Detailed Review
The Kahr CM40 is a subcompact, single-stack .40 S&W pistol that is ideal for concealed carry. The CM40 is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol that is designed to be both reliable and easy to use. It features a 3-inch barrel and an overall length of just 5.47 inches, making it easy to carry and conceal.
The CM40 has a capacity of 5+1 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition. This may be a drawback for some users who prefer higher capacity pistols, but for others, the compact size and reduced weight of the CM40 will make up for the lower capacity.
One of the standout features of the CM40 is its trigger. The trigger on this pistol is smooth and light, with a crisp and clean break. This makes it easier to shoot accurately and consistently. Additionally, the CM40 has a passive safety built into the trigger that prevents accidental discharges.
Other features of the CM40 include adjustable sights, a checkered front and backstrap, and a textured grip that provides a secure hold under adverse conditions. The CM40 also has a low bore axis, which helps reduce muzzle rise and recoil, making it easier to shoot quickly and accurately.
The Kahr CM40 is a reliable and affordable option for those looking for a compact .40 S&W pistol for concealed carry. Its lightweight and easy-to-use design make it a popular choice among law enforcement, military personnel, and civilians alike.
If you're looking for a reliable, compact pistol for concealed carry, the Kahr CM40 is definitely worth considering.

Damm good " EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT " for a damm good price purchased it back when it was $289. Yes it was very tight and super stiff out of the box, but did a lot of review watching on this model and PM40 model. More good reviews than bad reviews, the most h

October 8, 2018Sorry. I purchased the CM40 in 2018 and really wanted to like this pistol -- size and accuracy were great. Recoil was manageable. BUT, too many failures to feed (all sorts of ammo -- although it seemed to like Liberty Civil Defense fairly well), and now t

May 15, 2018Love this gun! Perfect size and weight. Fits perfect in most of my pants pockets which makes this a brilliant CW coupled with good ammo gives you plenty of confidence in a tough situation.

July 31, 2017I know Kahr specifies a 200 round break-in period before considering their weapons reliable, but I've never found that to be the case despite what some youtube twits claim. Like the last Kahr I bought this has performed flawlessly out of the box. This tim

January 21, 2015I've put about 250 rounds through this pistol so I feel pretty comfortable reviewing it now. Anybody looking at this pistol obviously wants a very small gun with a big punch and the CM40 definitely delivers. The gun was delivered quickly (thanks Buds) and

October 23, 2014The gun itself arrived in perfect condition,flawless!!!,a true pocket rocket.Took it to the range ,after 50 rounds the only issue being a long trigger pull that I'm sure I'll get used to.Dont get me wrong it's not as much of a pleasure to shoot as my XD40

October 6, 2014I bought this pistol from Bud's two years ago and am very impressed with it. It was deemed my official Summer ccw to replace my g27 after i gave it a chance to prove it's reliability and function to me. Kahr reccomends a 200 round break in period. 3rd mag

June 29, 2014I am surprised that I don't really hear about these little Kahrs, as this is on of the only true pocket .40s that I am aware of. Make no mistake, this is a true pocket gun- I carry this pistol exclusively in my right front pocket with a Blackhawk! #3 in-t

May 7, 2014Bought this gun due to its small size and weight. Even though I have other subcompact guns for conceal carry purposes (Glock 27 and Taurus PT24/7 G2 compact 45 ACP) I would find myself attracted to my Taurus mini PT738 and carry it almost on daily basis.

April 5, 2014Picked this up due to my experience with my Kahr PM-9 and CM-9 and both of them have been flawless for me. This new CM-40 is the same, great fit and finish and smooth right out of the box. Good gun, good price! As always Buds was great to deal with! AAA +
