You guys are definitely mirroring a lot of what I took away from shooting it. I thought the overall build quality and construction was very nice. I liked the way it shot, recoil was a bit strong, but I think that's to be expected when you are shooting .45acp out of such a small gun. Trigger pull was long, but I really don't mind a long trigger pull as long as it's light and smooth, which it was. This one still needs broken in, its very tight, has maybe only 150 rounds through it, so with time the trigger will probably get even smoother. I'm more a fan of 9mm than .45, but that's not a deal breaker or even a negative, it's just not a plus. I'm glad to hear that everyone is pretty much on the same page with it. I have a few others I'm going to look at, but this PM45 is now a strong contender. Thanks everyone!
