P45 or CW45?

.... thats an awfully big hole in that barrel that wouldn't be one of those new fangled 45's, now would it.

No, you are mistaken in your assumption (understandable, as you mention in a later post that you don't have a Kahr pistol). Those rails that I pointed out in the video (and nebodaky circled in the photo from the Glock Talk link above) are what the slide rides on. Bawanna and Jocko have explained it, but here are a few photos that should further illustrate the slide's interface with the steel rails molded into the frame:



The poly rails you mention serve to guide the slide onto the metal rails. The pistol would function fine without them. I'm sure that once you have the opportunity to actually handle/inspect a poly frame Kahr you'll see what we are trying to convey to you.

Thank you VERY much for posting those pics, and your patience in explaining it to me......now I understand this much better.

u can't beat GBG6491 photo work. We would be lost here without his expertise..

I picked up a slightly used all black P45 a couple of years ago---the former owner had sent it back to Kahr several times for various issues and was DISGUSTED with it---I knew this going in, but the price was right and included everything along with three mags total---the damn thing runs perfect for me and shoots right to point of aim! I also own two CW9s (one for me, one for wifey)---I really don't see enough differences between the P models and the CW series to worry about---spend some range time to get used to the long DAO trigger and you are good to go!

Warms my heart to hear your story. A classic tale we don't hear nearly often enough. Welcome, hope you like it here.

Man, this is EXACTLY what I needed. We're having a spirited discussion here at the lab regarding 9mm vs .45 ACP.

I just showed this photo to the guys championing the sissy gun... and there was simply nothing they could say! Discussion over...:33:

What's worse is the fact that you can do that with 40 too, not nearly the same amount of room but you can do it.

[Bawanna]

It is rather profound and meaningful. I'd not get too loose attaching the word "Sissy" to the sissy 9mm round. Theres an awful lot of guys here that truely love their 9's. Some even are enamored with the pathetic 380 round.
I once held a 32, had to have a magnifying glass to read the head stamp.

I can't believe I said any of this. Maybe just to fire up a pretty boring monday morning on kahrtalk? Excuse me while I slip into my fire proof suit and ballistic vest.

That’s way I like the 45 acp. Even if my 45 JHP personal protection round dose not expand to my expectations the 230 grain bullet will still make one hell of a hole.

Great pic, gb - excellent photography. As for the comment about "sissy gun", LSP972, I highly doubt the first thing someone hit by a 9mm Gold Dot or HST would think would be "Man, what a sissy gun!" My intention is not to get into a caliber war. I'd rather not get hit by either. There are other more important battles to fight than 1) which round is best and subsequently [what it eventually diminishes into] 2) who's more manly. You 45 guys are just so much better than us 9mm sissies, LSP972. Your rounds just rock and ours suck. Discussion over.

[LSP972]

Got some knickers in a twist, did I? You guys need to get over yourselves.

I know, probably better than you, that the 9mm is a viable cartridge. I have been involved in numerous shooting investigations involving 9mms, and I see- several times a month- 9mm ball bullets that have killed someone on the street (I work in a crime lab, a sweet retirement gig). My wife carries a 9mm; you think I'd allow that if I didn't believe the cartridge wasn't effective???

Its a running joke between us here in the lab, okay?

So, Mikey, take some ibuprofen for your bruised ego, and relax...

[Bawanna]

Go easy on Mikey, my nephews got the power of bawanna covering his back.

Your sweet gig at the lab sounds indeed sweet. Bet you see all kinds of things, alot you probably would prefer not to see.

I pick on 9 and really on 380's just cause I enjoy it but theres certainly a place for them and a need for them. No need for a caliber war here for sure.

Now if we want to argue about manliness I'm up for that. Or whose dog can kick the other guys dogs arse, that would be good.

I only got a Beagle, sadly born without a fully functioning brain so I suspect she won't go far in the dog race but we'll enter and make a showing anyhow.

O Boy, caliber war:59:

I've got the CW45, two 9's a CW9 and PM9 and even a 380 LCP so I have all the bases covered.
