For a very compact .45 it’s pretty exotic. Would have been unthinkable back in the 1970’s-80’s. 1” wide and only 16-18 oz. Very accurate. Trigger is basically like a DA revolver but totally smooth and consistent all the way through. No safety needed, no matter if it’s dropped, etc. the CW45 is a bargain to try. It has plastic riveted on front sight. The fancier PM45 has dovetail steel night sights and fancier Walther barrel, some cast parts rather than powder formed.
I found they can take US GI Spec. 1911 mags for back up. They have terrible resale value (?) so a fantastic bargain can be found.
