Kahr TP45

Kahr Arms has long emphasized small autos in 9mm and .40 S&W until–in 2006–it introduced the P45 in .45 ACP. Now it has lengthened the barrel and added another round to the magazine of the P45 to create the polymer-framed TP45, and like other Kahrs, it is a double-action-only, striker-fired, locked-breech, recoil-operated action. With, of course, the characteristic smooth but long Kahr trigger pull.

The matte stainless steel slide is nicely finished with rounded edges and cocking serrations at the rear to provide a good gripping surface. Two metal inserts at the rear of the rails and two on the front inside the dustcover provide solid, long-lasting surfaces to reinforce the guide rails on which the slide reciprocates, thus increasing service life while adding only miniscule weight to the polymer frame.
