can get night sights for the CW pistols.

My dad just bought a CW45 at PSS, $428 NIB + tax

I love my CW9

Not bad at all! And with the money he saved over the P45, he can buy an extra magazine or two. CW comes with 1, P comes with 2.

I really think Kahr is possibly the best company out there when it comes to the sheer range of CC pistols available at a range of prices and construction.

I got one about a month ago. I paid $399.00 used with two mags. Look like new after I clean it. I put 150 round through it with no problems.
