Design and key features

The KAHR ARMS PM40 is a double-action only, polymer-framed pistol built around compact dimensions optimized for everyday concealed carry. Barrels are 3 or 3.2 in length and are adorned with drift adjustable sights, allowing sight tuning at the range for a consistent point of aim. The design emphasizes a snag-free profile and reliable function from a compact chassis.

Slide, finish, and grip

The stainless steel slide is available with a stainless steel or black finish, providing corrosion resistance and visual options to suit your preference. The PMs textured polymer grips ensure a steady grasp whenever you need this concealed carry pistol, even with shorter barrel leverage and during rapid follow-up shots.

Performance with .40 S&W

Chambered in .40 S&W, the PM40 offers a balance of terminal performance and magazine capacity appropriate for a compact platform. For carriers who value a heavier-hitting round without stepping up to a full-size frame, .40 S&W in a 3–3.2″ barrel gives effective energy transfer while remaining controllable with the PM40’s ergonomic grip and DAO trigger system.

View product details and pricing — the listed price for this configuration is $643.99, reflecting the compact stainless slide model with polymer grip and drift-adjustable sights.

Practical considerations for carry

For daily carriers, the PM40’s short barrel footprint and polymer frame reduce printing in common holster setups. The drift-adjustable sights let you dial in point-of-impact changes from ammunition differences or holster cant. Kahr Arms has built a reputation for compact DAO designs, and the PM40 continues that lineage with simple field-stripping and maintenance expectations.
