longer and .04&#8243; wider than the PM9.\u00a0 The height is the same with both containing a flush floorplate magazine.\u00a0 Speaking of which, you can see in the photos that the &#8220;flush fit&#8221; magazine sticks out a bit below the bottom of the magazine well.\u00a0 That is normal for a Kahr, though I admit to sometimes checking to make sure it is properly seated anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I am thrilled to see Kahr Arms produce a less-pricey version of their pistols.\u00a0 One dig on Kahr is that the guns have been a little on the expensive side.\u00a0 Considering Kahr&#8217;s features and reliability, I do not have a problem with the cost.\u00a0 That said, the new CM series will bring their guns into the reach of those on tighter budgets.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_453\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_2610.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-453\" class=\"size-large wp-image-453 \" title=\"IMG_2610\" src=\"http:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_2610-1024x706.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_2610-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_2610-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_2610.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Author&#39;s Kahr PM9 for comparison<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Randall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the pleasure to shoot the new Kahr Arms CM40 at SHOT Show 2012 Media Day at the Range.\u00a0 The CM40 is the .40 cal. version of Kahr&#8217;s sub-compact polymer framed pistol.\u00a0 At an MSRP of $517.00, the CM40&#8217;s price point is over $250.00 less than a comparable Kahr PM40.\u00a0 I think the new gun is a winner for powerful concealed carry.
