Kahr vs 1911 for CCW

[Bawanna]

Maybe retired but once a LEO, always a LEO. I don't think you can turn it off.

[JimC]

up until u stated ur a 15 year retired LEO, one would certainly had taken ur posts as one speaking of being a LEO now.

jocko;

You just "assumed" that I was still active LE.
Just because one retires doesn't mean that he has forgotten how it is or should be done done.

Check your PMs.

[jocko]

Yes I did assume and u kknow what assume means to.

got ur PM; thanks.....

i still say kahr needs to make a k45. i'd rock a k45 elite all day.

+1 on that!

[jocko]

now would that be a dandy gun!! would it sell like hotcakes???? I doubt it, . That would be a major investment to go into production with a K45 as everything would have to be "bigger". probably internals could stay the same but it would be very costly and I think the retun in sales would be mimimal. Just my 2 cents. The K9i has have 17 years to work it qirks out, not sure I would be around long enough to see all the quirks worke dout in a K45. It could very easily be a P380 in disquise to. as dirty harry would say, u wanna take a chance on did I shoot 5 times or 6???, well something on that order..

Today for my daughter-in-law's birthday I took the family to Luby's. I never go there anymore, as I think it's a poor imitation of its former self, but it was her choice. She's 8 months pregnant, so no arguing with that.

Anyway, I had the PM9 on me. Full of Corbon 115 grain +P JHP. Two spare magazines. Sitting there, my thoughts drifted to another Texas Luby's about 20 years ago, where 23 people were shot dead, and 20 wounded in one 10 minute period by a single gunman using Glock and Ruger 9mm's. All unarmed sheeple by then Texas law. They all thought they were out for a nice lunch.

If I had not been hit by the truck coming through the window, or one of his first victims, I have NO doubt I could have taken him out with the initial 7 rounds in the PM9. (I know it wasn't around then). At least I could have tried. He stopped shooting to change magazines several times.

An 8 shot 1911 would possibly have been better in that circumstance, but I imagine any red blooded man or woman there would have sold their soul for that little PM9.

As a CCW in .45 ACP, either works for me:

That was a real tragedy. I wish you could have been there with your PM9.

To the original OP, either Kahr or 1911, or even a DA/SA works for me. I change my carry weapon a couple of times a week, you'll get used to them and won't even think about the differences. I prefer .357, 40, 45, and anything bigger than 357 that says magnum, but that's just me. I do have a CZ52 with some little hollowpoints that I want to test against a hog to make sure that I don't have over penetration problems, but that's how it goes.

???

I'm not sure I can abide by such small under-powered handguns for CCW.

[jlottmc]

I know that wasn't directed at me, if I recall it was you who just got the new 357.

My 640-1 is visiting with the gunsmith and unavailable for photos - LOL!

Uh huh, mine work just fine out of the box. Both of them. I do need to get a 41 and 44 magnum in my battery though. I need a 500 for giggles too. I'm working on that and some more right now. Oh and FYI, I don't care for 45 Colt, I'd rather have a 44 mag. That should be fun when I go looking for a matching carbine.
