Good tip, thanks TAM! I'll have to try that CW45 out at the range. The other things I like about the G36 is that the recoil was manageable, and the slide is easier to rack than my Kahr P9, which has a pretty stiff slide. I've gotten use to it, but it's hard for my wife to use. All in all I DO like my Kahr, though.The Annoyed Man wrote: When I was looking for a small, single stack, striker-fired .45, I narrowed my search down to the G36 and the Kahr CW45 pretty quickly. I bought the Kahr. I bought it for two reasons: 1) I already owned a PM9 and I like the Kahr platform, an 2) the Kahr was $399 versus $565 for the Glock in the same store (Cheaper than Dirt, Fort Worth). If you like your Kahr, take a look at the CW45. BTW, I have also pocket carried this gun, although it is better in a holster, and I have had none of the "rounds popping out" issue with the CW45 spare magazine which can happen with the 9mm. Also, with a fairly simple modification, you can adapt 1911 magazines to fit the CW45.
But the deal maker/breaker for me was the price. $166 difference for no appreciable increase in performance from the Glock made the Kahr the choice for me. Same nice Kahr trigger, etc. So if you like your Kahr, give the CW45 a look-see.
The cafe robbery in Florida made me rethink the idea of relying on a .380.Shinesintx wrote:Are you still comfortable with your EDC caliber? This whole Colorado shooting has caused me to rethink my EDC. I have been carrying a P238 Sig for about a year now. Its part of me. I put on my watch, my wedding ring, put my wallet and phone in my pocket along with my Benchmade Kulgera...and I am out the door only when my little Sig is IWB in a DM Bullard. I have been of mind that a .380 is better than nothing, but this shooter would probably not have even noticed 7 rounds of .380.
Yep, me too! The guy just ran away.Hola Gato wrote:The cafe robbery in Florida made me rethink the idea of relying on a .380.Shinesintx wrote:Are you still comfortable with your EDC caliber?

That's not the worst outcome by any means.Yep, me too! The guy just ran away.Shinesintx wrote: The cafe robbery in Florida made me rethink the idea of relying on a .380.
I agree and good assessment.JALLEN wrote:That's not the worst outcome by any means.Yep, me too! The guy just ran away.Shinesintx wrote: The cafe robbery in Florida made me rethink the idea of relying on a .380.
The shooter in that situation didn't really get a solid hit on either of them, tough to do with any caliber because once the shooting started, they were all over themselves getting out of there. I imagine the pre-op briefing didn't cover the possibility of a crazy old man shooting at them.
Why would anyone sell a P220? I just finished reading Chris Kyle's book, American Sniper, and that is what he prefers, although the news item about his carjacking claimed he used a 1911. News reports are seldom accurate, of course.Shinesintx wrote: On a side note, not that you accused me, but I started this thread to if if some had changed their mind as to what they carry. It was not to start another caliber war...it was purely to see if anyone was second guessing themselves like I was. I am getting close to selling a P220 to fund a Kimber Solo or CW 45...maybe both?
Man, I can relate to waiting on a house to sell. Let's hope that gets cleared up and you get back home soon!JALLEN wrote:. . . in anticipation of a move, but here I still sit waiting on the house to sell.
Because I have 3 P220s...and an HK45 and HK45c. Basically, I have too many full size guns and am considering scaling down several larger guns to get CW type pistols.JALLEN wrote:Why would anyone sell a P220?

The .45 I like best is the HK45, which I intend to buy as soon as I take up residence in Texas. Those are not on the approved list here, so can only be bought from someone who has one legally, like a LEO, or someone who moved here with one. I had a HK45C and was very much impressed. I also have a P7M8 which I have been well-pleased with but it is 8 shots of 9mm, and gets hot very fast. I sold the 45C in anticipation of a move, but here I still sit waiting on the house to sell.
Actually, I'm a Native Houstonian, an expat here for many years.Shinesintx wrote: Also, I really dont care too much for the Citizens of the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia...but you seem decent enough...get here as fast as you can.
