I'm ready to buy a .45 carry pistol and will be looking closely at the new Shield, the Glock and the Kahr. Not liking the XDS.

The G36 is not a true single stack 45ACP, the bullets are not stacked straight up and down inside the magazine like a standard 1911 is. Plus the width difference is drastic between it and even the XDS. Here is a picture for comparison.

To me it's like comparing a G26 to a G43... no contest on width and thickness of the slide.

Kahr puts out a great product but I would shy away from their lower tier CM and CW series, they are not made as well nor do they have the features of their other lines. But if you love a smooth double action revolver trigger pull it is hard to beat the triggers on any Kahr pistol no matter what tier or caliber you go with.
