Kahr Arms PM45

On Point Firearms has the lowest prices on Kahr Arms handguns and Kahr accessories, including the lowest price in the nation on the new Kahr PM45 subcompact .45acp. The new PM45 is perfect for concealed carry and packs a punch.
Kahr Arms is an American small arms manufacturer with headquarters in Blauvelt, New York and a manufacturing facility in Worcester, Massachusetts. The company specializes in compact and mid-size semi-automatic pistols chambered for popular cartridges including 9 mm Luger Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. Kahr pistols feature polymer or stainless steel frames, single-stack magazines, and double-action striker firing actions.
The company was established by Kook-Jin “Justin” Moon, son of Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon.
History
Kahr has offered its line of compact pistols at a time that has seen a liberalisation of concealed weapons laws, in many U.S. states. Since the 1990s, many states passed “shall-issue” laws, promoted by the American National Rifle Association and other gun rights organizations, that required state authorities to issue permits to carry concealed weapons to law-abiding citizens who met certain conditions set forth by state law. In 1994 the U.S. federal government banned manufacture and importation of pistol magazines with more than a 10-round capacity. These were the so called “hi-capacity” magazines, which again became legal to manufacture and import in most states in September 2004, after the relevant federal law expired. This change in federal law rendered many staggered-magazine pistol models (commonly with magazine capacities of 15 or more rounds) less popular in the American market. They were now overly large in light of their newly mandated 10-shot limit. [1] Kahr was at the forefront at offering small well-made pistols that fire eight or fewer relatively large 9mm and .40-caliber bullets. Their single-stack magazines enable a slender compact pistol that has proved popular with the buying public.
[edit]Kahr design
The Kahr action is a Browning locked-breech design and has a striker-operated firing pin with a passive firing pin safety. It is a true hammerless action. When the trigger is pulled, the double-action mechanism draws back and then releases the striker.
The Kahr trigger is similar to a double-action revolver, with a short 3/8 inch trigger travel. The Kahr slide travels on four steel inserts. Kahr pistols have their feed ramp offset to the left, which allows the trigger draw bar to lie flatter against the right side of the frame. This design feature helps the 9mm Kahr pistol line to achieve slide width of .90 of an inch, narrower than many popular pistols.[2]
