The Kahr PM40 delivers .40 S&W performance in a remarkably compact package, built around a 3.1-inch match-grade polygonal-rifled barrel with 5+1 round capacity. Despite its powerful chambering, this premium micro-compact maintains a slim 0.94-inch width while weighing just 15.1 ounces unloaded. Distinguished features include dovetailed tritium night sights, enhanced slide serrations, and match-grade barrel with polygonal rifling for enhanced accuracy and longevity. The polymer frame incorporates aggressive texturing strategically placed for enhanced control under the increased recoil of the .40 S&W cartridge, while the stainless steel slide is available in matte or blackened finish options. The pistol maintains Kahr's renowned double-action-only trigger system and offset feed ramp design, ensuring reliable operation in a premium defensive package. Standard equipment includes two magazines (one flush-fit 5-round and one extended 6-round), providing versatility for different carry scenarios. The PM40 also features a loaded chamber indicator, external slide stop, and Kahr's passive striker block safety system, making it an excellent choice for concealed carry applications requiring enhanced terminal performance.
