Could you imagine the recoil of a true .45ACP pocket pistol?
I want to thank all of you for your input regarding these small .45 ACP's. I gave my friend the following list to take a serious look at:
Kimber Ultra Carry II 45
Smith & Wesson M&P Compact 45
Springfield XD Compact 45
Kahr P45
Sig P250 Compact 45
His local gun store recommended the Springfield XD Compact .45, and I have to agree.

That statements begs the question...."Why would you recommend the Springfield .45ACP Compact when Springfield offers a much smaller .45ACP?" Can't figure that one out.
LOL, a pocket pistol does in fact indicate the handgun will fit in a pocket; XDs, LCP, Shield (maybe), PPS (maybe) but any handgun w/barrel length > 3.5" ain't going to be a comfortable pocket carry.arizona98tj,
As I have said in numerous posts, "pocket pistol" simply describes a small pistol which may or may not be actually carried in a pocket. His intention is not to carry it in a pocket or even concealed carry it at all. He simply wants a small frame .45 ACP pistol. So, there is no advantage for him to go with an ultra small pistol with a very short sight radius for a plinking gun.

with no intentions of using it for concealed carry, I would steer the person away from any small frame for caliber handgun.....
Pocket Carry?I just picked up a Kahr CW45 today. I gave it a quick cleaning and then took it to the range for 150 trouble free rounds (100 rounds Federal FMJ and 50 Fiocchi JHP). Accuracy at 30 yards was excellent for a ~20oz 45 CCW.
