No, I meant the K series from Kahr. They don't have an all steel K series in 45acp. I have shot a few Kahrs but I don't like the polymer P series. Shooting a 13-18 ounce 9mm is a little silly to me and I wouldn't even bother with a 16 ounce 45acp. I rather carry a heavier 40 or 45acp and get less recoil. I have shoot the K series in 9mm and it was great and I have heard they have less problems but the p series are just to light and have an unnecessary amount of recoil. The PM9 has more recoil then my Glock 20 10mm. I don't mind small and powerful but I like a little weight to it. As long as its compact and I can conceal it I don’t care if it weighs another 5-10ounces. Plus like Ram4171 said many have had problems with them and I wouldn't trust one for carry. I know many think there great but honestly they have a lot of break in problems and for how much they cost I think it is a little ridiculous.

I hate it when I slobber on my keyboard!

If it was a 9mm or .40 S&W the Kahr K9 would probably win in all categories except I can not speak to reliability. They are very thin, feel great in the hand and weigh 25 + ounces. Wish they made one in a .45acp. As for recoil, well I think .45acp is easier to shoot then .40 given a firearm with similar size. For what its worth it seems like you are looking for a single stack .45. As for double stack S&W M&P 45 are the best double stack mag guns that still feel good in the hand that I know of. With the smallest backstrap it almost has that great single stack feel to it.

Just going to throw a few that might work out there. Sig 220, S&W 4516 or CS45. Sig 220 is a great firearm! I think Mr. Camp did a review on one not to long ago if you want to take a look.
