I have nothing to but good things to say about my KP345PR which I purchased in 2006. I bought it for HD. Back in early 60's I used to carry a 1911 and when I went shopping, naturally I first asked for one of those. However, in my old age, I found it difficult to due to overall size and weight. I had read many articles on the P345 and everything they said about it, proved to be true, lighter and generally more compact; even a woman would like it. I mention that because when I took my wife out shooting with it, she fired a magazine's worth of ammo and she got downright giddy on the drive home. she had never fired a pistol before. For a DA, it was accurate enough for me to get my CCP. With only 8 + 1 rds. in a mag. I was able to carry it over to CA and show it to my son and G'daughter. She liked it even more then the new Kimber she had just bought. Needless to say I am a fan of this pistol which I know will last for generations to come.
