They also shot a bit low with the post-in-notch sight picture I was using, but I suspect that aiming with the three-dot sight picture instead would bring those hits up some. They “shot a little left” for me at 25 yards. Our test gun came with good, easy to see fixed night sights. If you’re worried about butt length, just tilt that puppy’s holster a little bit more forward, so the rear corner of your pistol’s butt points up toward your shoulder blade. This aids in concealment no matter how you carry it, and aids in comfort when you carry it inside the waistband. The slide is well under an inch in diameter. The grip shape compensates by being thin, and therefore lying flat to the body in concealment. 45 ACP rounds stacked in the magazine have to go somewhere. When grasped in my supposedly “average-size adult male hand,” about 0.75 of and inch of gun butt protrudes below the little finger of the firing hand. Height – measured from the top edge of the slide to the bottom of the slightly protruding magazine floorplate – is roughly 5.5 inches. For those of us “Old Skool” shooters who still grasp fighting handguns with our thumbs curled down, the longer trigger reach can also keep the thumb in that position from blocking the trigger finger, as has happened to me on the smaller Kahrs. This is the “sweet spot” for leverage that double action revolver masters called “the power crease,” and it works just as sweetly with a double action semi-automatic such as this one. That doesn’t happen for me on the TP45, and trigger reach is such that my index finger sits with its distal joint perfectly centered on the trigger. That’s fine with this writer, because the little ones have always had too little reach for me, and I’ve wound up needing a straight-thumb hold to keep my thumb from blocking the trigger finger. The result is a slightly longer trigger reach than on the smaller caliber Kahrs. 40 S&W for which it was previously chambered. 45 ACP cartridge, which of course if longer than the 9mm and the. The grip-frame is lengthened front to back to allow for the. I liked this gun when it first came out, not too long ago, and I still like it now. 45 ACP magazines, Kahr came up with the TP45. 45s, and they got them, too.įor those who wanted a Kahr pistol with its famously smooth and light double action-only mechanism, capable of accepting GI-capacity. Kahr responded with their hugely popular polymer frame series. Customers loved that as well, but wanted both sizes to be lighter. Shooters loved that, too, but asked for something smaller. Customers loved the original all-steel K9, but wanted something more rust-resistant than its blue finish. One thing I’ve learned over those years is that while many companies respond to end-user feedback on a customer service call-in line, Kahr Arms tends to answer their customers from the production line, as well. I’ve followed Kahr Arms since the long-ago time when founder Justin Moon first appeared on the scene with a cool little 9mm pistol.
