The Kahr CM45 delivers .45 ACP performance in a surprisingly compact package, built around a 3.24" barrel with 5+1 round capacity. Despite its powerful chambering, this polymer-framed pistol maintains a slim 1.01-inch width while weighing just 19.3 ounces unloaded. The pistol features Kahr's smooth double-action-only trigger system, drift-adjustable rear sight, and matte stainless steel slide with front and rear serrations. Like its 9mm counterpart, the CM45 achieves value pricing through strategic features like traditional rifling, pinned front sight, and simplified markings, while maintaining essential Kahr characteristics including the offset feed ramp design and reliable operating system.
