I never would have believed it but...

aside from the great news, there's lessons to be learned about the manufacturing, marketing, and markets....

Nice! I have been waiting for this one (almost bought the CW45 so many times, but I restrained myself LOL) I think this will be my next Kahr.

I already like the looks/lines of this one over the PM45, and from this pic it shows that the slide serrations go all the way to the top, I never understood why the PM45 only had half size serrations???

I think their specs maybe a little optimistic though... unless Kahr figured out how to make the CM45 lighter, shorter. and carry 1 more in the mag???

LOL about the specs. Copy/Paste anyone?

[TucsonMTB]

I hear that. If the picture of the CM45 is correct, the numbers in the dealer listing are wrong.

I scaled the two images in Photoshop to compare them and the CM barrel (thus slide) does NOT appear to be shorter. If it were, a quarter inch shorter barrel and slide might account for a 1.2 ounce weight reduction. But, they appear to be the same size in the scaled images. So, I dunno.

The grips appear to be the same length. So, the 5 + 1 = 6 round capacity is the same, as listed

It is a nice looking piece and I agree with you about the serrations, BEARDOG.

Just for the heck of it I emailed a question about the ETA of the release of the CM45 for sale to Kahr sales C.S. and he thinks, (like I thought), it will be a SHOT intro...

This is what they said....

" I currently do not have any details in regards to possible availability/shipping dates for the CM45.

I am guessing it will likely be introduced at Shot Show 2013 with more details following that.

Thanks! "

Just for reference, I was one of the first to get a CM9. After its SHOT show intro, I bought it the first day they were released for sale and that was the @ the end of March...3/28/11

Wonder if it'll have a flush-fitting magazine like the other CMs?

[MLESa7990]

If its like the CM9 and CM40, the frame will be the same as the PM45, so i'm sure it will still be the same polymer mags as the PM45.
