Wish me luck. I try to turn my Kahr into a Glock.
So to get the G21 of my dreams, I need to sell my Kahr. I looked up prices on Gunbroker, and found one at $750(!) and another at $450, both used.
I paid $250.
Crazy market, and I am crazy enough to try to see if I can squeeze most of a G21 out of the CW45, it's holster, and a spare mag. Consignment, then my LNGS keeps that as a down payment and orders me what I want.

Kahr, one holster, and one 1911 mag that fit it =66% of the way there

I feel the cash I ponied up was well worth it for a brand new, Gen4 Glock 21. Quite an upgrade.
Only one mag through it so far, but I will rectify that this weekend. Seems quite accurate so far.
I already call it my Orthopedic .45. With the large backstrap, recoil impulse is about like a typical alloy 9mm TDA. Marshmallow-y and slllllow. That double recoil spring works! 4th Gen trigger is definitely nicer than the 3rd Gen on the g20 that inspired me to buy it.
Oddly enough, it's also my first new handgun purchase, ever. Only took a few days before my 49th!!
It's a complete old man's gun. I am very happy. I'm putting some giant, luminous sights on it. Other than that, keeping it box stock.
(Can't waste pennies since I now have a bizarre desire for a slim Glock next--a "if .380 is great, is 9mm a bad idea?" post is probably in my future)
Thanks to all who gave me advice in my thread asking about the G20 vs. G21!
Happy birthday to me!!![
ETA: I did have to drop my asking price after awhile, but only by $100. Crazy prices for Kahr .45s are still around. If anyone has one to sell, I would do it now.
