If Kahr does not have a model to suit your particular requirements, it probably isn’t made anywhere. The latest addition to Kahr’s line is the CM40, built purely for business as a stainless-steel and polymer model, weighing in at less than 18 ounces empty and offering a 5+1 capacity. Given the size and weight, the CM40 may come with a less-thansharp recoil, but this gun was built for go, not show. The CM Series is the economy version of the PM Series. The main differences are in the manufacturing techniques and design. Instead of the polygonal rifling that’s found on Kahr’s PM Series, CM guns have traditional rifling. CMs have MIM’d slide-stop levers instead of machined levers and simple engraving versus roll marking. Unfortunately, CM guns ship with only one magazine. With all the function and reliability in a gun you don’t plan to shoot on a daily basis, this is a great compromise for the money. MSRP $517.
