I have both the Dan Wesson PM9 and the Ruger Koening 45. Both guns for the money are an excellent choice. My Dan Wesson PM9 is my favorite hand gun. I added Techwell grips and magwell to the gun and use this firearm in IDPA ESP Division. The 9mm Ruger Koening comes with the Techwell magwell and grips, but the 45 does not. I changed the grips on the Ruger Koening 45 to Techwell grips and Magwell.
