The Kahr Arms CM40 semi-auto pistol is chambered in .40 S&W and takes value priced features from the Kahr CW series and then infuses those features into a compact 3” barrel. The CM40 has a conventional rifled barrel and the slide stop lever is metal-injection-molded instead of machined. The CM series slide has fewer machining operations and uses simple roll marking instead of engraved markings. The Kahr Arms CM40 handgun boasts real sights, which are drift adjustable in the rear and a front sight featuring a white bar-dot configuration. The CM40 slide is machined from solid 416 grade stainless steel and is only .94 inch wide. Magazines are made in the USA, plasma welded, tumbled to remove burrs and feature Wolff Gun Springs. The black polymer frame features patented 4140 steel inserts molded into the frame in the front and back for added rigidity and strength. The Kahr CM series is offered at a value price, but does not compromise the features, reliability or accuracy found amongst all Kahr pistols.
